Plane Mirror Ray Diagram Focal Point. Two mirrors sit at an angle of 120 circ to one another a ray of light is incident at 50 circ on the first mirror. Ray diagrams for curved mirrors 1.
Tip of object through center of curvature reflects back along itself. This image is not real but virtual because the image formed behind the mirror by extending the diverging reflected rays backward. A ray of light falling on a plane mirror is reflected at the same angle as the angle of incidence.
Tip of object to mirror parallel to principal axis reflects through focal point 2.
The easiest way to visualize what a image will look like in this type of mirror is a ray diagram. Tip of object through center of curvature reflects back along itself. One useful tool that is frequently used to depict this idea is known as a ray diagram. Ray diagram uses lines with arrows to represent the incident ray and the reflected ray.
