Seeing Things in Convex Mirrors
This resource covers the principles of convex mirrors, detailing the characteristics of rays and their behavior when interacting with the mirror surface. It explains how incident rays parallel to the principal axis reflect as if they passed through the focal point, the effects of rays moving toward the focus and center of curvature, and the reflection at the vertex. The notes serve as a comprehensive guide for understanding the fundamentals of image prediction in convex mirrors.

Predicting Images in a Convex Mirror Answers to Analysis Follows.
3) In order to produce a VIRTUAL IMAGE with CONVEX MIRROR, an object must be placed anywhere. 4) In order to produce the LARGEST IMAGE POSSIBLE with CONVEX MIRROR, an object must be placed close to the mirror. 5) In order to produce an IMAGE SMALLER THAN THE OBJECT with CONVEX MIRROR, an object must be placed anywhere. 6) If the OBJECT IS MOVED far away from a CONVEX MIRROR, the image will move close to the Focus.
