4 Ray Optics and Image Formation Simple geometric ray optics can be used to understand how images are formed by simple optical devices: mirrors and lenses. 1 Wikipedia user Heptagon.

5 Images Formed by Flat Mirrors When we see an object in the mirror, we are not actually seeing something that is behind the mirror. We are seeing an image of and object that is placed in front of the mirror. The image seems to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. The image seems to be the same size as the object. This is not true for all optical devices, but we can work out things about how the image will form for many different optical devices.

6 Image Formation Terminology object distance, p The perpendicular (shortest) distance from the object to the device. image distance, q The perpendicular (shortest) distance from where the image appears to be to the device. (lateral) magnification, M The factor by which the image size exceeds the object s size For mirrors and lenses M = image height object height M = q p

7 Image Formation Terminology real image An image that can be displayed on a screen formed when the light rays pass through and diverge from the image point. virtual image An image that cannot be displayed on a screen, but can be seen in the device because the light rays appear to diverge from the image point. The image in a flat mirror is virtual.

8 Image Formation Terminology upright image An image that appears to be right-side-up with respect to the object. inverted image An image that appears to be upside-down with respect to the object. The image in a flat mirror is upright. focal length, f The distance from the optical device to where a set parallel rays striking the device head on (perpendicularly) will be focused. For a flat mirror, the f is infinite.

The(36.1) image is also represented by an arrow, but it may be to the left or right, pointing up or down depending on how the image is formed.

Images formed by Spherical Mirrors: Concave Mirrors If the rays diverge from O at small angles, they all reflect through the same image point I. Center of curvature R Mirror C Mirror C Principal axis V O I a b

12 Assumption: paraxial rays In studying curved mirrors and thin lenses we assume that all rays are paraxial rays. Paraxial rays are rays close to the principle optical axis of our optical device. (Rays that strike close to the middle.) For a spherical lens, rays that strike further from the axis are not focused to the same point (spherical aberation).

13 Mirror Equation and Thin Lens Equation The same equation can help us to find the location and magnification of the image that will be formed by curved mirrors and thin lenses. 1 f = 1 p + 1 q

14 Spherical Concave Mirrors Focal Length For a spherical concave mirror of radius R f = R 2

15 Spherical Concave Mirrors The focal point is where the detectors are place on satellite dishes and radio telescopes. 1 Parkes telescope in Australia.

16 Concave Mirrors and the Mirror Equation Simple geometry shows why the mirror equation is true for a e Formation concave mirror. The real image lies at the location at which the reflected rays cross. h O a C a I h' u u V Principal axis q R p Figure 36.9 The image formed by a spherical concave mirror when the object O lies outside the center of curvature C. This geometric construction is used to derive Equation We will use this ray diagram.

17 Ray Diagrams for Spherical Mirrors For a ray diagram: draw at least two rays that you know the path of accurately. For Spherical mirrors: 1 Draw a ray from the top of the object parallel to the principle axis reflected through the focal point F. 2 Draw a ray from the top of the object through the focal point and reflected parallel to the principal axis. 3 Draw a ray from the top of the object through the center of curvature C and reflected back on itself. Where the lines meet, an image is formed.

18 e Formation Concave Mirrors and the Mirror Equation The real image lies at the location at which the reflected rays cross. h O a C a I h' u u V Principal axis q R p Figure 36.9 The image formed by a spherical concave mirror when the object O lies outside the center of curvature C. This geometric construction is used to derive Equation The angles of incidence and reflection are the same magnitude, θ. negative So, sign h h = is introduced q p, and because the image is inverted, so h9 is taken to be negative. Therefore, from Equation 36.1 and M = these q results, we find that the magnification of the image is p

19 Concave Mirrors and the Mirror Equation Looking at the green triangle and the red triangle with angle α: h R q = h p R which rearranges to h h = p R p R Using our magnification expression: q p = p R p R

20 Concave Mirrors and the Mirror Equation q p = p R p R Cross-multiplying and rearranging gives 2 R = 1 p + 1 q However, we already concluded that f = R/2, so 1 f = 1 p + 1 q We have confirmed the mirror equation for spherical concave mirrors, and it follows from simple geometry.

21 not derive any equations for convex spherical mirrors because Eq.4, Convex and 36.6 Mirrors can be used for either concave or convex mirrors if we t sign convention. We will refer to the region in which light rays or e toward the mirror as the front side of the mirror and the other sid We can draw the ray diagrams for convex mirrors in the same way. The image formed by the object is virtual, upright, and behind the mirror. Front Back O I F C q p

22 When the object is located between the focal point and a concave mirror surface, the image is virtual, upright, and enlarged.

For paraxial rays (unlike the relatively large-angle ray shown in Fig ), the horizontal legs of these triangles are approximately p for the triangle containing angle a, R for the triangle β containing = γ + angle θ 2 b, and (3) q for the triangle containing angle g. In the small-angle approximation, tan u < u, so we can write the approximate relationships from these triangles as follows: Multiply (2) by n 1 and (3) by n 2, add them and subtract (1): tan a < a < d tan b < b < d tan g < g < n d 2 β p= n 1 α + n 1 β R + n 2 γ q Substituting these expressions into Equation 36.7 and dividing through by d gives Rearranging: n 1 n 1 α + n 2 γ = (n 2 n 1 )β p 1 n 2 q 5 n 2 2 n 1 R (36.8) Relation betw image distanc

42 Images Formed by Thin Lenses We will derive the thin lens equation 1 f = 1 p + 1 q (Notice it is the same as the mirror equation!) And the lens maker s equation 1 f ( 1 = (n 1) 1 ) R 1 R 2 We do this by considering each side of the lens as a refracting surface.

49 Relate the original object to the final image surface 1 surface n = n 1 (2) p 1 q 1 R 1 n ( q 1 + t) + 1 q 2 = 1 n R 2 For a thin lens, t is negligible, so take it to be zero. n q q 2 = 1 n R 2 (3) Add equation (2) to equation (3) to get ( 1 = (n 1) 1 ) p 1 q 2 R 1 R 2

50 Thin Lens Equation Lastly, measure the object distance to be p = p 1 + t/2 and q = q 2 + t/2. Since t is effectively zero, we have: 1 p + 1 ( 1 = (n 1) 1 ) q R 1 R 2 The RHS is the inverse of the focal length (lens maker s equation) This gives the thin lens equation 1 f ( 1 = (n 1) 1 ) R 1 R 2 1 p + 1 q = 1 f

58 Ray Diagrams for Converging Lenses Again, draw rays whose behavior we know. Rays parallel to the principle axis are refracted through the focal point. Rays that travel through the center of the lens are (effectively) not refracted. For Converging Lenses: 1 Draw a ray from the top of the object parallel to the principle axis refracted through the focal point F. 2 Draw a ray from the top of the object through the focal point (or back to the focal point) and refracted parallel to the principal axis. 3 Draw a ray from the top of the object through the center of the lens, and continuing in a straight line.
