Objects, images, and light rays

Light rays from a source will radiate
in all directions, reflect from mirrored
surfaces, and bend if they pass from a
material of one index to another.
Consider Figures 34.1, 34.2, and 34.3.
Constructing the image from a plane mirror I

Following the light rays to
form an image of an object.
Consider Figure 34.4.
Constructing the image from a plane mirror II

Consider Figure 34.6, below left.
Consider Figure 34.7, below right. Images from a plane mirror show
left/right reversal.
Reflections from a spherical mirror
Images from a concave mirror change depending on the object position.

Concave and convex mirror sign convention. Consider Figure 34.11.
Sign convention
What is sign of image distance and radius of
curvature?
A. s > 0, R > 0
B. s > 0, R < 0
C. s < 0, R > 0
D. s < 0, R < 0
Sign convention
What is sign of image distance and radius of
curvature?
A. s > 0, R > 0
B. s > 0, R < 0
C. s < 0, R > 0
D. s < 0, R < 0
The focal point and focal length of a spherical mirror

The focal point is at half of the mirrors radius of curvature.
All incoming rays will converge at the focal point.
Q34.1
Which of the following changes its focal length
when it is immersed in water?
A. a concave mirror
B. a convex mirror
C. a diverging lens
D. all of the above
E. none of the above

A. a concave mirror
B. a convex mirror

D. all of the above

Q34.2
A concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 20 cm
has a focal length of
A. 40 cm.
B. 20 cm.
C. 10 cm.
D. 5 cm.
E. answer depends on the index of refraction
of the air around the mirror
A34.2
A concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 20 cm
has a focal length of
A. 40 cm.
B. 20 cm.
C. 10 cm.
D. 5 cm.
E. answer depends on the index of refraction
of the air around the mirror
A system of rays may be constructed to reveal the image
Rays are drawn with regard to the object, the optical axis, the focal
point, and the center of curvature to locate the image.
Consider Figure 34.14 to view one such construct.
The convex spherical mirror I

If you imagine standing inside a shiny metal ball to visualize the
concave spherical mirror, imagine standing on the outside to
visualize the concave spherical mirror.
Consider Figure 34.16 to introduce the convex spherical mirror.
A graphical method for mirrors

On slide 11, we hinted at a graphical formalism using the object,
the center of curvature, the focal point, and the mirror plane.
Consider Figure 34.19 to view the entire formalism.
Thin lenses I
The converging
lens is shown in
Figure 34.28.
Note symmetrical
focal points on
either side of the
lens.
Figure 34.29 uses
the same ray
formalism as we
used with mirrors
to find the image.
Thin lenses II
Figure 34.31 at bottom left illustrates a diverging lens scattering light rays and
the position of its second (virtual) focal point.
Figure 34.32 illustrates some assorted common arrangements of lens surfaces.
Follow Example 34.8.
Q34.8
An object PQ is placed
in front of a converging
lens, forming a real
image PQ. If you use
black paint to cover the
lower half of the lens,
A. only the objects upper half will be visible in the image.
B. only the objects lower half will be visible in the image.
C. only the objects left-hand half will be visible in the image.
D. only the objects right-hand half will be visible in the image.
E. the entire object will be visible in the image.

lens, forming a real
image PQ. If you use

lower half of the lens,
A. only the objects upper half will be visible in the image.
B. only the objects lower half will be visible in the image.
C. only the objects left-hand half will be visible in the image.
D. only the objects right-hand half will be visible in the image.
E. the entire object will be visible in the image.
Graphical methods for lenses
Figure 34.36 applies to lenses the same ray-tracing method we used for
mirrors.
Magnifying lens
A magnifying lens with focal length 15cm is used
to magnify an ant which is 10 cm away.
Draw a ray diagram of this situation
Calculate the distance the image is away from
the lens
How big does the 2 mm long ant appear?
The camera
A clever
arrangement of
optics with a
method to record
the inverted image
on its focal plane
(sometimes film,
sometimes an
electronic
array, it depends
on your camera).
The eyevision problems
When the lens of the eye

allows incoming light to
focus in front of or behind
the plane of the retina, a
persons vision will not be
sharp.
Figure 34.45 (at right) shows

normal, myopic, and
hyperopic eyesight.
Vision correctionexamples
Follow Example 34.13, illustrated in Figure 34.49 in the middle of the

page.
Follow Example 34.14, illustrated in Figure 34.50 at the bottom of the

page.
The microscope
Optical elements are arranged to magnify tiny images for visual

inspection. Figure 34.52 presents the elements of an optical
microscope.
The astronomical telescope
Optical elements are arranged to magnify distant objects for visual

inspection. Figure 34.53 presents the elements of an astronomical
telescope.
The reflecting telescope
Optical elements are arranged to reflect collected light back to an

eyepiece or detector. This design eliminates aberrations more likely
when using lenses. It also allows for greater magnification. The
reflective telescope is shown in Figure 34.54.
