Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Refer to your notes and textbook if needed.
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. Convex mirrors are commonly used as rearview mirrors in vehicles because they:
Produce a magnified view of objects.
Form real images that are easy to see.
Have a wider field of view.
Do not distort the image at all.
3. A convex mirror is also known as a mirror because it spreads out parallel rays of light.
4. The focal point of a convex mirror is located the mirror.
5. All images formed by convex mirrors are virtual and upright.
True
False
6. Convex mirrors can produce real images if the object is placed close enough to the mirror.
True
False
7. Draw a ray diagram for an object placed in front of a convex mirror. Indicate the position of the image, its nature (real/virtual), orientation (upright/inverted), and size (magnified/diminished).
8. List two practical applications of convex mirrors, besides rearview mirrors in vehicles, and briefly explain why they are suitable for those applications.
