A convex mirror produces a virtual image, because the principle light rays incident on the mirror surface from the object must pass through the focal point on the other side of the mirror (virtually), and so the image appears at a depth behind the mirror's surface. The three principle rays that form the focused image are:
1. The ray from the top of the object, parallel to the line passing through the center of the convex mirror, must pass through the focal point behind the mirror's surface.
2. The ray that passes from the top of the object and through the focal point in front of the mirror, comes through the mirror (virtually) parallel to the center line.
3. The ray that passes from the top of the object to the point where the surface of the mirror and the center line intersect, the reflection of which is traced back through the mirror's surface at the same angle as the reflected angle.
The place behind the mirror where these rays intersect is the placement of the virtual image.

What type of diagram shows how a convex lens refracts light?
You can look at this website: http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/Phys/Class/refln/u13l4c.html. The images at the top of the page show the rays different positions on convex mirrors.
What are 5 uses of a concave lens?
The convex lenses can be used in magnifying glasses. They are thicker in the center than in the edges. They are also used in the glasses of those affected with farsightedness. The shape of the lenses used for our eyes is also convex so as to allow it to fit snugly into the eye in shape.
What is the meaning of fucos in science?
You may mean: 1. focus, the place where the rays from a lens or mirror all cross at a point; the place where an image appears sharp; 2. fucose, a type of de-oxy sugar involved in cell biology.
Which type of telescope uses concave mirrors to increase the size of the image being viewed?
Refracting
What type of image can a convex mirror produce?
A convex mirror can produce a virtual, upright, and diminished image of objects placed in front of it. The image formed is always smaller than the actual object.
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.
What type of image does convex mirror form?
What type of image does a flat mirror form?Virtual image
Which mirror produces an erect diminished virtual image?
A concave mirror when the object is placed between the focal point and the mirror will produce an erect, diminished, and virtual image. This type of mirror is commonly used in makeup mirrors and shaving mirrors.
Which is the properties describes the nature of the image formed by a convex mirror?
The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual, upright, and smaller in size than the object. This type of mirror produces a wider field of view compared to a concave mirror.
Why can convex mirrors form only one type of image?
Convex mirror form only one image(virtual) because it diverges light rays(beam).
What type of image does a plain mirror produce?
real and upright image
Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a convex mirror?
A convex mirror has the same type of curve as the bottom of a spoon - it bulges out. Mirrors reflect.
How can you distinguish between a plane mirror concave mirror and a convex mirror by merely looking at the mirror?
If our image is real and inverted and smaller than the object ,then it is a concave mirror; if the image is virtual and erect and larger than the object,then it is a convex mirror; if the image is of the same size as of the object,it is a plane mirror. that is how we can distinguish or identify which of the given mirrors are what. BUT if the angle is very small you cannot tell Plane is flat, convex it curves outwards and concave it curves inwards.
What type of mirror you should use to obtained diminished and virtual image of an object?
A concave mirror should be used to obtain a diminished and virtual image of an object. This type of mirror can create virtual images that are smaller in size than the object itself.
What type of image is formed in a mirror?
Different mirrors form different types of images. A convex mirror forms smaller, upright, and virtual images. They are also located behind the mirror.
Which type of mirror can produce a real image?
Concave mirrors can produce real images when the object is placed beyond the focal point of the mirror. This type of mirror converges light rays to a point, creating a real image that can be projected onto a screen.
