 Spherical mirrors are the mirrors which have the shape of

piece cut out of a spherical surface. The surface may be
either curved inwards or outwards. Spherical mirrors can
be of two types: Convex mirror and concave mirror
 A spherical mirror is a curved mirror formed by a part of a
hollow glass sphere with a reflecting surface
 Distorting mirrors are used for entertainment. They have

convex and concave regions that produce deliberately

distorted images.
Technical terms
 An image that is produced that is less than the focal length
of the mirror is a virtual image
 Centre of Curvature
is defined as the center of the hollow glass sphere of which
the curved mirror was (previously) a part

 Focus is defined as the point on the principal axis, where

the light rays traveling parallel to the principal axis after
reflection meet.

 The pole is defined as the geometric center of the curved

mirror

 Principal axis is the line joining the pole to the center of

curvature of a spherical mirror. On which all rays coming to
the mirror is compared

Objective:
At the end of the activity, the students should be able to:

 investigate the effect of varying object location upon the characteristics of

the images formed by a concave and a convex mirror
Materials:

 Virtual simulation in “The Physics Classroom”

Procedure:

 Go to the Optics Bench simulation found in the Physics Interactives section of

The Physics Classroom with the link
https://www.physicsclassroom.com/Physics-Interactives/Reflection-and-
Mirrors/Optics-Bench/Optics-Bench-Interactive
 By default, Optics Bench opens in
Lens mode. Click on the mirror
button to change to Mirror mode.
You should observe a curved mirror
with its principal axis, a candle, and
three sets of incident and reflected
rays. See diagram. Experiment with
the environment in the following
ways:

 Tap and drag the candle back and forth along the axis; observe how the
image changes.
 Use the focus slider to change the focal length. Notice how f and 2f change
location. The 2f point is the Center of Curvature location.
 Use the height slider to change the image height.
 Notice how the object can be changed into an arrow or a vertical column of
letters (A B C).
 Notice how the incident rays can be toggled ON and OFF.

 Notice how the object can be dragged to the right side of the mirror – the
convex side.
Observations:
1. Concave Mirrors: Use the sliders to set the focal length to approximately 30 cm and
the object height to approximately 20 cm. Then drag the sliders to the various
locations described in Table 1. For each location, practice the L•O•S•T art of image
description - that is, describe the image Location, Orientation, Size, and Type.
Record your observations using Table 1 on the reverse side by circling the
appropriate descriptor.

Introduction
You have already learned about what is a
concave mirror and how image is formed in concave
mirrors. It is time for you to apply this knowledge to
answer critical questions.
Directions. Read the following situations and answer
what is asked. You can use a separate sheet of paper
for your answers
1. If you are designing a shaving mirror, would
you make it concave or convex? Explain your answer.
2. Why do some make up mirrors have 2 sides? What do the different sides do? How
does each side produce its special view?
3. How will a concave mirror used as a side mirror for automobiles be dangerous?
4. A ball is hung on a string in front of a concave mirror. The ball swings towards the
mirror and back. How would the image of the ball change in
the mirror as the ball swings back and forth?
5. What would happen on the light beam of a flashlight if you
were going to take out the shiny curved reflectors on it?
Draw the comparison of the two set ups.
6. The diagram shows a curved mirror surface and a light bulb
and its image. In relation to the focal point of the mirror,
where is the light bulb (object) most likely located? Explain.
7. A candle is located beyond the center of curvature, C of a
concave spherical mirror having a principal focus, F, as shown in the diagram. Sketch
the image of the candle.

Guide questions:
1. Describe a concave mirror
A concave mirror is a type of spherical mirror which has a reflective surface
that is curved inwards.

2. How does the distance of the object from the mirrors affect the characteristics of
the image: upside down, right to left, small to large?

Different images are formed at varying distances from the concave mirror.
When the object is placed far from the concave mirror, it will produce an
inverted image and at the focus of the mirror, no image is formed. Lastly, if
the object is placed very near to the concave mirror, the image formed will
be erect and it is a virtual image

3. Base from the results of the experiment, cite 3 applications of concave mirrors
One characteristic of concave mirrors is that it enlarges images of objects
when the object is placed near the mirror. Three applications of concave
mirrors are: Dental mirrors, Make-up Mirrors and Concave telescopes

Generalizations

From this experiment, how are images formed in concave mirrors?

Images are formed in concave mirrors such that all incident rays are reflected
back on the focus making the images look inverted if they are at a distance from the
concave mirror. If the object is placed at the focus of the mirror, there will be no image
formed .

Physics to go!

1. If you are designing a shaving mirror, would you make it concave or convex? Explain
your answer.
Answers may vary.
2. Why do some make up mirrors have 2 sides? What do the different sides do? How
does each side produce its special view?
Make up mirrors has two sides with two different mirrors. One side is a plane
mirror while the other side is a concave mirror. The plane mirror reflects light
at the same direction of the angle of incidence. Making the image of the
same size and same distance as the image from the mirror. On the other
hand, the concave mirror side produces enlarged image to provide a better
view of the face of the user.
3. How will a concave mirror used as a side mirror for automobiles be dangerous?
Automobile side mirrors are designed to provide a wide view of the rear side
of the car. It allows the driver to anticipate overtaking cars. Using concave
mirrors as a side mirror is a bad idea for it reverses the image formed and it

enlarges the image of the object, the driver will not be able to see clearly his
rear side.
4. A ball is hung on a string in front of a concave mirror. The ball swings towards the
mirror and back. How would the image of the ball change in the mirror as the ball
swings back and forth?
As the ball swings towards the mirror, the ijmage of the ball is enlarged and
as the ball swings back, its image becomes inverted and becomes smaller as it
moves father from the mirror
5. What would happen on the light beam of a flashlight if you were going to take out
the shiny curved reflectors on it? Draw the comparison of the two set ups. Explain
why it happened
The light beam of the flashlight with the curved reflectors on will be focused
on one spot. After removing the curved reflectors from the flashlight, the
light beam from the flashlight became dispersed. This is because the curved
reflectors act as concave mirrors which collects the light from the flashlight
and focuses it on one spot
6. The diagram shows a curved mirror surface and a light bulb and its image. In relation
to the focal point of the mirror, where is the light bulb (object) most likely located?
Explain.
The object should be located at the center of curvature of the concave
mirror. At the center of curvature of a concave mirror, the image formed will
be the same as the size of the object.
7. A candle is located beyond the center of curvature, C of a concave spherical mirror
having a principal focus, F, as shown in the diagram. Sketch the image of the candle.
