Spherical Mirrors

We can take advantage of the law of reflection to help us determine the qualities of an image produced in spherical mirrors. These video outlines the theory and explains how to draw ray diagrams for concave and convex spherical mirrors.

Now that we understand how images are formed by spherical mirrors we can begin the analysis of images mathematically.

This video will show the proper use of the mirror equation: GEO_SphericalMirrorPractice_Equation1.gif

and the magnification equation: GEO_SphericalMirrorPractice_Equation2.gif
