What kind of mirror is shown here?

• plane
• concave
• convex
• diffuse

Concave mirrors can create virtual and real images.

• True
• False

An incident ray that is parallel to the principal axis of a curved mirror...

• will reflect parallel to the principal axis
• will reflect through the focal point
• will reflect through the center of curvature
• will continue along the same path through the lens

Convex mirrors can produce...

• Real, erect images
• Virtual, erect images
• Real, inverted images
• no images form

If a candle is placed at C in front of a concave mirror, the image

• will appear at f in front of the mirror

• the image will appear at C in front of the mirror

• the image will appear between C and f on the same side

• the image will not appear
