Concave and convex mirrors
About the game
In this game you can visualize ray diagrams and image formation in concave and convex mirrors through simulations.
Grades: 7 to 9
Time: 15- 20 mins.
Skills you will learn: Reasoning and problem solving skills.
Teacher Notes: Using interactive simulations, students visualize ray diagrams in real time and put their knowledge into practice. As they progress through the game, they solve challenges on image formation, the mirror equation, and magnification—mastering correct sign conventions along the way. Perfect for an engaging 15–20 minute in-class review or homework assignment!

How to play
Simulation of concave and convex mirrors
Just click on the various object positions and see the animated ray diagram for image formation in case of concave and convex mirrors. See the formation of real and virtual images. Learn the mirror equation and it’s use for calculating the image position in both concave and convex mirrors.
Game with concave and convex mirror
Play the game to identify object position for getting an image at a given screen position or igniting a matchstick or for getting a virtual image.
Use the mirror equation to calculate image position or focal length of the mirror. Answer multiple choice questions and numericals.
Understand the magnification formula for finding out if the image is enlarged or diminished.
Solve numerical questions using the mirror equation to find out image position and magnification.
There is no time limit for the levels so you can learn at your own pace.
