State the rules for drawing ray diagrams in spherical mirror with proper ray diagrams
Images formed by spherical mirrors: Rules for drawing a ray diagram :
If an incident ray is parallel to the principal axis then the reflected ray passes through the principal focus.
(2) (i) If an incident ray passes through the principal focus of a concave mirror, the reflected ray is parallel to the principal axis.
(ii) If an incident ray is directed towards the principal focus of a convex mirror, the reflected ray is parallel to the principal axis.
(3) (i) If an incident ray passes through the centre of curvature of a concave mirror, the reflected ray traces the same path back.
(ii) If an incident ray is directed towards the centre of curvature of a convex mirror, the reflected ray traces the same path back.
