Shortcut Methods
4 : Ray Diagram Shortcuts
- Learn to draw simplified ray diagrams for common scenarios:
- For concave mirrors:
- Ray parallel to the principal axis reflects through the focus.
- Ray passing through the focus reflects parallel to the principal axis.
- For convex mirrors, the ray parallel to the principal axis appears to come from the focus behind the mirror.
- For concave mirrors:
- These shortcuts help visualize image formation without drawing full diagrams.
