How does the shape of the mirrors change the angle of incident and reflection?
A flat mirror will reflect light directly back, the ray of incident and the ray of relfection are the same line. A concave and convex mirror will do the same IF the light is shone directly at the center of the mirror. If the light is shone toward the top of the convex mirror, then the reflected ray will diverge reflect above the incident ray. If the light is shone toward the top of a concave mirror, the reflected ray will reflect down or below the incident ray. • Describe the difference between convergent and divergent light rays (photons) Convergent rays are formed when a concave mirror is used. The rays hit the mirror and get closer together. They meet at a point that changes if the distance between the rays change. Divergent rays are rays formed when a convex mirror is used. This time when the rays hit the mirror, they go apart from each other. The angle of the reflected ray increases as the rays get closer to the top of the convex mirror. • Describe how the curvature of a mirror ef
