Curved Mirrors

The Curved Mirrors Toolkit provides teachers with standards-based resources for designing lesson plans and units that pertain to such topics as reflection of light by curved mirrors, formation of images by curved mirrors, characteristics of images formed by curved mirrors, and the mathematics associated with the mirror equation and magnification equation. Both concave and convex mirror types are included. The Toolkit is supported by Lessons 3 and 4 of the Reflection and the Ray Model of Light chapter at The Physics Classroom Tutorial.
