Optics Reflection: Light is retransmitted from or “bounces off” an object
The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Optics Law of Reflection:
Light “bends” or changes its angle as it moves from one medium to another. Optics Refraction
What you “see” when you look into a mirror or through a lens. Optics Images
A real image can be projected onto a surface. Optics Virtual Image A virtual image cannot be projected onto a surface. Real Image
Plane Mirrors Optics • Flat mirrors Always produce an image that is behind the mirror. Mirrors
Spherical Mirrors Optics • Concave mirror Formed on the inside of a sphere Mirrors Convex mirror Formed on the outside of a sphere
Focal Point Optics • The point where parallel beams of light converge after reflecting Basic Terminology Center of curvature The center point of the circle made by a concave or convex mirror.
Converging Lens Optics • Parallel beams of light come together after refracting through the lens • Example: Magnifying Glass Lenses
Diverging Lens Optics • Parallel beams of light spread apart after refracting through the lens • Example: Certain eye glasses Lenses
Let us predict where an image will form Optics • A light ray is drawn as a simple line with an arrow indicating the direction Ray Diagrams
Concave mirrors—principle rays Optics Incident ray parallel to axis, reflected ray through the focal point
Concave mirrors—principle rays Optics Incident ray through the focal point, reflected parallel to axis
Concave mirrors—principle rays Optics Incident ray through the center point, reflected through the center point
Concave mirrors—examples Optics Image is smaller, inverted and real
Convex mirrors—principle rays Optics Incident ray parallel to the axis, reflected away from focal point (virtual) (virtual ray)
Convex mirrors—principle rays Optics Incident ray toward the focal point, reflected parallel to the axis
Convex mirrors—principle rays Optics Incident ray toward the center point, reflected toward away from the center point
Convex mirrors—examples Optics Image: smaller, upright, virtual
