The focal length of a concave mirror is 10 cm. Find its radius of curvature.
AB is the object, A'B' is the image, and MM' is the position of the mirror. Complete the ray diagram showing the formation of the image and find the focal length of the mirror.
The diagram below shows the parallel rays incident on a convex mirror. C is the centre of the curvature of the mirror. By drawing the paths of the reflected rays, label the focus F and hence find the focal length of the mirror.
What is the difference between virtual images of an object formed by a concave mirror and a convex mirror?
The image formed in a plane mirror is always inverted.
