Convex Mirror - 7.5cm Diameter

The 7.5cm Convex Mirror is a high-quality educational mirror ideal for exploring reflection and visual distortion caused by curved surfaces. This outward-bulging mirror reflects light away from a focal point, creating diminished virtual images-perfect for illustrating real-world applications such as vehicle side mirrors. Designed with a silvered back and protective coating, this optically worked mirror is robust and well-suited to repeated classroom handling and investigations.

Educational Benefits:

• Introduces students to the properties and uses of curved mirrors.
• Aids in understanding how image size and orientation change with surface shape.
• Encourages prediction, experimentation, and scientific observation.
• Supports the development of spatial reasoning and optical theory.

Classroom Ideas::

• Investigate how convex mirrors affect perception of distance and object size.
• Create diagrams to trace incident and reflected rays from curved surfaces.
• Conduct comparative studies with concave mirrors and lenses.
• Simulate real-world applications like vehicle mirrors and security optics.
