Spherical mirror

Side-view textbook optical diagram of a spherical mirror as a thin curved segment cut from a circle or sphere. Shown as a smooth, symmetrical circular arc with a clearly bowed profile, polished reflective silver surface on one side, and a slightly darker gray backing or thin supporting layer on the opposite side to indicate thickness. The clean diagram-style appearance should make the circular curvature obvious and be suitable for ray diagrams, able to represent either a concave or convex mirror depending on which side is reflective; a principal axis may pass through the center.
