  1. Curved Mirrors: Concave Applied Physics and Chemistry Reflection Lecture 2

  2. Curved mirrors • What if the mirror isn’t flat? • light still follows the same rules, with local surface normal • Parabolic mirrors have exact focus • spherical mirrors may experience distortion • used in telescopes, backyard satellite dishes, etc. • also forms virtual image education.jlab.org/powerpoint/0708_optics_mirrors_and_lenses.ppt

  3. View kacleaveland's map Taken in a place with no name (See more photos or videos here) "Have you ever approached a giant concave mirror? See your upside-down image suspended in mid-air. Walk through the image to see a new reflection, right-side-up and greatly magnified. In the background you see reflected a room full of visitors enjoying other Concave Mirrors • Curve inward • May be real or virtual image education.jlab.org/powerpoint/0708_optics_mirrors_and_lenses.ppt

  4. Concave Mirror • The centerC of a concave mirror is outside the mirror. • Focal pointF is also outside the mirror, half way between the center and the surface of the mirror. • The focal lengthfis half of the radius of curvature. www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys106/FL11.ppt

  5. Image from a concave mirror: case 1 Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys106/FL11.ppt

  6. Image from a concave mirror:case 1 www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys106/FL11.ppt

  7. Properties of the Image • If we put an object outside of the center of a concave mirror, we find the image is • Real, in the sense that all light rays pass through the image. • Inverted, in the sense that the direction of the arrow has been changed. • The image is smaller! www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys106/FL11.ppt

  8. Animation for case 1 www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys106/FL11.ppt

  9. Image for a concave mirror: case 2 www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys106/FL11.ppt

  10. If the object is in between the center and the focal point, the image is • Real • Inverted • Magnified in the sense that the image is bigger than the real object. www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys106/FL11.ppt

  11. Animation for case 2 www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys106/FL11.ppt

  12. Image from a concave mirror: case 3 www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys106/FL11.ppt

  13. Image from a concave mirror: case 3 www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys106/FL11.ppt

  14. Animation for case 3 www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys106/FL11.ppt

  15. Properties of the image • If the object is closer to the mirror than the focal point F, the image is • Virtual, it is behind the mirror • Upright, not inverted • Magnified www.physics.umd.edu/courses/Phys106/FL11.ppt
