This is a demonstration of the images formed by a convex mirror as a function of the distance of the object to the mirror, using a large convex mirror and Dr. Edwards as the object.
This demonstration was created at Utah State University by Professor Boyd F. Edwards, assisted by James Coburn (demonstration specialist), David Evans (videography), and Rebecca Whitney (closed captions), with support from Jan Sojka, Physics Department Head, and Robert Wagner, Executive Vice Provost and Dean of Academic and Instructional Services.

It's not boring when you realize that convex mirrors can cover view angles higher than 300°

Yep

Wonder why it's used in shop aisles and sharp corner roads.

you're right Dr. the concave mirror is more interesting. thank you for the video.

Sir I have a question, I don't have a double sided mirror at home. But is the front side of the mirror concave and its opposite side convex? Or is the front side simply a plane mirror while its opposite side is concave?

Yes. One of the sides is a plane/flat mirror whilst the other one is simply a concave mirror.

sir i have a question..if the mirror is farther than C in front of the mirror..What will be the size of the image?

@factbytes1616 4 жыл бұрын

It will be small in size.

Inverted Image which we see on the mirror is real or virtual??

@Gjaiiajna Жыл бұрын

The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual 🙂 🇮🇳

Sir I have a doubt that Focus and Center of Curvature will be inside the mirror then how you kept it outside

Sameer, thanks for posting. I would love to answer your question but I do not understand it. Can you clarify?

@Sameer_18 6 жыл бұрын

Boyd Edwards sir focus of convex mirror will be in the opposite side (inside the mirror) but you have taken focus outside

@boydedwards5475 6 жыл бұрын

Sameer, you are absolutely right. The focal point of a convex mirror is on the far (other) side of the mirror, and my statement about being at the focal point is misleading. It would have been more correct to say that I am a distance from the mirror equal to the focal length (pointing out that the focal point is actually on the other side of the mirror), and to say, when I"m further out, that I am at a distance equal to the radius of curvature. I mentioned these distances to point out the distinct differences between the convex and concave mirrors, with concave mirrors being more interesting because something significant happens at the focal point and the radius of curvature.
