Reflection and Spherical Mirrors

a mirror with a surface that curves inward like the inside of a bowl

• concave mirror
• convex mirror
• plane mirror
• flat mirror

Convex Mirrors produce...

• only virtual images
• virtual or real images
• only real images
• inverted images

Real images are :

• Always inverted
• Magnified or Diminished
• can be obtained on screen
• all the above

Virtual Images are

• Always erect
• can be obtained on screen
• magnified or diminished
• all the above

convex mirrors are

• plane mirrors
• converging mirrors
• diverging mirrors
• smaller than concave mirrors

A dentist uses a small dental mirror to help magnify teeth in your mouth. What type of mirror is this?

The line that passes through the center of a curved mirror is called

• focal point
• center of curvature 
• principle axis
• light ray

An object is situated between a concave mirror's surface and its focal point. The image formed in this case is

• real and inverted.
• real and erect.
• virtual and erect.
• virtual and inverted
