Convex Mirror Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-LAO-11237
A convex mirror has an outward-curved reflecting surface that causes parallel incident rays to diverge after reflection. The reflected rays appear to originate from a virtual focus behind the mirror, allowing students to study the behaviour of a diverging spherical mirror.
The mirror consistently forms a virtual, upright and diminished image of a real object placed in front of it. This makes it useful for explaining why convex mirrors provide a wider field of view. The mirror substrate, reflective coating, focal length, radius of curvature and optical tolerance are not specified and should be confirmed before ordering.
Key Features
Two diameter options: Available in nominal 50 mm and 75 mm sizes for compatible laboratory arrangements.
Diverging reflective surface: Spreads parallel incident rays after reflection.
Demonstrates virtual images: Produces an upright and diminished image behind the reflecting surface.
Wide field-of-view concept: Helps explain the use of convex mirrors in observation and surveillance applications.
Supports ray-diagram teaching: Connects theoretical principal-ray diagrams with practical observation.
No electrical supply required: Operates as a passive optical component.
Reusable teaching aid: Suitable for repeated classroom activities when handled and stored correctly.

Applications / Uses
Demonstrating divergence of reflected light rays
Studying virtual, upright and diminished image formation
Locating the virtual focus by ray construction
Comparing convex and concave mirror behaviour
Explaining the wider field of view of convex mirrors
Supporting spherical-mirror and geometrical-optics lessons
Introducing vehicle, security and observation-mirror applications
How to Use the Convex Mirror
Mount the mirror vertically in a compatible mirror holder.
Place a visible object in front of the reflecting surface.
Observe the image while changing the distance between the object and mirror.
Record the image orientation, apparent position and relative size.
Direct narrow light rays towards the mirror for a ray-reflection activity, where suitable.
Trace the reflected rays and extend them backwards on a diagram.
Identify the apparent virtual focus behind the mirror.
Safety note: Do not use intense, concentrated or laser light without suitable controls. Handle the mirror by its edges and discontinue use if the surface or edge is cracked.
Care & Maintenance
Clean the reflecting surface with a soft optical cloth.
Handle the mirror by its edge to reduce fingerprints.
Store it in a dry, padded compartment after use.
Do not place the reflecting surface directly on a hard bench.
Why Choose Lab Exports
Lab Exports manufactures and exports scientific instruments, physics experiment apparatus, educational models, science kits and STEM laboratory products.

The required diameter, focal length, coating and mounting arrangement should be confirmed in the commercial quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a convex mirror used for in a physics laboratory?
A convex mirror is used to demonstrate diverging reflection, virtual image formation and a wide field of view. It also supports lessons on spherical mirrors and ray diagrams.
Which convex mirror sizes are available?
The available product options are 50 mm and 75 mm in diameter. The selected size should match the holder and experiment arrangement.
What type of image does a convex mirror form?
A convex mirror forms a virtual, upright and diminished image of a real object. The image appears behind the reflecting surface.
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 holder is not confirmed as part of the supply. Request a component-wise quotation when a complete optical setup is required.
Can a convex mirror form an image on a screen?
No. The image formed by a convex mirror is virtual, so it cannot normally be projected directly onto a screen.
Select the required diameter and request optical-specification confirmation from Lab Exports, or browse the complete laboratory equipment range for institutional and export enquiries.
