Q2-CONCAVE AND CONVEX MIRROR

I have a reflective surface that curves inward like a bowl shape.

The same size and distance of the object beautifully appear.

  My outward curved surface reflects like the back of a spoon.

  When light rays hit my surface parallel to my principal axis, they converge, intersect, or meet at a single focal point.

   Light rays strike and diverge, making objects appear farther away.

If the object is beyond my focal point the image is real and inverted.

  I am widely used as a safety mirror in parking lots, malls, and roads. I am used in vehicles as side mirrors, I provide drivers with a broader view.

  What kind of spherical mirror converge incident rays at a focal point after reflection?

• CONVEX

• DIVERGING

• CONCAVE

• PLANE

Which of the following statements BEST differentiate concave mirror from a convex mirror?

• A concave mirror diverges light rays while a convex mirror converge light rays.

•   A concave mirror bulges away from the light source while convex mirror bulges towards the light source.

• A concave mirror is also known as diverging mirror while convex mirror is known as converging mirror.

• A concave mirror creates a real and upright image while a convex mirror creates a real and inverted image.

How can you describe the characteristics of images formed by convex mirror?

  

•   Inverted, reduced and virtual

•    upright, enlarged and real

• inverted, same size, and virtual

• upright, reduced, and virtual
