Identify the type of mirror that best matched the description given. When light rays reflect off 1. Concave mirror Its surface, they diverge When held far away from its 2. Convex mirror surface, objects appear smaller and upside down Can concentrate the Suns 3. Concave mirror rays to a focal point so a piece of paper burns 4. Neither concave or convex mirror
Applications Of Reflection Of Light
When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.
Sign Convention for Mirrors
A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.
Identify the type of mirror that best matched the description given.
When light rays reflect off 1. Concave mirror
Its surface, they diverge
When held far away from its 2. Convex mirror
surface, objects appear
smaller and upside down
Can concentrate the Suns 3. Concave
mirror rays to a focal
point so a piece of
paper burns
4. Neither concave or convex mirror
