Optics The Study of Light
Areas of Optics • Geometric Optics • Light as a ray. • Physical Optics • Light as a wave. • Quantum Optics • Light as a particle.
Optical images • Nature • real (converging rays) • virtual (diverging rays) • Orientation • upright • inverted • Size • true • enlarged • reduced
Law of Reflection • Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. r i

Mirror equation #1 • 1/si + 1/so =1/f • si: image distance • so: object distance • f: focal length
Mirror equation # 2 • M = -si/so = hi/ho • si: image distance • so: object distance • hi: image height • ho: object height • M: magnification
Concave Image is real when object is outside focus Image is virtual when object is inside focus Focal length f is positive Convex Image is always virtual Focal length f is negative Concave vs convex mirrors
Real Formed by converging light rays si is positive when calculated with mirror equation Virtual Formed by diverging light rays si is negative when calculated with mirror equation Real vs Virtual images
Upright Always virtual if formed by one mirror or lens hi is positive when calculated with mirror/lens equation Inverted Always real if formed by one mirror or lens hi is negative when calculated with mirror/lens equation Upright vs Inverted images
Definition: Refraction Change in speed of light as it moves from one medium to another. Can cause bending of the light at the interface between media.
Index of Refraction speed of light in vacuum speed of light in medium n = c/v n =
angle of incidence 1 2 angle of refraction Snell’s Law n1sin 1 = n2sin 2 n1 n2
1 2 n1 < n2 light bends toward normal n1 n2
1 2 n1 > n2 light bends away from normal n1 n2
Dispersion The separation of white light into colors due to different refractive indices for different wavelengths.
Dispersion Due to different indices of refraction for different wavelengths of light.
c r Critical Angle of Incidence n1 Light would refract 90o so it reflects instead, undergoing total internal reflection. n2 n1 > n2
Calculating Critical Angle n1sin(1) = n2sin(2) n1sin(90o) = n2sin(2) n1 = n2sin(c)
i r Occurs only when angle of incidence > critical angle Total Internal Reflection n1 n2
Announcements 1/2/2020 • Turn in homework (lens problems) on overhead. • Lab report will be due next week (on looseleaf or graph paper).
Consider a lens with f = 20 cm. • You place a 5 cm tall object 30 cm in front of the lens. • Draw the ray diagram and construct the image. • Calculate the image distance and height using the lens/mirror equations. • Name the image.
