Curved Mirrors Text Reference: 11.9 p. 496 Learning Goal 1. Use an inquiry process to investigate the laws of reflection using curved mirrors, and draw ray diagrams to summarize their findings. 2. Describe the characteristics and positions of images formed by curved mirrors (SALT)with the aid of ray diagrams. Terminology of Curved Mirrors ConCAVE Mirror: reflective surface on the INSIDE of a sphere PA: Principal Axis C: Centre of Curvature F: Focal Point V: Vertex Terminology of Curved Mirrors ConVEX Mirror: reflective surface on the OUTSIDE of a sphere PA: Principal Axis C: Centre of Curvature F: Focal Point V: Vertex Investigation Part 1 How does light reflect off of a CONCAVE mirror? How do light rays reflect off a CONVEX mirror? Using the equipment provided, observe and sketch the behaviour of 3 parallel rays as they reflect of a CONCAVE and a CONVEX mirror.
