• 😀 When standing in front of a convex mirror, the image formed is virtual, upright, and diminished in size.
• 😀 The formula for calculating the focal point, image distance, and magnification for convex mirrors is provided, with a focus on understanding negative values for the focal point in convex mirrors.
• 😀 Magnification in convex mirrors is always smaller than one, meaning the image is reduced.
• 😀 The lesson moves on to discuss lenses, starting with the difference between concave and convex lenses, both of which bend light differently.

Q & A

What is the main difference between concave and convex mirrors?

The main difference is in the curvature. A concave mirror has an inward-curved surface, and its focus point and curvature are in front of the mirror. In contrast, a convex mirror has an outward-curved surface, with the focus and curvature behind the mirror.

How does a convex mirror behave with parallel light rays?

A convex mirror causes parallel incoming rays of light to diverge, as if they are coming from a point behind the mirror, known as the focal point.

What are the three special rays in a convex mirror?

The three special rays for a convex mirror are: 1) Rays parallel to the principal axis that reflect as though originating from the focal point, 2) Rays that pass through the focal point and reflect parallel to the principal axis, 3) Rays that pass through the center of curvature and reflect as though originating from the center.

How do you calculate the magnification of an image formed by a convex mirror?

Magnification (M) is calculated using the formula: M = |h'| / |h|, where h' is the image height and h is the object height. The magnification for convex mirrors is always less than 1, meaning the image is smaller than the object.

What is the equation used for the focal length in a convex mirror?

The equation for the focal length (f) in a convex mirror is: 1/f = 1/x + 1/f', where f is the focal length, x is the object distance, and f' is the image distance. For convex mirrors, f is always negative.

Why is the image formed by a convex mirror always virtual, upright, and diminished?

The image is virtual because the light rays do not actually converge; instead, they appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror. The image is upright and diminished because it always forms between the focal point and the mirror, making it smaller than the object.

What are the components of a concave lens?

A concave lens is a transparent optical element that is thinner in the middle than at the edges. It can cause light to diverge and has two focal points—active (F1) and passive (F2)—which are located on opposite sides of the lens.

How do concave lenses affect parallel incoming light rays?

Concave lenses cause parallel incoming light rays to diverge, as if they are originating from the focal point on the opposite side of the lens.

What is the significance of the lens curvature in determining the focal length?

The curvature of the lens affects the focal length. For concave lenses, the curvature causes light rays to spread out, and the focal length is always negative. The degree of curvature dictates how much the rays will diverge, influencing the focal distance.

How do you calculate the power of a concave lens?

The power of a concave lens is calculated using the formula: P = 1/f, where P is the power in diopters and f is the focal length in meters. The focal length for a concave lens is always negative, making the power negative as well.
