an important point
objects do not emit rays of light that get ‘seen’ by your eye. Light (from a bulb or the sun) gets reflected off the object towards your eye.
PHY232 - Remco Zegers - Mirrors and lenses 3
we saw…
that light can be reflected or refracted at boundaries between material with a different index of refraction.
by shaping the surfaces of the boundaries we can make devices that can focus or otherwise alter an image.
Here we focus on mirrors and lenses for which the properties can be described well by a few equations.

the flat mirror
in the previous chapter we already saw flat mirrors.
The distance from the object to the mirror the object distance p
The distance from the image to the mirror is the image distance q
in case of a flat mirror, an observer sees a virtual image, meaning that the rays do not actually come from it.
the image size (h’ ) is the same as the object size (h), meaning that the magnification h’/h=1
the image is not inverted
p q
NOTE: a virtual imagecannot be projected on a screen but is ‘visible’ bythe eye or another opticalinstrument.

question
You are standing in front (say 1 m) of a mirror that is less high than your height. Is there a chance that you can still see your complete image?
a) yes b) no

ray diagrams
to understand the properties of optical elements we use ray diagrams, in which we draw the most important elements and parameters to understand the elements

concave mirrors
C
C: center of mirror curvature
a light ray passing through the center of curvature will be reflected back upon itself because it strikes the mirror normally to the surface.
F: focal point
F
a light ray traveling parallel to the central axis of the mirrorwill be reflected to the focal point F, with FM=CM/2
The distance FM is called the focal length f.
M

concave mirrors: an object outside F
O F
step 1: draw the ray from the top of the object parallel to the central axis and its reflection (through F).
step 2: draw the ray from the top of the object through F and its reflection (parallel to the central axis)
step 3: note that a ray from the bottom of the object just reflects back.
the image of the top of the object is located where the reflected rays meet
construct the image I

The image is:a) inverted (upside down)b) real (light rays pass through it)c) smaller than the object

mirror equation: 1/p + 1/q = 1/fgiven p,f this equation can be used to calculate qmagnification: M=-q/pcan be used to calculate magnification.
• if negative: the image is inverted• if smaller than 1, object is demagnified

example
An object is placed 12 cm in front of a a concave mirror with focal length 5 cm. What are: a) the location of the imageb) the magnification
PHY232 - Remco Zegers - Mirrors and lenses 12
concave mirrors: an object inside F

step 1: draw the ray from the top of the object parallel to the central axis and its reflection (through F).
step 3: note that a ray from the bottom of the object just reflects back.
step 2: draw the ray from the top of the object through F and its reflection (parallel to the central axis)
I
the image of the top of the object is located where the reflected rays meet: in this you must draw virtual rays on the other side of the lens
create the image
the image is:a) not invertedb) virtualc) magnified
PHY232 - Remco Zegers - Mirrors and lenses 13
concave mirrors: an object inside F
OF Ithe image is:a) not invertedb) virtualc) magnified
The lens equation and equation for magnification are stillvalid. However, since the image is now on the otherside of the mirror, its sign should be negative
PHY232 - Remco Zegers - Mirrors and lenses 14
example
an object is placed 2 cm in front of a lens with a focal length of 5 cm. What are the a) image distance and b) the magnification?
PHY232 - Remco Zegers - Mirrors and lenses 16
step 2: draw the ray from the top of the object through F and its reflection (parallel to the central axis)
convex mirrors: an object outside F (p>|f|)
O F
step 3: note that a ray from the bottom of the object just reflects back.
the image of the top of the object is located where the reflected rays meet
construct the image I
I
step 1: draw the ray from the top of the object parallel to the central axis and its reflection (through F).
F is now located on the otherside of the mirror

convex mirrors: an object outside F (p>|f|)
O FIF is now located on the otherside of the mirror
the image is:a) not invertedb) virtualc) demagnified
The lens/mirror equation and equation for magnification are still valid. However, since the image and focal point are now on the other side of the mirror, their signs should be negative
PHY232 - Remco Zegers - Mirrors and lenses 18
example
an object with a height of 3 cm is placed 6 cm in front of a convex mirror, with f=-3 cm. What are a) the image distance and b) the magnification?
PHY232 - Remco Zegers - Mirrors and lenses 19
convex mirrors with p < |f|
the situation is exactly the same as for the situation with p > |f|. The demagnification will be different though…

Lenses Lenses function by refracting light at their
surfaces Their action depends on
radii of the curvatures of both surfacesthe refractive index of the lens
converging (positive lenses) have positive focal length and are always thickest in the center
diverging (negative lenses) have negative focal length and are thickest at the edges

The equation that connects object distance p, imagedistance q and focal length f is (just like for mirrors):1/p + 1/q = 1/fSimilarly for the magnification:M=-q/p
q is positive if the image is on the opposite side of the lens as the objectNOTE THAT THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN THE CASE FOR MIRRORS

spherical aberrations: Hubble space telescope
spherical aberrations are due to the rays hitting the lensat different locations have a different focal point
perfect
distorted

PHY232 - Remco Zegers - Mirrors and lenses 41
chromatic aberrations
Chromatic aberrations are due to light of different wavelengths having a different index of refractionCan be corrected by combining lenses/mirrors
If n varies with wavelength, the focal length fchanges with wavelength
