4. CONCAVE MIRROR
A concave mirror is that spherical mirror in
which the reflection of light takes place at
the concave surface

5. PARTS OF CONCAVE MIRROR
Centre of curvature (C)
Radius of curvature (R)
Pole (P)
Principal Axis
Principal Focus (F)

6. RULES FOR OBTAINING IMAGES FORMED
BY A CONCAVE MIRROR
RULE -1
A ray of light which
is parallel to the
principal axis of a
concave mirror ,
passes trough its
focus after reflection
from the mirror

7. Rule 2
A ray of light passing
trough the centre of
curvature of a
concave mirror is
reflected back along
the same path

8. Rule 3
A ray of light passing
trough the focus of a
concave mirror
becomes parallel to
the principal axis after
reflection

9. FORMATION OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF
IMAGES BY A CONCAVE MIRROR
Positions of the object :
between the pole (P) and focus (F)
At the focus (F)
between focus (F) and centre of curvature (C)
At the centre of curvature (C)
beyond the centre of curvature (C)
At infinity

10. WHEN THE OBJECT IS PLACE BETWEEN
POLEAND FOCUS OF THE MIRROR
(OBJECT BETWEEN P AND F)
NATURE OF IMAGE
behind the mirror
Virtual and errect
larger than the
object

11. WHEN THE OBJECT IS PLACED AT FOCUS OF
A CONCAVE MIRROR (OBJECT AT F)
NATURE OF IMAGE
at infinity
real and inverted
highly magnified
or enlarged

12. WHEN THE OBJECT IS PLACED BETWEEN
FOCUS AND CENTRE OF CURVATURE
(OBJECT BETWEEN F AND C)
NATURE OF IMAGE
beyond the centre of
curvature
real and inverted
larger than the object

13. WHEN THE OBJECT IS PLACED AT THE
CENTRE OF CURVATURE OF ACONCAVE
MIRROR (OBJECT AT C)
NATURE OF IMAGE
at the centre of
curvature
real and inverted
same size as the
object

14. WHEN THE OBJECT IS BEYOND THE CENTRE
OF CURVATURE OF A CONCAVE MIRROR
(OBJECT BEYOND C)
NATURE OF IMAGE
between the focus
and centre of
curvature
real and inverted
smaller than the
object

15. WHEN THE OBJECT IS AT INFINITY
NATURE OF IMAGE
at the focus
real and inverted
much smaller than
the object (or highly
diminished)

16. USES OF CONCAVE MIRRORS
Concave mirrors are used -
As reflectors in car head-
lights ,search lights ,hand
torches ,and table lamps.
By doctors to concentrate
light on body parts like
ears and eyes.
In the field of solar
energy to focus sun-
rays on the objects to be
heated.
As shaving mirrors.
