Question

Draw a ray diagram to show the path of the reflected ray corresponding to an incident ray which is directed parallel to the principal axis of a convex mirror. Mark on it the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Any ray parallel to the principal access will be reflected into the focus but as here in convex mirror,Focus behind the mirror ,so we need to extend the reflected ray backward.

Answer 2

Answer:

Image formation in convex mirror:

• A convex mirror is a kind of spherical mirror in which the reflecting surface is the protruded section of the sphere; in other words, the reflecting surface of these mirrors protrudes outward in the direction of the incoming light source.
• As a result of its design, which causes incident light to be reflected outwards (diverged), they are also known as diverging mirrors and are not employed for light focussing.
• Convex mirrors always produce virtual images.
• This is due to the fact that the convex mirror's focal point and center of curvature are both imaginary positions that are hard to reach.
• As a result, the image is created within the mirror and cannot be seen on a screen.
• From a distance, the image formed appears smaller than the object, but it grows larger as the object is brought closer to the mirror.
