we will place the object between infinity and pole and draw the diagram of image formation by convex mirror by following rule for making ray diagram by spherical mirror.
Image formation by convex mirror
Steps to draw to ray diagram
1. Draw
the diagram of a convex mirror
2. Place
the object at the given position
3. Follow
the rules for making a ray diagram
Draw the diagram of convex mirror
Place the object in the given position
We will place the object between infinity and the pole at any place in front of the convex mirror.
Follow the rules for making a ray diagram
A light ray from point ‘A’ of the object incident
parallel to the principal axis on the convex mirror.
The second light ray from the same point (A) incidents
on the mirror in the direction of point C behind the mirror.
The parallel ray diverges in such a direction that
appears coming from the focus point F.
The second ray returns back in the same path. (see the
rules)
Both the rays seem to meet behind the convex mirror
between F and P.
