One of a kind of simulation, Experiment & use in-depth explanations provided for clear concepts. Shows complete ray diagrams for all the positions for both concave & convex mirrors. Move the candle to different positions and a ray diagram automatically generates by itself. This animated physics (optics) software gives in-depth information about wavelenghts of light, refraction and dispersion and is very useful for schools.
Simulation
of spherical mirrors : This e-learning animation software contains
Method of ray diagram construction for concave & convex
mirror
Simulation of both types of mirror
How do we calculate objective and image distance, magnification,
sign convention, focal length etc. (In explanatory notes)
Snapshots
Simulation of convex mirror
Simulation of concave mirror
A look at Mirror simulation interface,
here the object (candle) and mirror are interactive
, you can choose a mirror type and then place candle
anywhere to obtain its image , the ray diagram is drawn
and explanation is provided
Details of the animation/ movie /software
1. What is the nature of the image formed by spherical mirrors?
2. Where is the image formed if object is at a large distance
from the mirror?
3. Can a real image be formed in a convex mirror?
4. Are the images formed in spherical mirrors of the same
size as object?
For the answers to these questions refer the animation software
