GɪᴠᴇN:-
- An image Y is formed of a point X by a Mirror whose principal axis AB is shown
Tᴏ FɪɴD:-
- To draw a ray diagram and locate the Mirror and the focus .
AɴsᴡᴇR :-
( May refer to attachment also )
• From Y draw perpendicular on the principal axis AB such that YI = IN .
• Draw a line joining points in and X so that it meets the principal axis AB at P . The point P will be the pole of the Mirror.
• As the image why of object X is real inverted and enlarged the mirror must within Concave .
• Join Y to X and extend it towards the mirror. It represent a light ray which after striking the mirror is reflected along the same path . Therefore the point C where YX intesects the axis is a centre of curvature of the Mirrror.
• Taking C as a centre and CP is radius draw the arc of the circle . This Arc represent the concave mirror.
•The midpoint of CP is the focus F , since 2f = R.
- As an object is held in front of a spherical mirror the distance of the object is always negative.
- The real image is formed in front of the mirror so it's distance is taken as negative.
- The virtual image is formed at the back of the mirror so it's distance is always positive.
- Focal length of concave mirror is considered as negative.
- Focal length of convex mirror is considered as positive.
- When image formed is virtual and erect magnification is positive.
- When image formed is real and inverted magnification is negative.
- The height of the object taken to be positive as the object is usually placed on the principal axis.
- The height of the image should be taken as positive for virtual images and it is taken negative for real images.
