Warm Up #1:The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave measures 3.63 x 10 -10 m. What is the frequency of this waveform? Is it an infrared wave? Explain. f = (3.00 x 10 8 m/s) / (3.63 x 10 -10 m) f = 8.26 x 10 17 Hz

What we see: In visible spectrum 400-700nm If you see red, object absorbs all frequencies of visible light but red, ie object reflects red White: combination of all visible light frequencies, all frequencies reflected Black: combination of all visible light frequencies absorbed, no frequencies reflected
10
Speed of Light The speed of all EM Waves (light) or “c” is 3 x 10 8 m/s. What is a light year? The distance light travels in one year Does light ever go slower? Yes, 3 x 10 8 m/s is the maximum and occurs in an vacuum. Light slows as it enters more dense medium. When it changes medium, it bends. What is this called? REFRACTION
11
Reflection and Refraction at an Interface Why does the light bend?
12
FYI: The speed of light c in a material is generally less than the free-space velocity c of 3 x10 8 m/s. In water light travels about three-fourths of its velocity in air. Light travels about two-thirds as fast in glass. index of refraction, n The ratio of the velocity c of light in a vacuum to the velocity v of light in a particular medium is called the index of refraction, n for that material.

17 Reflection and Mirrors
18
REFLECTION OF LIGHT Light obeys the law of refection that states that: "The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection."
19
Angle of Reflection = Angle of Incidence Angles are measured with respect to the normal line
20
If all surfaces reflect, why can’t I see my image?
21
Light reflection from a smooth surface is called regular or specular reflection. Light reflection from a rough or irregular surface is called diffuse reflection.
22
What type of reflection?
24
Fiber Optics is also an example of reflection TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION

Mirrors
36
When we look at something in the mirror, the light wave we see is the reflected ray:
37
37 Object: source of rays Image: reproduction of object
38
38 Describing Images Size –Same –Reduced –Enlarged Orientation –Upright or inverted, Reversed Virtual or Real
39
39 Virtual reflected rays do not actually converge to form image. Cannot be projected. images form where light rays appear to have crossed. In mirrors, they form behind the mirror. are always upright.
40
40 Real images form where light rays actually cross. Can be projected. In mirrors, they form on the same side of the mirror as the object since light can not pass through a mirror. are always inverted (flipped upside down).

Rainbows Interesting tidbit: Sun is behind you for you to see a rainbow 42
43
Rainbows are due to refraction and reflection in water droplets 43

44 Types of Mirrors Flat or Plane Convex Concave
45
FLAT MIRRORS A flat mirror reflects light rays in the same order as they approach it. Flat mirrors are made from pieces of plate glass that have been coated on the back with a reflecting material like silver or aluminum. The image is the same size as the object and the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.
46
These images which appear to the eye to be formed by rays of light but which in truth do not exist are called virtual images. On the other hand real images are formed when rays of light actually intersect at a single point. Notice that the images formed by a flat mirror are, in truth, reflections of real objects. The images themselves are not real because no light passes through them.
47
Left-Right Reversal Why? Mirrors actually reverse you front to back, it is like turning a glove inside out
48
48 Plane Mirrors: flat surface. ex. mirror hanging on the wall in your bathroom
49
Plane mirror ray diagram
50
50 Plane Mirror In a plane mirror the object is the same size, upright, and the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. Your mind extends the reflected ray beyond the mirror to form image.
51
51 Think about your image in a plane mirror? What is the same? What is different?
52
52 Images in a plane mirror are also reversed left to right.
53
53 What type of image is shown above? –A. Real –B. Virtual Original image
54
54 Concave mirrors: sphere whose inner surface was reflective Concave mirrors: aka converging mirrors since they bring light rays to a focus. ex. magnifying mirrors Convex mirrors: sphere whose outer surface was reflective. Convex mirrors: aka diverging mirrors since spread out light rays. ex store security mirrors Types of Mirrors Convex Concave

59 What kind of mirror would be used to focus a beam of light? Concave
60
60 Drawing Diagrams F: Focal Point, point where parallel light rays converge or appear to diverge. The focal point (F) is located halfway between the mirror’s surface and the center of curvature. f: focal length, distance between F and mirror/lens C: Center of curvature, geometric center of sphere of radius. C = 2f =radius Principle axis: line that passes through both the center of curvature (C) and the focal point (F) and intersects the mirror at a right angle.

64
64
65
65 1. Start at top of object. Light ray 1 travels parallel to the principle axis, strikes the mirror, and is reflected back through the focal point (F). 2. Light ray 2 travels from top of object and strikes the mirror, is in line with the focal point. It is reflected back parallel to the principle axis. 3. Where these 2 reflected light rays intersect is the location of the image. Sometimes it is necessary to extend reflected rays beyond mirror. If above axis, erect; if below, inverted.

66
66 Hints Images in front of mirror are always real Real Images are always inverted Inverted images are always below the principle axis If reflected rays do not cross, extend them behind mirror Images behind mirror are always virtual Virtual Images are always erect Erect images are always above the principle axis

97
THE MIRROR EQUATION The mirror equation can be used to locate the image: The ratio M is called the magnification, h o is the object’s size and h i is the image size. Where d o is the object’s distance, d i is the image distance and f is the focal length.
98
98 d o = distance between object and mirror/lens d i = distance between image and mirror/lens h o = height of object h i = height of image m = optical enlargement of an object, ratio of size of image to size of object
99
Example Suppose you place a 5.0 cm tall pencil in front of a concave mirror. The mirror has a focal length of 24 cm. The pencil forms an image that appears to be at the same position as the spring, but the image is inverted. a. Where did you place the pencil? h o = 5 cm f = 24 cm d o = d i d o = 2f = 2(24cm) = 48 cm So… 2do2do = 1f1f
100
b. How tall is the pencil’s image? h o = 5 cm h i = -h o = - 5 cm h i h 0 =
101
Example Suppose you are 19 cm in front of the bell of your friend’s trumpet and you see your image at 14 cm. Treating the trumpet’s bell as a concave mirror, what would be its focal length and radius of curvature? d o = 19 cm d i = 14 cm f = 8.06 cm R = 2f = 2(8.06cm) = 16.12 cm 1 19cm = 1f1f 1 14cm +
