What Is a Convex Mirror Used For?

A convex mirror spreads reflected light outwards, so it always forms a virtual, erect and diminished image — the same principle as a vehicle’s rear-view mirror. In the lab, students compare its images with those of plane and concave mirrors and, in senior classes, find its focal length with the help of a convex lens on an optical bench.

Having two focal lengths lets teachers match the mirror to the lens and bench length available, which keeps it a flexible item of physics lab equipment in India. Hold the mirror only by its ground edges, keep the polished face free of fingerprints, and store each mirror separately in a padded box.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • The focal length you need: 15 cm or 25 cm.
  • How many mirrors of each focal length are required.
  • The mounting or holder needed to use the mirror on your optical bench.

OEM Manufacturer

The Convex Mirror comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and manufactures its school optics range as the OEM at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Ordering from the maker lets schools, dealers and importers combine both focal lengths in one quotation and return to the same source for repeat quantities. More about the company is on its profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What focal lengths are available for the Convex Mirror?
The Convex Mirror is available with focal lengths of 15 cm and 25 cm, both on a 50 mm diameter mirror. State which focal length you need, or how many of each, when you request a quotation so the order matches your practical method.

What size is the Convex Mirror?
The Convex Mirror is round with a diameter of 50 mm. It is made of spherical, optically worked glass with ground edges and a highly polished surface, giving a clear reflected image for student optics experiments.

What kind of image does the Convex Mirror form?
The Convex Mirror always forms a virtual, erect and diminished image, whatever the object distance. Because that image cannot be caught on a screen, the mirror’s focal length is usually found with the help of a convex lens on an optical bench.

How is the focal length of the Convex Mirror measured?
First form a real image with a convex lens, then place the Convex Mirror between the lens and that image and move it until the image retraces its own path. The distance from the mirror to the image position is then its radius of curvature, twice the focal length.

How should the Convex Mirror be cleaned and stored?
Clean the Convex Mirror with a soft lens tissue or cloth, holding it only by its ground edges, and store it in a padded box away from other glassware. Although it is listed as chemical and heat resistant, the polished surface should be kept free of scratches.

Who manufactures the Convex Mirror?
The Convex Mirror is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.

Country of originIndia (made in Ambala, Haryana)

What Is a Concave Mirror Used For?

Students first estimate the focal length by focusing the image of a distant window onto a screen and measuring the distance to the mirror. They then find it accurately by the u–v method on an optics bench, as practised in Indian schools, removing parallax between the real image and a needle and plotting the results.

The mirror also shows how the image changes as the object moves: real and inverted beyond the focus, enlarged and erect inside it — the principle behind shaving mirrors and torch reflectors. Because it concentrates light, never point it at the Sun, and hold it by the ground edges to keep the polished face clean.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • Which focal length you need: 15 cm or 25 cm.
  • The quantity required in each focal length.
  • Whether an optical bench or mirror mounting should be quoted with the mirrors.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and makes this Concave Mirror as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so buyers deal with the maker for quotations, repeat quantities and mixed focal-length orders. The company is registered as an MSME enterprise under Udyam number UDYAM-HR-01-0003714 and holds Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A from the DGFT for export consignments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What focal lengths does the Concave Mirror come in?
The Concave Mirror comes in two focal lengths, 15 cm and 25 cm, each on a 50 mm diameter mirror. The shorter focal length keeps every reading well inside a one-metre optical bench, while the longer one spreads readings out for easier measurement.

How do students find the focal length of the Concave Mirror?
For a quick estimate, focus the image of a distant window onto a screen with the Concave Mirror and measure the mirror-to-screen distance. For an accurate value, use the u–v method on an optical bench, removing parallax between the image and a needle.

What images can the Concave Mirror form?
The Concave Mirror forms real, inverted images when the object is beyond its focus, and these can be caught on a screen. With the object between the focus and the mirror, it gives an enlarged, erect virtual image, as in a shaving mirror.

What is the Concave Mirror made of?
The Concave Mirror is made of spherical, optically worked glass with ground edges and a highly polished surface, in a round shape. It is listed as chemical and heat resistant, although the polished face should still be protected from scratches.

Is it safe to use the Concave Mirror in sunlight?
Take care when using the Concave Mirror outdoors, because it concentrates light at its focus and can burn skin or paper. Never let students look at the Sun in the mirror, and use a distant building or window as the object for focal-length estimates.

Who manufactures the Concave Mirror?
The Concave Mirror is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) as the OEM at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.

Product codeSCL-396/096
ManufacturerJain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM
Country of originIndia (made in Ambala, Haryana)

What Is the Convex Lens Used For?

The convex lens is the heart of the focal-length practical. Students first focus the image of a distant window or tree on a screen to get a rough value, then mount the lens on an optical bench and record object and image distances to calculate f from the lens formula. Moving the object from beyond 2F to inside F shows how the image changes from real and inverted to virtual and magnified.

The choice between the 10 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm versions depends on bench length and class level: a short focal length keeps images within a small bench, while a longer one spreads the distances out for easier measurement. Hold the lens by its ground edge, clean the polished faces with lens tissue, and keep it in a padded box so the surfaces stay scratch-free, as with all school physics lab equipment.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • Focal length: 10 cm, 15 cm or 20 cm, or a mix of all three
  • Quantity of each focal length, for example one lens per student group
  • Whether matching concave lenses are needed for lens-combination experiments
  • Delivery location and whether the order is for a school, college, dealer or importer

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, and it is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this convex lens.

