Mirror formula and magnification
Learn how incident light rays parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror will be reflected toward a common location. Incident light rays parallel to the principal axis of a convex mirror will be reflected such that they appear to have originated from a common location behind the mirror. Use ray diagrams to determine the location, type, size, and orientation of images formed by mirrors.
