Journal #81 April 22, 2011 You do not need to copy this paragraph • Use the concave and convex mirrors on your table. Start with the mirror very close to your eye and slowly back it away. Describe the changes to your image until the mirror is a full arm’s length away
Answer to Journal #81 • Concave: The image starts off very close to regular size and increases in size. Image becomes completely blurred. Image reforms and is inverted and enlarged. It becomes reduced the farther away you move beyond this point. • Convex: The image starts off very close to regular size but reduces as the mirror is pushed back. Also, image is not a true representation of object… slightly skewed.
Plane Mirror Reflection is on top of incident light Image formed is: Virtual Upright Same Size

Journal #82 April 25, 2011 WITHOUT USING YOUR NOTEBOOK!!! • If you know the focal length of a concave mirror, where should you place an object so that its image is upright and larger compared to the object? • Will this produce a real or virtual image?
Journal #82 Answer • Place the object between the focal point and the mirror. • The image will be virtual
Lens/Mirror Equation • (units of length MUST match) • f stands for focal length • di is the distance from the mirror/lens to the image • do is the distance from the mirror/lens to the object
Image Height • Magnification of an image can be found by a series of ratios between the distances of objects and their images and their respective heights as shown below.
Helpful Hints for Mirror Probs • In the formula, the numbers can tell you the characteristics of the image: • Size • Reduced ( |hi| < ho ) • Same Size ( |hi| = ho ) • Enlarged ( |hi| > ho ) • Orientation • Upright (hi positive) • Inverted (hi negative) • Type of Image • Real (di positive, in front of mirror) • Virtual (di negative, behind the mirror) • Focal point for concave mirror is always positive. • Focal point for convex mirror is always negative.
Example problem 1 • A concave mirror has a radius of 28cm. An 15cm tall object is placed 25cm from the mirror. Describe the image formed. What will be the height and position of the image?
Example problem 2 • A convex mirror has a focal length of 32cm. An 17cm tall object is placed 1.0m from the mirror. Describe the image formed. What will be the height and position of the image?

Spherical Aberration Special Note: • Parallel light rays that are far from the principal axis are not reflected by spherical mirrors to converge at the focal point. This defect is called spherical aberration. To avoid this dilemma, spherical mirrors have been replaced with parabolic mirrors in devices such as telescopes that require extreme accuracy and focus.
