what are the rules of drawing ray diagram of spherical mirror step by step
Answers
Explanation:
Pick a point on the top of the object and draw two incident rays traveling towards the mirror.
Using a straight edge, accurately draw one ray so that it passes exactly through the focal point on the way to the mirror.
Draw the second ray such that it travels exactly parallel to the principal axis.
Answer:
1. Object should always be on left side of the mirror.
2. Draw the type of mirror(convex or concave) correctly and converge or diverge the rays accordingly.
3. Object should be above the principal axis.
4. Parallel incident rays meet at focus after reflection.
5. Rays passing through focus emerge parallel to the principal axis
6. Follow angle i=angle r when ray is passing through pole of mirror.
7. A ray passing through the centre of curvature rebounds.
8. Follow the sign convention while drawing ray diagrams.
