Introduction
The Class 11 Physics Reflection at Curved Mirror Notes explain how light behaves when it reflects from curved surfaces such as concave and convex mirrors. This chapter is a key part of the NEB Class 11 Physics Syllabus 2081, helping students understand the principles of reflection, ray diagrams, mirror formula, and practical uses of curved mirrors.
Our Reflection at Curved Mirror Notes PDF includes clear explanations, handwritten notes, ray diagrams, solved numericals, and derivations to help students master this chapter for both NEB exams and IOE entrance preparation.

Overview of Reflection at Curved Mirror (Class 11 Physics)
Reflection at curved mirrors follows the laws of reflection, just like in plane mirrors, but due to the mirror’s curvature, image formation varies based on the mirror type and object position. Curved mirrors can converge or diverge light, forming real or virtual images.
Topics Covered in Reflection at Curved Mirror Notes:
- Types of Mirrors: Concave and Convex
- Laws of Reflection at Curved Surfaces
- Ray Diagrams for Image Formation
- Sign Convention for Mirrors
- Mirror Formula (1/f = 1/v + 1/u)
- Derivation of Mirror Formula
- Magnification and Its Formula
- Uses of Concave and Convex Mirrors
