Silvering on the interior surface
- A spherical mirror is formed by cutting out a piece of a sphere and silvering either the inside or outside surface. A concave mirror has silvering on the interior surface (think “cave”), and a convex mirror has silvering on the exterior surface.

Curved Mirrors. We can define two general types of spherical mirrors. If the reflecting surface is the outer side of the sphere, the mirror is called a convex mirror. If the inside surface is the reflecting surface, it is called a concave mirror.

Spherical Mirrors: This figure shows the difference between a concave and convex mirror. Concave Mirrors In a concave mirror, the principal axis is a line that is perpendicular to the center of the mirror.
A spherical mirror whose inner curved surface is reflecting is called a concave mirror. In the concave mirror, the size of the image depends on the position of the object. Both virtual and real image can be formed by a concave mirror.
A spherical mirror is a mirror that has the shape of a piece cut out of a spherical surface. There are two types of spherical mirrors: concave mirror and convex mirror. In this article, we will be studying the spherical mirror structure and its different types in detail.

- Image Formation by Plane Mirror. The "object" could be any physical object or a source of light, but we often depict it as an upright arrow.
- Concave Mirror. The distance from the focal point to the mirror is called the focal length, f. We will not go into the details of the proof, but it can be shown using the small angle approximation that the focal length is equal to half the radius of curvature
- Principal Rays of a Concave Spherical Mirror. Using rays to determine the location, orientation, and the size of the image is known as ray tracing.
- Deriving Equations for a Concave Spherical Mirror. Since we are using the small angle approximation (we assume that all distances are close to the optical axis), the mirror can be approximated as flat where light is reflected, as shown by the bold vertical line.
A concave mirror has silvering on the interior surface (think “cave”), and a convex mirror has silvering on the exterior surface. Consider rays that are parallel to the optical axis of a parabolic mirror, as shown in part (a) of Figure 2.6.
In this article, we will explore two specific types of spherical mirrors: convex mirrors and concave mirrors. We will also delve into the concept of ray diagrams, which help us understand how light behaves when it interacts with these mirrors.
