  2. Curved mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curved_mirror

    A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that is recessed inward (away from the incident light). Concave mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point. They are used to focus light. Unlike convex mirrors, concave mirrors show different image types depending on the distance between the object and the mirror.

  3. Real image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_image

    A real image occurs at points where rays actually converge, whereas a virtual image occurs at points that rays appear to be diverging from. Real images can be produced by concave mirrors and converging lenses, only if the object is placed further away from the mirror/lens than the focal point, and this real image is inverted. As the object ...

  4. Convex and Concave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_and_Concave

    Even the image on the flag is of reversible cubes. One can view these features as concave by viewing the image upside-down. All additional elements and decoration on the left are consistent with a viewpoint from above, while those on the right with a viewpoint from below: hiding half the image makes it very easy to switch between convex and ...

  5. Virtual image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_image

    The image in a plane mirror is not magnified (that is, the image is the same size as the object) and appears to be as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. A diverging lens (one that is thicker at the edges than the middle) or a concave mirror forms a virtual image. Such an image is reduced in size when compared to the ...

  6. Plane mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_mirror

    Concave and Convex mirrors (spherical mirrors) [5] are also able to produce images similar to a plane mirror. However, the images formed by them are not of the same size as the object like they are in a plane mirror in all conditions rather specific one . In a convex mirror, the virtual image formed is always diminished, whereas in a concave ...

  8. Distorting mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distorting_mirror

    Boy's image in a distorting mirror. A distorting mirror, funhouse mirror or carnival mirror is a popular attraction at carnivals and fairs. [1] Instead of a normal plane mirror that reflects a perfect mirror image, distorting mirrors are curved mirrors, often using convex and concave sections to achieve the distorted effect. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockney–Falco_thesis

    In July 2000, Falco and Hockney published "Optical Insights into Renaissance Art" in Optics & Photonics News, vol. 11, a detailed analysis of the likely use of concave mirrors in certain Renaissance paintings, particularly the Lotto painting. Experiments with a concave mirror (which technically is also a lens) of the calculated properties ...
