Unit 3: Light
2
Symbols used: ◦ Ho- height of the object ◦ Hi- height of the image ◦ m-magnification ◦ do (or p)- distance between object and vertex ◦ di (or q)- distance between image and vertex ◦ f- focal length ◦ R- radius of curvature (2F)
3
Magnification= m= Curved mirror and lens equation:
4
1. Focal length (f)- ◦ Positive for converging mirrors ◦ Negative for diverging mirrors 2. Object distance (do)- is positive 3. Image distance (di)- ◦ Positive for all real images ◦ Negative for all virtual images 4. Heights (Ho and Hi)- ◦ Positive if upright ◦ Negative if inverted 5. Magnification (m)- ◦ Positive image is upright ◦ Negative image is inverted
5
Note: sign conventions are needed to get the correct answer when using mirror equations
6
Write down what you know and what you need to find Draw a quick sketch Find which equation has only one unknown; use this value to solve for other unknowns Check to make sure answer fits with sketch
7
A object 8.0cm high is placed 30cm in front of a converging mirror with a focal length of 20cm. Determine the image location, magnification and image height. Draw a sketch Write what you know Write what you are looking for Write equation Substitute numbers in
10
An object 12.0cm high is placed 10cm in front of a diverging mirror with a focal length of 4cm. Determine the image location and height.
12
Complete practice problem- following slide When done get answer checked and move on to the- Converging and Diverging mirror equation problems
13
1. A candle 3.0 cm high is 30.0cm from a converging mirror that has a focal length of 20.0cm. a)Where is the image located? b)What is the height of the image?
