Summary

6. Physics Talk 5.7 What is a real image? What is a virtual image?
An image that will project on a screen – it has an actual image location
An image that will not project on a screen – the image only appears to be coming from that location

7. Physics Talk 5.7 What is a concave mirror? What is a convex mirror?
A curved mirror in which the reflecting surface caves in
A curved mirror in which the reflecting surface bulges out

8. Physics Talk 5.7
What is the relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of reflection?
The angles are equal. This allows us to draw ray diagrams that illustrate how the light is moving

9. Studying Ray Diagrams
Illustrating light 3 rays coming toward concave mirror
1. This ray is parallel to principal axis. This same ray reflects through the focal point
2. This ray approaches the center of the mirror and reflects with the same angle
3. This ray goes through focal point first, hits the mirror, and reflects parallel to the principal axis
All 3 rays must be present in ALL ray diagrams!!!

10. Studying Ray Diagrams
The place where all 3 rays meet is the top of the image
The rest of the image is between that point and the principal axis
All 3 rays must be present in ALL ray diagrams!!!

11. Study the Diagram Find and name all three rays
This is a similar situation, except the object is farther from the mirror
This demonstrates the different sized images you saw in the lab
Find and name all three rays

12. Diagram with Virtual Image
If the object is closer to the mirror than the focal length, it will produce a virtual image

13. Diagram with Virtual Image
1. This ray runs parallel to the principal axis and through the focal point
2. This ray goes from the object in the angel of the focal point and will reflect parallel to the principal axis
3. This ray will leave the object and reflect off the mirror where the principal axis and mirror meet with the same angle
Where do the rays meet?

14. Physics Talk 5.7 Where did the rays meet in the diagram?
Where can the image be found?
The rays never met, which means there is no real image!
The virtual image appears to be behind the mirror where the extended rays meet

15. Physics Talk 5.7 How does this compare to plane mirrors?
With plane mirrors, the virtual image is identical in size to the object
With curved mirrors, the virtual image can be a different size

16. Physics Talk 5.7
How does this work for convex mirrors?
Find the rays

18. What kind of relationship is it?
We can tell by looking at the graph, that it has the shape of a hyperbola.
This shape tells us we have an inverse relationship between object distance and image distance
