" LAW OF RAY DIAGRAM ( CONVEX MIRROR) " #shorts #education #physics #AnalyticalPhysicsPathshala FOR CONCAVE MIRROR:—    • "LAW OF RAY DIAGRAM ( CONCAVE MIRROR )" #s...   Convex Mirror: A spherical mirror with a reflective surface that bulges outwards, causing parallel rays to diverge. Ray Diagram: A graphical method used to determine the characteristics (position, nature, size) of an image formed by a mirror or lens. Laws of Reflection: The principles governing how light bounces off a surface; crucial for drawing accurate ray diagrams. Principal Axis: The imaginary line passing through the pole, focal point, and center of curvature of a spherical mirror. Focal Point (F): For a convex mirror, the point on the principal axis from which parallel rays appear to diverge after reflection. It's virtual and located behind the mirror. Center of Curvature (C): The center of the sphere from which the mirror is a part. For a convex mirror, it's located behind the mirror. Pole (P): The geometric center of the spherical mirror's surface. Virtual Image: An image formed by light rays that only appear to intersect, but do not actually converge. Cannot be projected onto a screen. Diminished Image: An image that is smaller in size than the object. Upright Image: An image that has the same orientation as the object (not inverted). Diverging Mirror: Another name for a convex mirror, due to its property of causing parallel light rays to spread out. Incident Ray: A light ray traveling towards the mirror's surface. Reflected Ray: A light ray bouncing off the mirror's surface according to the laws of reflection. Object (optics): The source of light rays that form an image. Image (optics): The reproduction of an object formed by a mirror or lens. Parallel Ray: An incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis. For a convex mirror, it reflects as if coming from the focal point. Ray through Focus: An incident ray directed towards the focal point. For a convex mirror, it reflects parallel to the principal axis. Ray through Center of Curvature: An incident ray directed towards the center of curvature. For a convex mirror, it reflects back along its original path. Optical Physics: The branch of physics that studies light and its interactions with matter, including mirrors and lenses. Spherical Mirror: A mirror that is a portion of a sphere, either convex or concave. Understanding the laws of ray diagram for a convex mirror is fundamental in optical physics. These diverging mirrors always produce virtual, diminished, and upright images, regardless of the object's position. To construct a ray diagram, trace key incident rays: one parallel to the principal axis (reflects as if from the virtual focal point (F)), another directed towards F (reflects parallel), and a third directed towards the center of curvature (C) (reflects back along itself). The intersection of the reflected rays (or their extensions) forms the image. Mastering these techniques helps visualize how light behaves with spherical mirrors. #ConvexMirror #RayDiagram #Optics #Physics #LightReflection #VirtualImage #DivergingMirror #SphericalMirrors #OpticalPhysics #ScienceEducation #PhysicsConcepts #LightRays #ImageFormation #FocalPoint #CenterOfCurvature #PrincipalAxis #ReflectedRays #IncidentRays #MirrorPhysics #OpticsLessons
