The convex mirror diverges light rays, so if you draw the reflected rays in front of the mirror and continue drawing them at the back of the mirror the virtual light rays (at the back of the mirror) will join. This point is called a Virtual Focus Point.
What else can I help you with?
How do you find the virtual focus in a convex mirror?
since the convex mirror is curved outwards the the focus is behind the mirror
Which spherical mirror has a virtual focus-concave or convex?
A concave mirror has a virtual focus. This is because the rays of light that are incident on a concave mirror are reflected and appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror, creating a virtual focus.
Why does a convex mirror has a virtual principal focus?
A convex mirror has a virtual principal focus because the reflective surface curves outward, causing the light rays to diverge. When these diverging rays are traced back, they appear to converge at a point behind the mirror, creating the virtual image of the focus.
Why can't a convex mirror create a real image?
Because the focal point of the convex mirror will always be at a 'virtual' place. Convex mirrors focus the image at a definite point.
When viewed in a spherical mirror the image of a setting is a virtual image. The image lies 12cm behind the mirror .Is this mirror concave or convex?
The mirror in this case is a convex mirror, as virtual images are formed by convex mirrors.
Which mirror always produce an erect diminished virtual image?
A concave mirror placed between the focus and the pole will always produce an erect, diminished, and virtual image.
What type of image does a convex mirror formed?
A convex mirror forms a virtual, upright, and diminished image of the object placed in front of it. The image is also located behind the mirror.
Can a convex form an image that is enlarged real and upright?
No, a convex mirror can only produce virtual images that are diminished and upright. The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and located behind the mirror.
The image formed by a convex mirror?
The image formed by the convex mirror is virtual, erect and diminished.
Does a convex mirror always produce a virtual image?
Yes, a convex mirror always produces a virtual image. The image is located behind the mirror, and it's smaller than the object being reflected.
How do a concave mirror and convex mirror differ?
A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward (away from the incident light). A convex mirror, fish eye mirror or diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source.
Differentiate concave mirror from the convex mirror?
A concave mirror curves inward and can focus light rays to a single point, called the focal point. It can produce real or virtual images depending on the object's distance from the mirror. On the other hand, a convex mirror curves outward and always produces virtual, upright, and diminished images.
