Mirrors and Ray Diagrams for H

This simulation allows you to manipulate objects in front of plane, convex and concave mirrors, to see the resulting ray diagrams and images.

- Use the selector in the top left to change modes.

- Camera can be translate and zoomed by dragging and pinching.

PLANE mode:

- drag the arrow by the center

- rotate the arrow by either end

CONCAVE/CONVEX mode:

- drag the object by the top of the arrow

- move the mirrors by dragging their centers

- use the buttons to show rays, and a coin instead of an arrow

- change the focal length of the mirror with the curvature slider

REAL mode:

- use the button in the top right to switch objects between ray box, bulb, and triangle

- the objects can be dragged

- the bulb can be placed at the focal point of the mirror for parallel reflections

- the mirror can be rotated around to use the convex side

- the triangle object can be used to see how images would actually look in the mirrors
