Document Summary

Ray of light single beam of light; travels in straight line until it strikes an obstacle. If ray strikes mirror reflection occurs. The incident ray, reflected ray and normal are all. Angle of incidence = angle of reflection . This is true for circular mirror as well in the same plane. Characteristics of image formed by an object placed in front of a plane mirror: Is upright, virtual, has same size as object. Do (distance from object to mirror) = di (distance from image to mirror) Virtual image formed behind the mirror. Focal point point where rays parallel and very close to principal axis all pass through after reflecting from mirror. When parallel rays are incident on a concave mirror reflect and focus at the focal point. Image outside focal = real and inverted magnification depends on position of object. If it"s placed on point c same size. If it"s outside of point c (center of curvature) smaller in size.
