Understanding Convex Mirrors

The video tutorial explores the properties of a convex mirror, which bulges outward. The instructor conducts an experiment similar to one done with a concave mirror, observing how the image changes as the distance from the mirror increases. The image remains upright and virtual throughout the experiment, making it less dynamic compared to the concave mirror. The tutorial highlights the differences between convex and concave mirrors in terms of image formation.

What is the shape of a convex mirror?

• Flat

• Bulging inward

• Bulging outward

• Concave

What type of image is formed when the observer's nose is up against the convex mirror?

• Upright and virtual

• Inverted and real

• Inverted and virtual

• Upright and real

As the observer moves to the focal point, how does the image appear?

• Inverted and real

• Upright and virtual

• Inverted and virtual

• Upright and real

What happens to the image when the observer moves beyond the radius of curvature?

• It remains upright and virtual

• It becomes inverted

• It becomes real

• It disappears

How does the image behavior of a convex mirror compare to that of a concave mirror?

• More boring

• More interesting

• More complex

• More dynamic
