Images in a convex mirror

Principle

The students' unsuccessful attempts at capturing images formed by a convex mirror make this experiment especially interesting and motivating when they have no or only uncertain knowledge of image formation at a convex mirror.
However, this experiment is also highly recommended to confirm or test the students' theoretical knowledge. Even in this situation, many students will attempt to intercept the mirror image against their better judgement.

Benefits

• Multifunctional light box - All-in-one: Can be used for geometric optics on the table, colour mixing and on an optical bench
• Extension with others sets at anytime, no additional light sources needed, recognition value for students

Tasks

What properties do images formed by a convex mirror have? Determine the properties of the images formed by convex mirror for different object distances.
