Reflection of light - mirrors

Behavior of light using mirrors: Rays of light hitting a flat mirror reflect in the same direction. Rays of light hitting a flat mirror reflect in the same direction. However, rays of light hitting a curved mirror reflect in different directions. However, rays of light hitting a curved mirror reflect in different directions. There are two types of mirrors: concave and convex. There are two types of mirrors: concave and convex.

Concave mirrors Concave mirrors are curved inward toward the center (like an entrance to a “cave” or the inside of a spoon). Concave mirrors are curved inward toward the center (like an entrance to a “cave” or the inside of a spoon). The rays of light hitting a concave mirror move toward each other, crossing over each other and then move apart again. The rays of light hitting a concave mirror move toward each other, crossing over each other and then move apart again. The point at which the rays meet is called the focal point of the mirror. The point at which the rays meet is called the focal point of the mirror.

Images in Concave mirrors: If you are standing far away from a concave mirror, your image appears to be upside down and smaller. If you are standing far away from a concave mirror, your image appears to be upside down and smaller. If you are standing inside the focal point, your image appears to be right- side up and much larger than normal. If you are standing inside the focal point, your image appears to be right- side up and much larger than normal.

Convex mirrors Convex mirrors are curved outward, like the bottom of a spoon. Convex mirrors are curved outward, like the bottom of a spoon. When light rays hit the surface of a convex mirror, the light rays move away from each other. When light rays hit the surface of a convex mirror, the light rays move away from each other. Your image appears smaller than you really are and is right-side up. Your image appears smaller than you really are and is right-side up.
