This document outlines an experiment to construct ray diagrams and describe images formed by a concave mirror as the object position is varied. The experiment involves placing an object at different positions (at C, at F, beyond C, between F and C, between F and V, and between F and C) and drawing the corresponding ray diagram to determine the image position, size, orientation, and type (real or virtual). The document then asks the student to analyze how the image changes as the object position varies and to discuss the importance of concave mirrors and examples of devices that use them.
