Light: Mirrors and Lenses

Mirrors with curved reflecting surfaces shaped

Mirrors with curved reflecting surfaces shaped like part of a hollow sphere. Concave mirrors curve inward and can form both enlarged and inverted imag

Two fundamental laws

Two fundamental laws: (1) The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, and (2) The incident ray, normal, and reflected ray all lie in the sa

Transparent materials with curved surfaces

Transparent materials with curved surfaces that allow light to pass through. Convex lenses are thicker in the middle and converge light rays. Concave

Different mirrors and lenses form images

Different mirrors and lenses form images with varying characteristics - they can be erect or inverted, enlarged or diminished, depending on the type o

Concave mirrors and convex lenses converge

Concave mirrors and convex lenses converge (bring together) parallel light rays, while convex mirrors and concave lenses diverge (spread apart) parall
