Ray Diagram: Images Formed in A Curved Mirror Can Be Located and Described Through Ray Diagramming

Ray diagrams can be used to locate and describe images formed by curved mirrors. The process involves drawing four principal rays from an object - the first ray (P-F ray), second ray (F-P ray), third ray (C-C ray), and fourth (V ray) - and determining where they intersect after reflecting off the mirror, which indicates the location of the image. Both convex and concave mirrors can be analyzed using this technique, with convex mirrors producing virtual upright images behind the mirror. Students were instructed to complete a quiz constructing multiple ray diagrams to analyze the type, orientation, size and location of images formed by different curved mirrors.

Images formed in a curved

RAY DIAGRAM
mirror can be located and
described through ray
diagramming.
OBJECTIVE:
Predict or construct ray diagrams to
determine the location, orientation,
size, and type of images formed by
curved mirrors.
VIDEO PRESENTATION: RAY DIAGRAM
FOUR PRINCIPAL RAYS
RAY DIAGRAMMING STEPS:
USING “FOUR PRINCIPAL RAYS”
From the object, draw the first ray (P – F ray). From
the same point on the object, draw the second (F – P
ray), third (C – C ray), and fourth (V ray) rays.
 The intersection of the four rays is the image point
corresponding to the object point.
 For a convex mirror, light rays diverge after reflection
and converge from a point that seems to be behind the
mirror (virtual focus); but the procedure for locating
images is the same as for concave mirror.
