Principal axis
M F O
Part of CM
M is geometric center (pusat lingkaran)
R is the sphere radius (jari-jari)
A is the center of mirror (pusat cermin)
MA is the principal axis (sumbu utama)
F is the focal point of the mirror (focus)
FA is the focal lengt (jarak focus)
The focal length is half the distance between the
mirror and the center of curvature M.

Real image
Paralel ray of the sun aor other object are
reflected from a concave mirror at the focal
point (F) of mirror
The focal point become bright on the paper, it is
called image of the sun
An image is real image if rays actualy converge
and pass trough the image
A real image can be seen on a piece of paper or
screen.
Virtual image
A virtual image cannot be seen on a piece of
paper or screen because, light rays do noot
converge at virtual image.
Image of plan mirror is example of virtual
image.

Convex Mirror
Characteristic of convex mirror
2. Convex mirror is part of the outer surface of a hollow
sphere
3. Convex mirror product diverge ray
4. Convex mirror does not form real image
5. Convex mirror in daily life is used in car, and its is used
in stores to observe shoppers.
6. Focal point (f) is placed behind mirror (the focal length
is a negative number)

An equation can also be used to located the
image and find its size. The focal length (f) the
distance of the object from the mirror (S0) and
the distance of the image from the mirror (S1) are
related by the mirror equation :
The ratio of the size of the image (hi) to the size
of the object (h0) is called the magnification (m).
The magnification is related to the distances to
the mirror by equation :
