PHYSICS / OPTICS: Animation: movie of a mirror with varying curvature (concave to convex).

This animation shows a concave spherical magnifying mirror transforming into a convex minifying mirror. The animation starts with the mirror at maximum concavity and the curvature drops until the mirror becomes a plane (flat) mirror; the mirror then becomes increasingly convex and the reflected image gets smaller and smaller. A subset of this animation is shown in the makeup mirror animation.
