1 The Mirror Equation and Ray Diagrams

2 object distance image distance focal length

3 I look in a mirror with a focal length of 20 cm at arms length, 70 cm away. Where would the image of my eyeball form? Is it real or virtual? f = .2 m 1/p + 1/q = 1/f p = .7 m 1/q = 1/f – 1/p 1/q = 1/.2m – 1/.7m 1/q = 3.57 m-1 q = .28 m A real image… it is positive

4 Ray Diagrams f = .2m C = .4m 1. Parallel rays go thru f
2. Thru f goes parallel 3. Thru C bounces back

5 q = 4 m ? f = 10 m C = 20 m p = 3 m 1/f - 1/p = 1/q 1/10 m- 1/3m = m-1 q = -4.29
