An object O is placed at the location shown in front of a concavespherical mirror. Use ray tracing to determine the location andsize of the reflected image. As you work, keep in mind thefollowing properties of principal rays:
A ray parallel to the axis, after reflection, passes through thefocal point F of a concave mirror or appears to come from the(virtual) focal point of a convex mirror.
A ray through (or proceeding toward) the focal point F is reflectedparallel to the axis.
A ray along the radius through or away from the center of curvatureC intersects the surface normally and is reflected back along itsoriginal path.
A ray to the vertex V is reflected, forming equal angles with theoptic axis.
