25.4 Spherical Mirrors
Light rays near and parallel to the principal axis are reflected from the concave mirror and converge at the focal point.
1
The focal point of a spherical concave mirror is (approximately) halfway between the center of curvature of the mirror (C) and the middle of the mirror at B.
In Class Demo The focal length, f , is the distance between the focal point and the middle of the mirror.
Rf 21=
25.4 Spherical Mirrors
The effect is called spherical aberration.
2
Rays that lie close to the principal axis are called paraxial rays.
Rays that are far from the principal axis do not converge to a single point.
When paraxial light rays that are parallel to the principal axis strike a convex mirror, the rays appear to originate from the focal point behind the mirror.
Rf 21−=
Since the light rays do not really converge to this point, it is a virtual focus
The SIGN convention is to assign a negative value to virtual quantities

25.3 The Formation of Images by a Plane Mirror
A ray of light from the top of the chess piece reflects from the mirror. To the eye, the ray seems to come from behind the mirror.
3
Because none of the light rays actually emanate from the image, it is called a virtual image.
The different rays from the top of the chess piece that enter the eye all appear to come from the same point behind the mirror: image.
(Virtual) Image formation by a plane mirror 1. The right hand of the person (object) becomes the
left hand of the image (inversion of handedness) 2. The image is upright. 3. The image is the same size as the object. 4. The image is as far behind the mirror as the

25.5 The Formation of Images by Spherical Mirrors Images from Concave Mirrors
[1] The ray that is initially parallel to the principal axis and passes through the focal point after reflection.
[2] The ray that initially passes through the focal point, then emerges parallel to the principal axis after reflection.
[3] The ray that travels along a line that passes through the center (i.e. along a radius) both before and after reflection
5
One can find images formed by a concave mirror by performing ray-tracing. The convention is to assume an upright object, and trace rays from the top of the object. In particular: Three special rays can be constructed with only a straight-edge:
Path of light rays are REVERSIBLE
Use a compass to draw the circle of the lens: here R=16 cm
Draw the Principle Axis between the Center and the middle of the mirror
Label the Center of Curvature (C) and the focus (F). Focal Length is f = R/2 = 8 cm
Draw object as an upward arrow
[1] The ray that is initially parallel to the principal axis and passes through the focal point after reflection.
[2] The ray that initially passes through the focal point, then emerges parallel to the principal axis after reflection.
[3] The ray that travels along a line that passes through the center (i.e. along a radius) both before and after reflection
The three rays converge at the tip of the inverted REAL image, which is located in front of the mirror
25.5 The Formation of Images by Spherical Mirrors
Image formation and the principle of reversibility
1
We start with an object between C and F
Tracing through three rays shown, they converge on an image in front of the mirror
This is a REAL image, because the rays arriving at the eye do in fact come from the point of the image
Real images are always inverted: hi < 0
If we place an object at the location, and of the size of the image in the previous case above, then: the new image appears where the old object was, and will be the same size
Note the two general cases we have already explored: 1. For an object located between C and F, you get an enlarged, real image located beyond C
2. For an object located beyond C, you get a shrunken, real image located between C and F

Images from Convex Mirrors
[1] The ray that is initially parallel to the principal axis and appears to originate from the focal point after reflection
[2] The ray that is initially headed toward the focal point, then emerges parallel to the principal axis after reflection.
[3] The ray that travels along a line that passes through the center of curvature (i.e. along a radius) both before and after reflection (back on itself)
Three special rays can be constructed with only a straight-edge: very similar to those for the concave mirror
For a convex mirror, with an object in front:

The virtual image is always diminished in size and upright.
Example A Virtual Image Formed by a Convex Mirror (similar to above)
A convex mirror is used to reflect light from an object placed 66 cm in front of the mirror. The focal length of the mirror is -46 cm. Find the location of the image and the magnification.
