Comparing Concave and Convex Mirrors

I OBJECTIVE

Students should be able to differentiate concave and convex mirrors


Explain the importance of utilizing curved mirrors in different fields

Part A: Concept Check

1. Definitions
a. What is a concave mirror?
b. What is a convex mirror?

2. Ray Diagrams / Image Formation


For each mirror type, draw ray diagrams showing how an image is formed for an object
placed:

o beyond the center of curvature (for concave)

o between the focal point and the mirror (for concave)

o anywhere in front of a convex mirror

In each case, label the object, mirror, principal axis, focal point, center of curvature (if
applicable), rays, and the image (real/virtual, upright/inverted, magnified/reduced).

3. Characteristics Table
Fill in the table with the correct properties:

Property Concave mirror Convex mirror

Reflection (side of mirror used)

Image type (real / virtual / both)

Orientation (upright / inverted / both)

Magnification (size relative to object)

Uses / applications
