    A convex lens generates a real image of a subject. A convex mirror is positioned in the way of the light rays between the image and lens such that the light rays, after refraction through the lens, normally strike on the mirror’s surface. The light rays are then reflected back, retracing their trajectory and generating an image of the object. The f...

    Calculate the probable focal length of the convex lens by focussing the image of a distant subject (example: a tree) on a clear screen and calculating the length between the image and the lens.
    Fix the object needle, the mirror, and the lens on the optical bench as shown in the above figure. Then adjust their height in a way that the needle’s tip, the pole of the mirror, and the lens’s op...
    Place the object pin between 2F and F. Tune the mirror and the needle in such a way that there is no significant parallax between the object needle’s tip and its inverted image produced at O.
    The focal length of the convex lens,F= _____ cm.
    The actual length of the index needle, L = _____ cm.
    Observed length of the index needle = Position of mirror upright – Position of pin upright on the scale = _____ cm

    Determine the mean value of the radius of curvature of the convex mirror, R, and determine its focal length using the following relation f = R/2 =____ cm

    1. What are the main types of mirrors? Answer: There are two main types of mirrors, and they are as follows: 1. Plane Mirror 2. Spherical Mirror 2. Is silvering in mirrors generated by applying a silver coating or some other substances? Answer: In inexpensive mirrors, silvering is generated by the application of mercuric oxide, while the silver coa...

  3. A 4.0-cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 35.5 cm from a convex mirror having a focal length of -12.2 cm. Determine the image distance and the image size.

    • Image Formation by Plane Mirror. The "object" could be any physical object or a source of light, but we often depict it as an upright arrow.
    • Concave Mirror. The distance from the focal point to the mirror is called the focal length, f. We will not go into the details of the proof, but it can be shown using the small angle approximation that the focal length is equal to half the radius of curvature
    • Principal Rays of a Concave Spherical Mirror. Using rays to determine the location, orientation, and the size of the image is known as ray tracing.
    • Deriving Equations for a Concave Spherical Mirror. Since we are using the small angle approximation (we assume that all distances are close to the optical axis), the mirror can be approximated as flat where light is reflected, as shown by the bold vertical line.
  4. Jan 11, 2021 · Find the image distance of an object placed 3.00 cm in front of a convex mirror whose focal length is 8.00 cm. A 4.0 cm tall light bulb is placed a distance 35.5 cm from a convex mirror with a focal length of -12.2 cm.

  5. The distance to the focal point from the mirror is called the focal length. We can see from the figure that this focal length is also equal to half of the radius of the curvature. shows the ray diagram of a concave mirror.
