Concave Mirror - 7.5cm Diameter

The Concave Mirror - 7.5cm Diameter is an essential resource for exploring the principles of light and reflection in science education. Featuring a precisely curved reflective surface, this mirror demonstrates how concave shapes focus light to a single point. Students can investigate image magnification, focal length, and ray tracing in hands-on experiments.

Why this product is beneficial for educational use:

• Demonstrates light reflection, focal points, and image formation.
• Helps visualise abstract physics concepts in a concrete way.
• Encourages experimentation with angles, distances, and mirror properties.
• Supports STEM learning with practical optical investigation.

Classroom ideas:

• Use in ray tracing activities with laser pointers or light rays to identify focal points.
• Compare with convex and plane mirrors to understand image differences.
• Integrate into lessons on telescopes, headlights, and other real-world applications.
• Pair with drawing exercises where students sketch the mirror's image formation.

Specifications:

• Diameter: 7.5cm
• Focal length: 75mm
• Finish: Optically worked with silvered back and protective coating
• Recommended age: Upper primary to secondary students
