This document discusses different types of mirrors and their properties. It describes plane mirrors and two types of curved mirrors: convex and concave. Convex mirrors form a smaller virtual image than the object, while concave mirrors form a magnified virtual image. The document also provides formulas for calculating the focal length and magnification of curved mirrors based on the object and image distances and radius of curvature. Key properties of mirror reflections like being virtual, erect, and laterally inverted are also noted.

2. A mirror is an object ,smooth
and well polished surface
which reflects most of the light
falling on it.

7. •Types of Mirrors
oPlane
oSpherical
Convex
Concave

9. Its erect or upright.
It is virtual.
It is laterally inverted.
It lies along a line joining
object and surface which is
perpendicular to the
surface.
Size equals object.
Its located as far behind
the reflecting surface as
the object in front of it.

12.  Concave or convex mirrors form part of a sphere
 POLE
 CENTRE OF CURVATURE (C)
 RADIUS OF CURVATURE (r)
 AXIS
 PRINCIPAL AXIS
 1/u+1/v = 1/f = 2/r v – dist. of image frm mirror
u – dist. of object
r – radius of curvature
 M= -v/u M - magnification

28. Convex- smaller image
Concave- magnified image
