Concave Mirrors • Mirrors that are a small portion of the inside of a sphere • The angle of incidence still equals the angle of reflection. • Called converging mirrors • The focal length (f) is one-half the radius (R).

Concave Mirrors • The image shown is real because the reflected rays actually pass

Concave Mirrors • The image shown is real because the reflected rays actually pass through each other. • Virtual images only appear to come from a single point. • Object distance (p) • Image distance (q) • Object height (h) • Image height (h’)

Rules of the Mirror Equation • Real images form on the front side of the mirror • Virtual images form on the back side of the mirror • The mirror is drawn so the front side is on the left

Rules of the Mirror Equation • Positive numbers indicate the front side of the

Rules of the Mirror Equation • Positive numbers indicate the front side of the mirror • Negative numbers indicate the back side of the mirror • The principal axis runs through the center of the mirror

Rules of the Mirror Equation • Positive numbers are above the principal axis •

Rules of the Mirror Equation • Positive numbers are above the principal axis • Negative numbers are below the principal axis

Mirror Equation • h is positive if it is upright and negative when inverted.

Mirror Equation • h is positive if it is upright and negative when inverted. • M is positive for virtual (upright) images.

Magnification • M is positive means the image is upright • M is negative

Magnification • M is positive means the image is upright • M is negative means the image is inverted

Convex Mirrors • Called a diverging mirror because rays are spread out by the mirror • Image is always virtual and smaller than the object.

Convex Mirrors • Used as side-view mirrors on cars • What warning is written

Convex Mirrors • Used as side-view mirrors on cars • What warning is written on these mirrors? Why? • Images are small so they appear to be farther away. • Also used in stores to monitor shoppers • Equations are the same as those for concave mirrors.

Parabolic Mirrors • With spherical mirrors, rays not near the principal axis do not all meet at the image point. • Parabolic mirrors eliminate this problem and produce sharper images.

Parabolic Mirrors & Spherical Aberration • Using rays near the axis on spherical mirrors

Parabolic Mirrors & Spherical Aberration • Using rays near the axis on spherical mirrors reduces the aberration or blurriness of the image. • A very small section of a sphere is nearly identical to a paraboloid. • Parabolic mirrors are used in telescopes to sharpen the image.
