ANALYSIS:

1)

In convex mirror, light rays diverge after


reflection. Thus, it makes the real light rays not
to meet and extension of the light rays behind
the mirror is called virtual light rays will
intersect. The intersection of those rays called
virtual image. Convex mirrors produce image
behind of the mirror and its focal point is
located at the back of the mirror. Hence, it
produces only virtual image.

2)

Yes, there will be a real image produce on a


double convex mirror. In order to produce a
real image, distance of the object is totally
observed. Then, the object must be located
beyond the center point, exactly at center or
located between the center point and the focal
point (F) only and thats only the case were
inverted image form. If the object is place on
the Focal point, there would be no image to
project and if it is placed in front of F a virtual
image form.

3)

A concave mirror produces a virtual image


when the object is placed between the focus
and the pole of the mirror. Describing the
image, the size of the original image appears
bigger or larger on the virtual image and
changes in size depends on how far the image

from the focal point. Object nearer to the focal


point reflects bigger image.
4)

The 4th of the experiment yielded the


largest error since it takes time to sharpen the
image and the distance varies and changes
inaccurately when the object distance
changes. We could not determine the actual
point since our results is inconsistent.
CONCLUSION/APPLICATIONS:

1)
First law of reflection states''Incident
ray, reflected ray and Normal to the surface lie
in the same plane." "Angle of incident ray is
equal to the angle of reflection ray". Example
for this is pointing a laser on a mirror. Pointing
the laser directly towards the mirror, a single
red dot will appear since the reflected light ray
coincide with incident light ray and as you
rotate the laser direction to the mirror, the
reflection direction changes as well and two red
dots will appear one on the mirror and the
other on the incident reflection.
2)
Convex mirrors used in surveillance
since convex mirrors make objects to appear
smaller which allows to increase in distance
estimate, the field of view and spacing

estimations and it also reduces safety margins


in a smaller space. The disadvantage of convex
mirrors is distorted shape of on its reflected
images due to its convex shape and reduced in
size. Moreover, there would be a difficulty in
determining the actual placement of an object.
3)
Virtual object is an object image that
looks like the same but it would never be real.
A virtual object is form when virtual rays
intersect behind of the mirror. Hence, when the
object is produce behind the mirror it is called
the virtual image/object. Another thing, virtual
object is formed when the outgoing rays from a
point to an object always diverge.
4)
In a convex mirror, the mirror is bulges
outside at the center and my reflection was
upright and smaller than the normal. In a
concave mirror, the mirror is bows at the
center and my reflected image was inverted
and larger than the usual. In a plane mirror,
my image appeared to be shifted from left to
right.
