Question

can you explain me Ray diagrams

Answer 1

The line of sight principle suggests that in order to view an image of an object in a mirror, a person must sight along a line at the image of the object. When sighting along such a line, light from the object reflects off the mirror according to the law of reflection and travels to the person's eye. This process was discussed and explained earlier in this lesson. One useful tool that is frequently used to depict this idea is known as a ray diagram. A ray diagram is a diagram that traces the path that light takes in order for a person to view a point on the image of an object. On the diagram, rays (lines with arrows) are drawn for the incident ray and the reflected ray. Complex objects such as people are often represented by stick figures or arrows. In such cases it is customary to draw rays for the extreme positions of such objects.

Answer 2

hii 

generally ray diagrams are used to represent the position of image formed and the characteristics of the image..............


           there are 6 types of ray diagrams

1.object is at infinity
2.object is at between infinity and center of curveture
3.object is at center of curveture
4.object is at b/w center of curveture and focus 
5.object is at focus
6.object is at b/w focus and pole

               and the characteristics for concave mirror is real and inverted expect the object is at b/w pole and focuss

   object is at b/w the pole and focus image is formed at other side of mirroe nd object is virtual erect and enlarged
