Journal #35 4/30/12 WITHOUT USING YOUR NOTES!!! • 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 #35 Answers • Place the object between the focal point and the mirror. • The image will be virtual.
Lens/Mirror Equation • unitsof 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)
