Understanding Curved Mirrors in Optics: Principal Rays and Image Formation

This overview delves into the fundamental concepts of curved mirrors in optics, focusing on principal rays and the images they form. It outlines three principal rays critical for ray tracing: the incident ray parallel to the principal axis, the one passing through the focal point, and the one through the center of curvature. We explore image characteristics created by concave and convex mirrors, including real and virtual images, and their respective orientations and sizes. Additionally, practice problems and key applications of curved mirrors are presented for a comprehensive understanding.

  13. PHS 5041 OpticsCurved Mirrors Principal rays: Rays for which we do not need to measure angle in order to determine their direction after reflection. There are 3 types of principal rays: _Incident ray parallel to principal axis _Incident ray passing through principal focus _Incident ray passing through centre of curvature

  17. PHS 5041 OpticsCurved Mirrors Drawing images formed by curved mirrors: We use the three principal rays (whenever feasible) for both type of curved mirrors, and according to the position of the object

  18. PHS 5041 OpticsCurved Mirrors Drawing images (Concave Mirrors): Image is: _Real _Inverted (with respect to object) _Smaller than object

  19. PHS 5041 OpticsCurved Mirrors Drawing images (Concave Mirrors): Image is: _Real _Inverted (with respect to object) _Same size than object

  20. PHS 5041 OpticsCurved Mirrors Drawing images (Concave Mirrors): Image is: _Real _Inverted (with respect to object) _Bigger size than object

  21. PHS 5041 OpticsCurved Mirrors Drawing images (Concave Mirrors): NO Image

  22. PHS 5041 OpticsCurved Mirrors Drawing images (Concave Mirrors): Image is: _Virtual _Upright (with respect to object) _Bigger size than object

  24. PHS 5041 OpticsCurved Mirrors Drawing images (Concave Mirrors): Concave mirrors do not produce images between F and V

  25. PHS 5041 OpticsCurved Mirrors Drawing images (Convex Mirrors): Image is: _Virtual _Upright (with respect to object) _Smaller size than object

  26. PHS 5041 OpticsCurved Mirrors Drawing images (Convex Mirrors): Image is: _Virtual _Upright (with respect to object) _Smaller size than object Image increases size as object approaches mirror Convex mirrors ONLY produce images between F and V
