Mirror Equation Analysis and Problems

This document provides information about using the mirror equation to describe images formed by curved mirrors. It defines key terms like focal length, radius of curvature, orientation, size, location, and type of image. It also provides a table to help determine these characteristics for concave and convex mirrors. There are then three example problems to solve using the mirror equation.

Week 7 Task: Mirror Equation

Name: _____________________________________ Section: ___________ Date: _________

I. Describe the images formed by curved mirrors using mirror equation.


LOCATION Look at the value of focal In front of the mirror (+) Behind the mirror (-)
FORMULA BOX length and radius of
