What to Focus On
- Light travels in straight lines in uniform media
- Reflection occurs when light bounces off surfaces
- Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
- Concave mirrors curve inward and converge light rays
- Convex mirrors curve outward and diverge light rays
- Pole (P), Center of curvature (C), and Focus (F) are key points
- Image characteristics depend on object position relative to mirror
- Concave mirrors can form both real and virtual images
- Convex mirrors always form virtual, erect, diminished images
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The mirror formula 1/f = 1/u + 1/v can be used without considering sign conventions
Convex mirrors can form real images under certain conditions
When light passes through a glass slab, it bends towards the normal at both surfaces
Memory Tips
Laws of Reflection
Mirror Formula 1/v + 1/u = 1/f
