The three principal rays for converging (concave) mirrors: 1. Any incident ray parallel to the principal axis is reflected through the focal point (which is located at ½ R where R is the distance from the mirrors center (or vertex) to the center of curvature C. 2. Any incident ray which passes through the focal point is reflected parallel to the principal axis. 3. Any incident ray which passes through the mirror’s center of curvature C (i.e. along the radius) is reflected back upon itself. The three principal rays for diverging (convex) mirrors: 1. Any incident ray parallel to the principal axis is reflected as if it came from the focal point (which is located at ½ R behind the mirror’s surface where R is the distance from the mirror’s center (or vertex) to the center of curvature C. 2. Any incident ray which is directed towards the focal point is reflected parallel to the principal axis. 3. Any incident ray directed towards the mirror’s center of curvature C (i.e. along the radius) is reflected back upon itself. Drawing ray diagrams:

Finish the ray diagrams (Show your work) for the following concave and convex mirror setups using the rules for diagramming as given above. Do this for

a) an object located between C and F

b) an object located beyond C

c) an object located between V and F
