Concave Mirror Ray Diagrams

How are "C" and "f" related?

• C = f

• C = 2f

• C = f/2

• f = 2C

The first ray drawn in a ray diagram starts out _____ to the principal axis and is reflected through _____.

• parallel, C

• perpendicular, f

• parallel, f

• perpendicular, C

The second ray travels to the mirror through _____ and is reflected _____ to the principal axis.

• f, parallel

• C, parallel

• f, perpendicular

• C, perpendicular

When the object is placed at C, the image is:

• real, inverted, same size, located between C and f.

• virtual, inverted, larger in size, and located between C and f.

• real, inverted, same size, and located at C.

• real, inverted, smaller in size, located beyond C.

When the object is located between C and f, the image is

• virtual, inverted, larger, and located behind the mirror.

• real, inverted, larger, and located farther from the mirror than C.

• virtual, upright, smaller, and located between the mirror and f.

• real, upright, same size, and located at C.

When the object is located at f, the image is

• no image is formed.

• real, upright, same size, and located at f.

• real, upright, larger, and located at C.

• virtual, upright, same size, and located at f.

When the object is located between f and the mirror, the image formed is

• real, upright, larger, located between the mirror and f.

• virtual, inverted, same size, and located at C.

• virtual, upright, larger than the object, and located behind the mirror.

• no image is formed.
