Concave Spherical Mirrors • A spherical mirror has the shape of part of a sphere’s surface. • Concave Spherical Mirror (Converging Mirror): A spherical mirror with light reflecting from its silvered, concave surface – Concave mirrors are used whenever a magnified image of an object is needed www. assignmentpoint. com

The Mirror Equation • To use the mirror equation, you must use the correct

The Mirror Equation • To use the mirror equation, you must use the correct signs. • Object and image distances are positive if they form on the front side of the mirror • Object and image distances are negative if they form on the back side of the mirror www. assignmentpoint. com

Sample Problem • A concave shaving mirror has a focal length of 33 cm. Calculate the magnification of the image. Is the image real or virtual? Is the image inverted or upright? www. assignmentpoint. com

Sign Conventions for Magnification Orientation of Sign of M image with respect to object

Sign Conventions for Magnification Orientation of Sign of M image with respect to object Upright Inverted Type of image + Virtual - Real www. assignmentpoint. com

Find the magnification The magnification is negative, therefore the image is real and inverted.

How to draw a ray diagram • For spherical mirrors, there are three different reference rays. • The intersection of any two rays locates the image www. assignmentpoint. com

Rules for drawing reference rays Ray Line drawn from object to mirror Line drawn

Rules for drawing reference rays Ray Line drawn from object to mirror Line drawn from mirror to image after reflection 1 Parallel to principal axis Through focal point F 2 Through focal point F Parallel to principal axis 3 Through center of curvature (C) Back along itself through C www. assignmentpoint. com

Convex Mirrors • Convex mirrors take objects in a large field of view and produce a small image – Side-view mirrors on cars are convex mirrors. That’s why they say “objects are closer than they appear” www. assignmentpoint. com

Convex Spherical Mirrors • A convex spherical mirror (diverging mirror) is silvered so that

Convex Spherical Mirrors • A convex spherical mirror (diverging mirror) is silvered so that light is reflected from the sphere’s outer, convex surface – The image distance is always negative! – The image is always a virtual image! – The focal length is negative ! www. assignmentpoint. com

Ray diagrams for convex mirrors • The focal point and center of curvature are

Ray diagrams for convex mirrors • The focal point and center of curvature are behind the mirror’s surface – A virtual, upright image is formed behind the mirror – The magnification is always less than 1 f www. assignmentpoint. com C

Drawing the reference rays • Ray 1 is drawn parallel to the principal axis

Drawing the reference rays • Ray 1 is drawn parallel to the principal axis beginning at the top of the object. It reflects from the mirror along a line that intersects the focal point f www. assignmentpoint. com C

Ray 2 • Ray 2 starts from the top of the object and goes

Ray 2 • Ray 2 starts from the top of the object and goes as though its going to intersect the focal point but it reflects parallel to the principal axis Ray 1 Ray 2 f www. assignmentpoint. com C
