Lab 9: Concave and Convex Mirrors

Lab Purpose:
      Examine and analyze the image that is formed by a convex and concave mirror.

Part 1: Convex Mirrors


      Images appear smaller and upright. The image appears to be further to the mirror than the actual
      object.  Moving the object closer increases the height of the image non linearly and for moving
      objects further from the mirror the image decreases in height non linearly.

Part 2: Concave Mirrors
      

     Images appear larger then object. Image is upright after coming close to the mirror and inverted
     from before that point.Compared to the object, the image seems to be closer to the mirror.  When
     you move the object closer to the mirror the image appears to slightly decrease in size. If you
     move the object significantly far away from the mirror, the image inverts.
