- Activity 2: Convex Mirror (Curved-out mirror) Look at the photographs of the white light beams and the color light beams reflecting off the convex mirror. Answer the questions in complete sentences. Does the convex mirror have a focal point? Explain your answer. Did the convex mirror cause left-right reversal of the light beams? Explain your answer. Did the convex mirror cause the rays of light to diverge, converge, or remain parallel? Explain your answer. Explain the order of the colors of light on the screen (from left to right) and compare them to the order of the colors coming from the light source. SAMSUNGarrow_forwardThe process of how images are formed in a camera is similar to that of our own on eyes. What do you think is the difference between a camera and the human eye in terms of the process of image formation?arrow_forwardThe focal length of a convex mirror is negative. What does this tell you about the size of the magnification of the image? The sign? For a concave mirror, an object is place three focal lengths from the mirror. Where is the image? What is its orientation? Does a flat mirror produce a real or virtual image? What is its magnification?arrow_forward
