1. If an object is outside the focal point, then it produces a(n) real and inverted image.
2. If an object is inside the focal point, then it produces a(n) virtual and upright image.
3. If an object is at the focal point, then no image is formed (rays are parallel and do not converge).
4. The point at which reflected rays that are striking a concave mirror converge is called the focal point.
5. A line that is perpendicular to the center of the mirror is called the principal axis.
6. The distance from the mirror to the focal point along the optical axis is called the focal length.
7. A(n) virtual and upright image occurs if the object is between the focal point and the mirror.
8. A(n) real and inverted image occurs if the object is beyond the focal point.
9. If you placed an object between you and a concave mirror, the reflected image would appear to be larger and upright.
10. If you placed an object outside the focal point, the reflected image would appear to be inverted.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of concave and convex mirrors worksheet.