Country of originIndia (made in Ambala, Haryana)

What Is the Concave Lens Used For?

A concave lens never forms a real image on its own, so its focal length is measured indirectly. Students place it in contact with a convex lens of shorter focal length so the pair still throws a real image on a screen, find the combined focal length on the optical bench, and then calculate the concave lens value. The same lens shows why diverging lenses are used to correct short sight.

Label storage slots by focal length so a class does not mix up lenses when building combinations, a common problem with any convex and concave lens set used in schools. Wipe the polished faces with lens tissue after use, keep fingerprints off the optical surfaces, and store the lenses edge-down in a soft-lined box.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • Focal length needed: 10 cm, 15 cm or 20 cm
  • Number of concave lenses of each focal length
  • Whether convex lenses of a shorter focal length are needed for the combination method
  • Buyer type and delivery location (school, college, dealer or importer)

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the Concave Lens. Production takes place at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so quotations, repeat orders and matched convex and concave sets come straight from the maker rather than through a reseller. Institutions, dealers and importers can ask us about replacing a lens when a class set loses one. See the ScienceLab company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a convex lens needed with the Concave Lens?
The Concave Lens (SCL-398/097) diverges light and forms only virtual images, so it cannot throw an image on a screen by itself. Pairing it with a stronger convex lens produces a real image, and the combined focal length is used to calculate the concave lens focal length.

Which focal lengths of Concave Lens can be ordered?
The Concave Lens is available in exact focal lengths of 10 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm, each with a 2 inch (about 51 mm) round glass body. Mention the focal length when ordering, because the combination method works when the convex partner has a shorter focal length.

What finish does the Concave Lens have?
The Concave Lens is spherical, optically worked glass with ground edges and highly polished faces. The ground edge gives students a safe place to hold the lens, while the polished surfaces keep the diverging rays clean for ray-tracing and virtual-image observations.

Can the Concave Lens be used at home as well as in the lab?
Yes, the Concave Lens is described as suitable for lab or home use in the study of light principles. At home, students can look through it to see upright, diminished virtual images, a simple way to revise how diverging lenses behave.

Who makes the Concave Lens?
The Concave Lens is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buying from the manufacturer means matched concave and convex lenses, and later repeat orders, come from one source.

Country of originIndia (made in Ambala, Haryana)

What Is the Glass Prism Used For?

The classic practical is the angle-of-deviation experiment. The prism is placed on paper pinned to a drawing board, pins mark the incident and emergent rays, and students measure the deviation for several angles of incidence. Plotting the results gives the angle of minimum deviation, from which the refractive index of the glass is calculated using the 60° prism angle.

In a darkened room, a narrow beam of white light passing through the prism spreads into a spectrum, showing dispersion, a staple demonstration among physics practical equipment in CBSE and state-board labs. Draw the outline of the prism before tracing rays so it can be returned to the same spot, and hold it by the triangular ends to keep the refracting faces free of fingerprints.

OEM Manufacturer

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and is the OEM for this 60° glass prism. It is produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers. Class sets and top-up orders are therefore quoted by the maker itself. Visit the ScienceLab company profile for more about the company.

Country of originIndia (made in Ambala, Haryana)

What Is the Glass Slab Used For?

The glass slab is used for the refraction-through-a-rectangular-slab practical. Students outline the slab on paper, fix two pins along an incident ray, sight the pins through the opposite face and place two more pins in line. Joining the points shows the ray bending towards the normal as it enters the glass and away from it as it leaves.

Measuring the angles of incidence and refraction lets students verify Snell's law and calculate the refractive index, while the sideways offset between incident and emergent rays shows lateral displacement. The 18 mm thickness makes that shift easy to see on paper. Keep the faces free of scratches and fingerprints so pin images stay sharp, and lay the slab flat in a lined box after use.

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this glass slab. The slab is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and dispatched factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers, with no trader between the lab and the maker.

The Glass Slab (SCL-404/099) measures 75 × 50 × 18 mm. The 18 mm thickness gives a clearly visible lateral displacement between the incident and emergent rays, while the 75 × 50 mm face fits easily on a sheet of paper pinned to a drawing board.

What type of glass is the Glass Slab made from?
The Glass Slab is listed as English glass, a clear, colourless rectangular block. Its transparency lets students sight pins through the block accurately, which is essential for tracing the refracted ray and working out the refractive index.

Which experiment is the Glass Slab used for?
The Glass Slab is used to trace the path of a light ray through a rectangular glass slab, measure the angles of incidence, refraction and emergence, verify Snell's law and find the refractive index of glass. It is a standard secondary-school physics practical.

How do I care for the Glass Slab?
Store the Glass Slab flat in a lined box, clean it with a soft cloth and mild soapy water when needed, and dry it fully. Avoid sliding it across rough benches, since scratches on the faces blur the pin images students need to sight.

What Is the Physics Drawing Board Used For?

Most pin-and-paper optics practicals start on a drawing board. A sheet of paper is fixed to the board, the glass slab, prism or plane mirror is placed on it, and board pins pushed into the wood mark the path of each ray. The wooden surface holds the pins upright while students sight along them.

The same board is used to plot magnetic field lines with a small compass around a bar or horseshoe magnet, marking needle positions with pencil dots, so one board serves both optics and magnetism work alongside other physics lab instruments. Keep the board dry, fix paper at the corners only, and use fresh paper rather than heavily pinned sheets so new ray lines stay accurate.
