Ray diagrams are useful tools for determining the location of an image as produced by a concave mirror. All concave and convex mirror ray diagrams can be constructed from knowledge of the behavior of two rays. Learn here about ray diagrams.

Ray diagrams are useful tools for determining the location of an image as produced by a concave mirror. Of all the rays which emanate from the top of the object arrow and are incident to the mirror, there are two rays whose behavior at...

Explore the effect of concave and convex mirrors. Combine concave and convex mirrors to design a fun house mirror that will create the distorted pictures of Melissa and Sam.

Florida State University offers an interactive Java applet demonstrating the object-image relationships for a concave mirror. The position of the object can be dragged along the principal axis and the location, orientation, and size of...

A four-lesson tutorial on the reflection and the ray model of light. These complete tutorials include informational text, interactive activities, animations, and quick, interactive comprehension questions.

This calculus tutorial with curved mirrors includes narrative and video presentations as well as other interactive tools.

Included here are illustrations of reflections from a plane mirror, a concave mirror and a convex mirror.

A simple activity to investigate how light reflects off a flat surface, a convex one, and a concave one. With a link to an article on reflection.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart introduces fifth graders to the science of light. Principles such as transparent, translucent, opaque, reflection, and refraction are covered. Concave and convex mirrors and lenses are...
