the rules to locate an image in a spherical mirror
Answers
Explanation:
According to the graphical method, the image produced by a convex mirror can always be located by drawing a ray diagram according to four simple rules:
1)An incident ray which is parallel to the principal axis is reflected as if it came from the virtual focus $F$ of the mirror.
2)An incident ray which is directed
towards the virtual focus $F$ of the mirror is reflected parallel to the principal axis.
3)An incident ray which is directed towards the centre of curvature $C$ of the mirror is reflected back along its own path (since it is normally incident on the mirror).
4)An incident ray which strikes the mirror at its vertex $V$ is reflected such that its angle of incidence with respect to the principal axis is equal to its angle of reflection.
