🔍 Convex MirrorA Convex Mirror is a spherical mirror with its reflecting surface curved outward. It is also known as a diverging mirror, as it causes parallel rays of light to spread out after reflection, appearing to come from a virtual focal point behind the mirror. 🧪 Key Features:
Shape: Outward curved, spherical surface Material: Glass with silver/aluminum reflective coating Focal Length: Positive (virtual focus) Mounting: Usually provided with a base or frame for easy lab setup Durability: Scratch-resistant, polished surface 📚 Applications:
Used in ray optics experiments to study image formation by curved mirrors Commonly used as rear-view mirrors in vehicles due to wide-angle view Helps demonstrate image characteristics: always virtual, erect, and diminished Suitable for CBSE/ICSE/State board physics practicals |
