ANALYSIS:

As per in table 3, this showed the resolution of the focal lengths and radius of two types of mirrors which

are the concave and convex mirrors. Based on the obtained data, convex mirrors have much smaller focal length

compared to concave mirrors. Also, it can be observed that the values between the experimental value of the radius

of the curvature and its actual value contain small significant difference. This resulted to a percentage error of less

than 5%. Hence, our results obey with theory.

In table 6, the goal is to define the focal length wherein the object distance is equal to the image distance.

Here, the image formed here is virtual, enlarged, and upright between the focus, F and the mirror. Based on the

gathered results, in all trials, the image distance is equal to the object distance, as well as the calculated focal

length. From that, there is no significant difference between the calculated focal length and the actual focal length.

This resulted to a 0% percentage difference wherein we can say that the results obtained are in line to the theory.
CONCLUSION:

From the data obtained in table 3, we observed that the focal length of a concave mirror has larger value

compared to that of a convex mirror. Hence, we can conclude that concave mirrors have larger focal lengths than

convex mirrors. Also, the radius of curvature of a concave mirror is larger compared to a convex mirror. This is

because, based on the orientation of a concave is bulging away from the light source whereas its light rays

intersects at the focal point, thus they are converging. On the other hand, convex mirrors bulges facing the light

source, however, light rays does not intersect at the focal point but reflects outward and diverges. From this, the

image formed by a convex mirror is virtual, diminished in size, and upright while a concave mirror forms an image

that is real, enlarged, and inverted when the object is between the center and the focus while the image is real,

reduced, and inverted when the object is beyond the center.

From the value obtained in table 6, to determine the focal length, get the sum of the inverse values of the

object distance and the image distance and get the inverse value of that sum. Since the object distance is equal to

the image distance, thus, the focal length is half the value of the distances. Because of that, the image formed is

virtual, enlarged, and upright since the image formed is between the focus and the mirror.

Automobiles use convex mirrors as rear view mirrors since the light beams diverges and makes virtual

images. Concave mirrors On the other hand, concave mirrors are used in microscopes to collect light from a lamp,

shining it up onto a slide that contains a specimen so it can be viewed through a magnification lens.
