    Lecture 29 - Optics Part 2

    Uploaded by

    Mircea Pantea
    This document provides an overview of geometric optics and spherical mirrors. Key concepts introduced include the center of curvature, radius, optic axis, and vertex of spherical mirrors. Concave mirrors produce real, inverted images on the same side as the reflected light. Convex mirrors produce virtual, upright images on the opposite side from the reflected light. The mirror equation relates the object and image distances to the radius. Images are located using a graphical method and magnification is calculated using the object and image distances.

    Introductory Physics II

    Geometric Optics - Chapter 34


    Spherical mirrors

    Lecture 29 – August 8
    Outline
    • Review – reflection and refraction of light (33.2)
    • Law of reflection
    • Law of refraction (Snell’s law)
    • Plane mirrors (34.1)
    • Spherical mirrors (34.2)
    • Lenses (33.3 and 33.4)

    New concepts/quantities
    • Index of refraction
    • Object and image (and respective distances)
    • Real and virtual images
    • Sign convention
    Spherical Mirror with a Point Object - concave

    New elements:

    • Center of curvature (C)


    • Radius (R)
    • Optic axis
    • Vertex

    The image of a point on the


    optical axis is on the optical axis
    too.

    Concave mirror (convergent mirror)


    Spherical Mirror with a Point Object -convex

    Convex mirror (divergent mirror)


    Additional Sign Conventions
    s > 0 IF object on the side of incoming rays
    s’> 0 IF image on the side of outgoing rays

    • If the center of curvature C is


    on the same side as the
    reflected light, then R is
    positive.
    • If the image is erect the image
    size (y’) is positive.
    Spherical mirrors formula

    1 1 2
    + =
    𝑠 𝑠′ 𝑅
    • Only approximately valid, for
    small values of the angles.
    • This is called paraxial
    approximation.
    • s,s’ and R should be taken
    with the appropriate signs
    (see sign rules)
    Focal Point and Focal Length

    • A beam of incident parallel


    rays converges, after reflection
    from the mirror, to a focal
    point, point F.
    • With the object (source of
    light) at the focal point, the
    reflected rays are parallel to
    the optic axis.
    • The distance from the vertex to
    the focal point, denoted by f, is
    called the focal length.
    Focal Length and Radius
    𝑅 For spherical mirrors
    𝑓=
    2

    The sign convention for radius


    applies to the focal length too:
    • f > 0 – concave mirror
    • f < 0 – convex mirror

    Magnification
    𝑦′ The magnification can be positive or negative, larger or less than 1.
    𝑚=
    𝑦
    |m| > 1 – image is larger than the object
    |m| < 1 – image is smaller than the object

    m > 0 – image is erect


    m < 0 – image is inverted (upside down)
    These are general properties, valid for any optical system.
    Magnification for spherical mirrors

    𝑠′
    𝑚=−
    𝑠

    • If s,s’ are both positive m is negative


    • The image is inverted
    • s > s’ so |m| <1
    • The image is smaller than the object.
