astronomy astronomy astronomy astronomy Mailings S Review View Delete Resolve Previous Next Track Changes Markup Options"Reviewing Accept Reject A concave or converging mirror is one where the shiny side is on the inside of the curve, and the light rays are hitting the inside of the curve. This type of mirror can create a real image. Look at this information at Splung.com (http://www.splung.com/content/sid/4/page/concavemirrors) or a different trustworthy source before answering the following questions: 8. Can you make a real image (one where the light rays actually come together) witha converging mirror? If so, how? If the object is outside of the center of curvature, the image will be smaller than the object. If the object is in between the center of curvature and the focus, the image will be larger than the object. 9. What happens to the image size if the object is right at the center of curvature? 10. Can you make a virtual image with a converging mirror? If so, how? Part 4: Curved Mirrors, Convex or Diverging The other type of curved mirror is a convex, or diverging mirror. It would be shiny side out, where light rays only bounce off of it from outside the curve. Only virtual images can be created by a convex mirror. 11. Create and insert below a diagram of a light ray hitting a convex mirror. Be sure to label the mirror, light ray, tangent line, normal, and outgoing light ray on your diagram.

Explanation / Answer

8)

Yes. By placing the object beyond the focal length F of the mirror.

9)

Size of the object is same as the size of the image.

10)

Yes. By placing the object infront of the focal point F (i.e. between the mirror and F).
