Concave Mirror Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-W-12392

The Concave Mirror is a physics laboratory mirror used for demonstrating converging reflection, focal length, real image formation, magnification, and spherical mirror behaviour. It is suitable for schools, colleges, STEM laboratories, physics teachers, and students studying reflection of light, mirror formula, ray diagrams, and geometrical optics.

Product Description

The School Equipments Concave Mirror is intended for practical ray optics demonstrations in school and college physics laboratories. A concave mirror has an inward-curved reflecting surface that can bring parallel rays toward a focus, making it useful for studying focal point, centre of curvature, principal axis, and image formation.

This mirror helps students observe how object position affects image size, orientation, and nature. Depending on the object distance, a concave mirror can form real, inverted images or virtual, upright magnified images. It supports teacher demonstrations, optical bench experiments, and structured practical records.

Key Features

• Concave reflecting surface: Demonstrates inward-curved mirror behaviour in ray optics.
• Converging mirror action: Helps students observe reflected rays meeting near the focus.
• Image formation study: Supports real, virtual, inverted, and magnified image demonstrations.
• Focal length experiments: Useful for locating focus and applying mirror formula concepts.
• Classroom-ready teaching aid: Suitable for school physics labs and STEM optics lessons.
• Compatible with optics setups: Can be used with ray boxes, optical benches, holders, and screens.
• Reusable lab component: Designed for repeated demonstrations when handled and stored correctly.

How to Use the Concave Mirror

1. Place the concave mirror in a suitable mirror holder or optical bench setup.
2. Align the mirror with a light source, object, or distant illuminated object.
3. Position a screen in front of the mirror when forming a real image.
4. Move the screen until a sharp image is obtained.
5. Measure the mirror-to-screen distance to estimate focal length where applicable.
6. Change object distance and observe changes in image size and orientation.
7. Compare the observations with standard concave mirror ray diagrams.

Safety note: Handle the mirror by its edges and do not use cracked optical surfaces. Do not direct bright light or laser beams toward the eyes.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean the reflecting surface with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Store the mirror in a dry case or cabinet to prevent scratches.
• Keep fingerprints, chemicals, and abrasive cleaners away from the mirror surface.
• Do not press heavy objects against the optical face.
