Where will the image form when you place an object on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a point between focus and centre of curvature?
If the object is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a point between the focus and centre of curvature the image will form beyond the centre of curvature
What is the center of curvature of the mirror?
The center of curvature of a mirror is the point located at a distance equal to the radius of curvature from the mirror's vertex. It is the center of the sphere of which the mirror forms a part. Light rays that are reflected from the mirror and pass through this point are either parallel to the principal axis (for concave mirrors) or appear to diverge from this point (for convex mirrors).
What is definition for the centre of curvature of a spherical mirror?
The center of curvature of a spherical mirror is the point at the center of the sphere from which the mirror is a part. It is located at a distance equal to the radius of the sphere. The center of curvature is an important point for determining the focal length and the magnification of the mirror.
How will a ray directed towards the centre of curvature of a convex mirror be reflected?
A ray directed towards the centre of curvature of a convex mirror will reflect back on itself along the same path. This is because the centre of curvature is located on the normal line, so the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection will be equal due to the principle of reflection.
Why light ray retrace its path when passes through center of curvature of a concave mirror?
Because the center of curvature is defined to be in the direction of the normal. remember that a reflecting angle of light, relative to the normal, equals minus the angle of the beam that hit the mirror, relative to the normal. since the center of curviture is in the direction of the normal. A beam going through it would be with an angle of zero, and there for return with an angel of (minus) zero. In other words it comes back in the same direction.
What is the difference between the measure of an arc and arc length?
They are normally the same. However, the measure of the arc could refer to the angle subtended at the centre of the radius of curvature.
What is the ratio of focal length of a spherical mirror to its radius curvature?
The focal point of a convex mirror lies on the same side as the centre of curvature and is at a distance of half the radius of curvature from the optical centre.
Is the radius In math?
It is the distance, from any point on a curve, to the centre of curvature at that point.
What is mathimatical radious?
In mathematics, the radius of an arc is a straight line from the centre of curvature of the arc to the arc. In the case of a circle it is the line from the circle's centre to its circumference.
Where will the image form when you place an object on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a point between focus and centre of curvature?
If the object is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror at a point between the focus and centre of curvature the image will form beyond the centre of curvature
What is definition of centre of curvature of lens?
define the term centre of curvature
What is center of gravity of circle of radius r?
It is the centre of the circle. The size of the radius makes no difference.
What is the center of curvature of the mirror?
The center of curvature of a mirror is the point located at a distance equal to the radius of curvature from the mirror's vertex. It is the center of the sphere of which the mirror forms a part. Light rays that are reflected from the mirror and pass through this point are either parallel to the principal axis (for concave mirrors) or appear to diverge from this point (for convex mirrors).
What is mean by centre of curvature?
This means the vented of a circle. It is the radius of the circle that is perpendicular to a line tangent to any point on the concave side of a smooth curve.
How do you find the radius?
Either.... Halve the diameter; or Divide the circumference by 2pi; or Calculate the difference between the location fo the centre and the location of a point on the circumference.
What is geometric mean radius?
The radius is the distance between the centre of a circular arc and a point on the arc.
What is the distance between the centre and a point on the circle?
The length of the radius.
