Concave Mirror Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-LAO-11236
A concave mirror has an inward-curved reflecting surface that causes parallel incident rays to converge towards a principal focus. It can form real or virtual images depending on the distance between the object and the mirror, making it suitable for practical study of spherical-mirror behaviour.
Students can use the mirror with an object, screen and measuring arrangement to investigate image position, orientation and magnification. The mirror substrate, reflective coating, focal length, radius of curvature, optical tolerance and mounting design are not specified. These parameters should be confirmed before ordering for a prescribed experiment or tender.
Key Features
Two diameter options: Available in nominal 50 mm and 75 mm sizes for compatible optics setups.
Converging reflective surface: Directs suitable parallel rays towards a principal focus.
Supports image-formation experiments: Demonstrates both real and virtual images at different object positions.
Useful for focal-length study: Can support focal-length determination with compatible apparatus.
Demonstrates magnification: Shows how image size changes as the object moves relative to the focus.
Supports ray-diagram learning: Connects principal-ray diagrams with observable optical behaviour.
Reusable optical component: Suitable for repeated practical sessions when handled and stored correctly.

A mirror holder, optical bench, illuminated object, screen, ray source and measuring scale are not confirmed as included.
Applications / Uses
Demonstrating convergence of reflected light rays
Locating the principal focus of a concave mirror
Studying real and virtual image formation
Determining focal length with a compatible setup
Comparing image size at different object distances
Verifying the spherical-mirror formula
Explaining reflector applications in optical devices
How to Use the Concave Mirror
Mount the mirror vertically in a compatible holder.
Align the object, mirror and screen along the same principal axis.
Place the object beyond the estimated focal point.
Move the screen until a sharp real image is obtained.
Measure the object distance and image distance from the mirror pole.
Repeat the experiment at several object positions.
Record the image orientation, size and calculated focal length.
Safety note: Never use the mirror to focus sunlight towards the eyes, skin or combustible material. Concentrated light can cause eye injury, burns or fire.
Care & Maintenance
Handle the mirror by its edges to minimise fingerprints.
Clean the reflecting surface with a soft optical cloth.
Store the mirror in a dry, padded compartment.
Do not place the reflecting surface directly on a hard bench.

The required diameter, focal length, reflective coating and mounting arrangement should be confirmed in the commercial quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a concave mirror used for in a physics laboratory?
A concave mirror is used to demonstrate converging reflection, focal length, magnification and image formation. It can form either a real or virtual image depending on the object position.
Which concave mirror sizes are available?
The available nominal diameter options are 50 mm and 75 mm. The selected size should match the holder and experimental arrangement.
What type of image does a concave mirror form?
It can form a real, inverted image when the object is beyond the focal point. When the object is between the mirror and focus, it forms a virtual, upright and magnified image.
What is the focal length of the mirror?
The focal length and radius of curvature are not specified. Buyers requiring particular optical values should state them in the enquiry.
Is a mirror holder included?
A mirror holder is not confirmed as included. Request a component-wise quotation when a complete optics setup is required.
Can a concave mirror form an image on a screen?
Yes. A real image formed when the object is beyond the focal point can be projected onto a screen. A virtual image cannot be projected directly.
