    diverging (convex)

    ▪ 2nd ray travels towards F, reflects parallel

    ▪ 3rd ray travels to C, reflects back in the


    same direction

    On Today’s Episode…
    Ultraviolet (UV) Light
    ▪ Shorter waves compared to visible light → higher energy, damaging to
    our bodies but also helpful in moderation
    ▪ UV radiation absorbed by some objects and re-emitted as visible light
    (phosphorescence, fluorescence)
    Ultraviolet (UV) Light
    ▪ Vitamin D Production
    ▪ UV radiation from the sun is absorbed by cells in our
    skin
    ▪ Vitamin D production is stimulated
    ▪ Vitamin D travels to liver and kidneys to be converted
    into a form our bodies can use
    ▪ Vitamin D is important for immune function, bone
    health, improves mood (explains forms of
    seasonal affective disorder), prevent heart
    disease, lower blood pressure, etc
    Ultraviolet (UV) Light
    ▪ Excess UV radiation can lead to
    damaged cells (high frequency, high
    energy waves)
    ▪ Sources - the sun, tanning beds,
    UV nail lights, being outside
    without appropriate protection
    (sunscreen, sunblock, creams)
    ▪ Significant health problems
    ▪ Burns
    ▪ DNA mutation → skin cancer
    (melanoma, carcinoma)
    Ultraviolet (UV) Light
    ▪ Sanitization - water treatment,
    sterilization
    ▪ High energy waves are capable of
    killing bacteria and other microbes to
    disinfect surfaces and substances by
    damaging its genetic material (DNA)
    Curved Mirror
    Calculations
    Distance Equation

    ▪ f = focal length

    ▪ do = distance of object to mirror

    ▪ di = distance of image to mirror


    Distance Equation - Converging/Concave

    f
    ▪ f = focal length

    ▪ do = distance of object to mirror For converging mirrors, focal


    length (f) is positive. Think of it
    ▪ di = distance of image to mirror in relation to the reflective side
    of the mirror
    Distance Equation - Diverging/Convex

    f
    ▪ f = focal length

    ▪ do = distance of object to mirror For diverging mirrors, focal length (f)


    is negative. Again, look at where the
    ▪ di = distance of image to mirror image is in relation to the reflective
    surface of the mirror
    Distance Equation - Image Distance

    di di
    ▪ f = focal length
    Real images (in Virtual images
    ▪ do = distance of object to mirror
    front to mirror) (behind mirror)
    ▪ di = distance of image to mirror have a positive have a negative
    distance distance
    Distance Equation - Practice
    ▪ How far from the mirror would the object be if a concave mirror has a
    focal length of 10 cm and creates a real image that is 30 cm away on its
    principal axis?
    Distance Equation - Practice
    ▪ How far from the mirror would the object be if a concave mirror has a
    focal length of 10 cm and creates a real image that is 30 cm away on its
    principal axis?
    Magnification Equation

    ▪ M = magnification

    ▪ hi = height of image

    ▪ ho = height of object

    ▪ di = distance from image to mirror

    ▪ do = distance from object to mirror


    Magnification Equation

    ▪ M = magnification
    Upright images
    ▪ hi = height of image are positive
    Inverted images
    ▪ ho = height of object are negative
    ▪ di = distance from image to mirror

    ▪ do = distance from object to mirror


    Magnification Equation

    ▪ M = magnification

    ▪ hi = height of image

    ▪ ho = height of object

    ▪ di = distance from image to mirror Same positive (real images) and


    negative (virtual images) rules apply
    ▪ do = distance from object to mirror for these distance values
    Magnification Equation

    ▪ M = magnification

    ▪ hi = height of image

    ▪ ho = height of object

    ▪ di = distance from image to mirror Magnification is…


    + when image is larger than object
    ▪ do = distance from object to mirror - when image is smaller than object
    1 when image is the same size as object
    Magnification Equation - Practice
    ▪ A concave mirror with a focal length of 7 cm is held 4 cm from your face.
    What is the magnification of the image? What is the size and type of the
    image?

    Applications of
    Curved Mirrors
    Applications - Converging/Concave
    ▪ Flashlights - produce parallel beams, light bulb at the focal point
    Applications - Converging/Concave
    ▪ Telescopes - collect and focus
    light to be viewed through an
    eyepiece
    ▪ There are many different
    types of telescopes, this
    one uses mirrors, others
    use mirrors and lenses
    (more to come on this in a
    few lessons)
    Applications - Converging/Concave
    ▪ Dental mirrors - produce an enlarged, virtual image of the teeth. Some
    dental mirrors have a plane mirror and create a virtual image of equal
    size
    Applications - Converging/Concave
    ▪ Car headlights - produce parallel beams of light that can be aimed/tilted
    Applications - Diverging/Convex
    ▪ Security, parking garage, corner mirrors - view a large area or around
    corners
    Applications - Diverging/Convex
    ▪ Rear side-view mirrors - allows a wide area behind the car to be seen
    Homework Question
    Use the distance and magnification equations to solve the following questions.

    1 2
    A trucker looks in the convex side Using a concave mirror, a 1.2 cm tall object
    mirror and sees the image of their face. If produced a larger, 5.4 cm tall image. If the
    the focal length of the mirror is 50 cm and object was 4 cm away from the mirror,
    their face is 75 cm away from the mirror, how far away is the image? Is the image
    calculate the distance of the image. What real or virtual?
    is the magnification, attitude and type of
    image in the side mirror?
