Convex mirrors with focal lengths FL10, FL15, and FL20 are precision optical components designed with an outward-curved reflective surface, enabling them to diverge incident light rays and form virtual, diminished, and upright images. These mirrors are commonly used in scientific, industrial, and educational settings for studying image formation and light behavior.
Key Features:
- Focal Lengths:
- FL10: Focal length of 10 cm
- FL15: Focal length of 15 cm
- FL20: Focal length of 20 cm
These different focal lengths provide varied degrees of image curvature and field of view, suited to diverse experimental requirements.
- Surface Type: Spherical convex surface, silvered or aluminized on the back for high reflectivity.
- Material: Made from optically ground glass or high-grade acrylic with a protective coating to ensure durability and clarity.
- Mounting Compatibility: Typically designed with a base or rim that allows secure mounting on stands or holders for laboratory demonstrations and experiments.
- Image Characteristics: Always produce virtual, erect, and reduced images irrespective of object distance, making them ideal for field-of-view experiments and visual demonstrations.
Applications:
- Demonstration and analysis of image formation by curved mirrors in physics education.
- Experiments related to reflection, focal length determination, and mirror equations.
- Utilized in optical devices and safety equipment for wide-angle viewing.
- Common in optics kits and school laboratory setups.
These convex mirrors (FL10, FL15, FL20) are essential optical tools that offer versatility, precision, and reliability for classroom instruction, optical research, and practical experiments in reflection and mirror behavior.
