The document discusses the characteristics and three main rays of a concave mirror. It explains that a concave mirror's surface bends inward and focuses rays of light. The three main rays are: 1) a ray parallel to the principal axis is reflected to the focal point, 2) a ray passing through the focal point is reflected parallel to the principal axis, and 3) a ray passing through the center of curvature is reflected back along the same path through the center of curvature. The image formed by a concave mirror can be real or virtual, inverted or erect, and either enlarged or the same size as the object.
3. Before studying the three main rays in
concave mirror, let’s see the characteristics
of them.
4. The Reflection of Concave Mirror
Characteristics of Concave Mirror :
1.The mirror surface bends inward
2.Unite the ray beam
3.In daily life, the examples are in a torch and
the lamp of car.
6. CONCLUSION
FORMATING THE IMAGE OF THE CONCAVE MIRROR :
Three main rays
1. The incident ray which is parallel to the principle axis
is reflected to the focal point (F) of the mirror.
2. The incident ray which comes through the focal point
(F) is reflected parallel to the principal axis.
3. The incident ray which comes through the point of
curvacture is reflected back through the point of
curvature (M)
