Concave and Convex Mirrors

makes object appear larger

convex

what is the surface that light strikes at and reflected back at an angle

plane mirror

when you look into a plane mirror, your reflection is (reversed left to right too)

right side up

What is the image formed by a plane mirror? Behind or front of the mirror? Define.

virtual, behind the mirror, and image through which light doesn’t travel

image which light can pass through and CAN BE projected onto a screen

real

what does the image formed by the concave (curved inward) mirror depend on?

optical axis (line down center of mirror), focal point (lights rays entering mirror parallel to optical axis and reflected through a single point), focal length

what images do concave mirrors form?

virtual and real images

In concave mirrors--
-If reflected rays in a ray diagram cross in front of the mirror, what image is formed?
-If reflected rays extend in straight lines, what image forms?
-All rays that pass through the focal point on their way to the mirror will reflect in what direction to the optical axis?

real, virtual, parallel

what mirrors are used in car headlights and flashlights?

concave

an object more than 1 focal length away from a concave mirror forms what form and type of image?

upside down, real image

an object less than 1 focal length away from a concave mirror forms what form and type of image?

right side up, virtual image

A mirror that curves outward. All images formed by this mirror are ____________________ and all images formed BEHIND the mirror. What size and form are all shapes in?

Convex , Virtual (reflected rays do not cross) , Smaller size than original shape, Right side up

these mirrors are used as security in stores and side mirrors on cars

convex

if an object is placed at a focal point of a mirror, what image will form?

no image will form

what images can convex lens form? What images can concave lens form?

real/virtual, only virtual

lens used in magnifying and camera lenses. Sometime in eyeglass

convex

lens used in microscopes and eyeglasses

concave

what images do plane mirrors form?

virtual

If object is between 1 and 2 focal lengths away from the Convex lens, how will the image of the object turn out?

real, larger (than original)
