Convex Mirror

Convex Mirror | Optical Demonstration Mirror for Physics Laboratories

The Convex Mirror by ELMO Agencies is a high-quality optical teaching aid designed for demonstrating image formation, reflection of light, and mirror characteristics in physics laboratories. Featuring an outwardly curved reflective surface, the convex mirror produces virtual, erect, and diminished images while providing a wider field of view than a plane mirror.

Widely used in schools, colleges, STEM laboratories, and science learning centres, this mirror helps students understand fundamental optics concepts through practical experimentation and observation.

As a trusted scientific manufacturer in Ambala, ELMO Agencies supplies durable and precision-crafted educational equipment for science education and laboratory use.

What Is a Convex Mirror?

A Convex Mirror is a spherical mirror whose reflecting surface bulges outward toward the light source. Because of its curved shape, reflected light rays diverge after striking the mirror, creating a virtual, upright, and reduced image of the object.

Convex mirrors are often referred to as wide-angle mirrors because they provide a broader field of view compared to other types of mirrors.

Working Principle of a Convex Mirror

The Convex Mirror works on the principle of reflection of light.

When light rays strike the outward curved surface:

• The rays reflect outward and diverge.
• The reflected rays appear to originate from a point behind the mirror.
• A virtual, erect, and diminished image is formed.

This property allows the mirror to display a larger area, making it useful in both educational experiments and practical applications.
