CURVED MIRRORS
The ‘Four Principal Rays’ in Curved Mirrors
Images formed in a curved mirror can be located and described through ray
diagramming. The P – F ray, F – P ray, C – C ray, and the V ray are the ‘Four
Principal Rays’ in curve mirrors. These rays, applied for concave and convex
mirrors, are presented in Table 5.
3. For a convex mirror, light rays diverge after reflection and converge from a point that
seems to be behind the mirror (virtual focus); but the procedure for locating images is the
same as for concave mirror.
PERFORMANCE TASK #2
In the next activity, you will use the steps described above to locate and describe the
images formed by concave and convex mirrors through graphical method. To do this,
always start by drawing the curved mirror and its principal axis, then identify the F and C on
the principal axis. Next is to draw the object then diagram the rays from the object

Are you L-O-S-T after Reflection?

Objective: Construct ray diagrams to determine the location, orientation, size, and type of
images formed by curved mirror.

Materials: • Protractor and ruler • Sheets of paper

Procedure:
1. Apply the steps on ray diagramming above. Use the four principal rays to locate the
image formed in a curved mirror.

Concave
Mirror
PERFORMANCE TASK #3
2. Use a table similar to Table 6 below to summarize the characteristics and location of
the images formed.

1. Refer to Table 6. How does the location of the object affect the
characteristics and location of the image formed in a concave
mirror? Convex mirror?

LENSES
 To graphically determine the position and kind of the image formed, the ray diagram
can be used. Consider the following steps using the three major rays described above:
1. From the object, draw the first ray (P–F ray). From the same point on the object, draw the
second (F–P ray), and third (V ray) rays.
2. The intersection of the rays is the image point corresponding to the object point. For
example, if you started diagramming from the tip of the arrow-shaped object, the
intersection of the refracted rays is also the tip of the arrow-shaped image. Thus, you can
determine completely the position and characteristics of the image.
3. For a concave lens, light rays diverge from a virtual focus; but the procedure for locating
images is the same as for convex lenses.

PERFORMANCE TASK #4
In the next activity, you will use the steps described above to locate and describe the
images formed by convex and concave lenses by graphical method. To do this, always start
by drawing the lens and its principal axis, then identify the F and 2F on the principal axis.
Next is to draw the object, then diagram the rays from the object.
Are you L-O-S-T after Refraction?
Objectives:
• Construct ray diagrams for lenses.
• Determine graphically the location, orientation, size, and type of image formed.
• Show graphically the changes in the image formed as an object’s position is changed.

Materials: • paper • ruler

Procedure:
1. Apply the steps on ray diagramming above. Use the ‘three most useful rays’ for each
of the following cases to determine the location, orientation, size, and type of the
image.
2. Use a table similar to Table 9 below to summarize the characteristics and location of
the images formed.
