Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for calculations and draw clear ray diagrams where requested.
1. Which of the following describes the image formed by a convex mirror?
Real, inverted, and magnified
Virtual, upright, and magnified
Real, upright, and diminished
Virtual, upright, and diminished
2. The focal length of a convex mirror is always:
Positive
Negative
Zero
Depends on the object distance
3. Convex mirrors are also known as mirrors because they spread out incident light rays.
4. The principal focus of a convex mirror is located the mirror.
5. Draw a ray diagram for an object placed in front of a convex mirror. Clearly label the object, image, principal axis, focal point (F), and center of curvature (C). Describe the characteristics of the image formed.
6. Convex mirrors are commonly used as shaving mirrors.
True
False
7. The image formed by a convex mirror is always smaller than the object.
True
False
8. Explain why convex mirrors are preferred as rearview mirrors in vehicles.
9. A convex mirror has a focal length of 15 cm. An object is placed 10 cm in front of the mirror. Calculate the image distance and magnification. State the nature of the image formed.
