    This document discusses different types of mirrors and their properties. It describes plane mirrors which produce virtual, upright images of equal size to the object. Concave mirrors are converging mirrors that can produce real or virtual images depending on the position of the object relative to the focal point. Convex mirrors are diverging and always produce reduced, upright, virtual images. The mirror equation and conventions for sign, position, and type of images are also defined.

    Summary for Concave Mirror
    When object is: Image is:
    • Beyond C • Between C and F

    • At C • At C

    • Between C and F • Beyond C

    • At F • No image

    • Between F and mirror • Virtual image


    Mirror Equation
    1=1+1
    f do di
    Magnification

    M= hi = -di
    ho do
    Sign Convention
    do + object is in front of the mirror

    di + real image, in front of the mirror


    di - virtual image, behind the mirror

    hi + erect image
    hi - inverted image

    f + converging (concave) mirrors


    f - diverging (convex) mirrors
