Spherical Convex Mirror, Student Grade, 50 mm Diameter, 150 mm Focal Length

A student-grade spherical convex mirror with a 50 mm diameter and a focal length of 150 mm (15 cm). The surface corresponds to a sphere of radius ≈ 300 mm, following the relation f ≈ R / 2. This type of mirror is primarily intended for educational use in classrooms and student laboratories, where demonstrating the fundamental principles of geometrical optics is the main objective rather than high-precision imaging.
