Concave Mirrors Practice

Name: ______________________________________

Date: __________________________________

Draw ray diagrams to determine the SALT (size, attitude, location, type) characteristics for the images that will be created in the concave mirrors below. If no image is formed, write “NO IMAGE”. If both the object AND image are inverted, technically the image is upright. Remember, always use a RULER when drawing ray diagrams!! 1.

7. True or False: Determine if the following statements about images in concave mirrors are True (T) or False (F): a) ____

Images formed by concave mirrors are always virtual.

b) ____

The centre of curvature is located at half the focal length.

c) ____

According to the Laws of Reflection, the reflected ray is equal to the incident (incoming) ray.

d) ____

A ray aimed parallel to the principal axis is reflected back onto itself in concave mirrors.

e) ____

The “A” in SALT stands for angle.

f) ____

Concave mirrors are also known as “diverging” mirrors.

g) ____

The inside of a spoon bulges inward, therefore acting like a concave mirror.

h) ____

Objects that are very close to a concave mirror produce images that are formed behind the mirror.

8. Why do you need to draw at least two incident rays from an object to determine whether or not an image is formed and its characteristics? _________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________...
