1 Image Formation with Concave Spherical Mirrors The figure shows a concave mirror, a mirror in which the edges curve toward the light source. Rays parallel to the optical axis reflect and pass through the focal point of the mirror. 4/28/2014 PHYS 132 1

2 A Spherical Mirror: Central Rays A few rays are easy to figure out where they go. All rays satisfy the angle of incidence = angle of reflection measured to the normal to the surface center of sphere All rays through the center strike the mirror perpendicular to the surface and bounce back along their incoming path. 4/28/2014 PHYS 132 2

16 Image Formation with Convex Spherical Mirrors The figure shows parallel light rays approaching a mirror in which the edges curve away from the light source. This is called a convex mirror. The reflected rays appear to come from a point behind the mirror. 4/28/2014 PHYS

17 A Real Image Formed by a Convex Mirror 4/28/2014 PHYS

18 Lenses The photos below show parallel light rays entering two different lenses. The left lens, called a converging lens, causes the rays to refract toward the optical axis. The right lens, called a diverging lens, refracts parallel rays away from the optical axis. 4/28/2014 PHYS

19 Converging Lenses A converging lens is thicker in the center than at the edges. The focal length f is the distance from the lens at which rays parallel to the optical axis converge. The focal length is a property of the lens, independent of how the lens is used. 4/28/2014 PHYS

20 Diverging Lenses A diverging lens is thicker at the edges than in the center. The focal length f is the distance from the lens at which rays parallel to the optical axis appear to diverge. The focal length is a property of the lens, independent of how the lens is used. 4/28/2014 PHYS

29 Image Formation The figure is a close-up view of the rays very near the image plane. To focus an image, you must either move the screen to coincide with the image plane or move the lens or object to make the image plane coincide with the screen. 4/28/2014 PHYS

34 Lateral Magnification The image can be either larger or smaller than the object, depending on the location and focal length of the lens. The lateral magnification m is defined as: A positive value of m indicates that the image is upright relative to the object. A negative value of m indicates that the image is inverted relative to the object. The absolute value of m gives the size ratio of the image and object: h /h = m. 4/28/2014 PHYS

35 Virtual Images Consider a converging lens for which the object is inside the focal point, at distance s < f. You can see all three rays appear to diverge from point P. Point P is an upright, virtual image of the object point P. 4/28/2014 PHYS

36 Virtual Images You can see a virtual image by looking through the lens. This is exactly what you do with a magnifying glass, microscope or binoculars. 4/28/2014 PHYS

72 Analyzing Single-Slit Diffraction The figure shows a wave front passing through a narrow slit of width a. According to Huygens principle, each point on the wave front can be thought of as the source of a spherical wavelet. 4/28/2014 PHYS

73 Single-Slit Diffraction The light pattern from a single slit consists of a central maximum flanked by a series of weaker secondary maxima and dark fringes. The dark fringes occur at angles: 4/28/2014 PHYS

74 The Width of a Single-Slit Diffraction Pattern The central maximum of this single-slit diffraction pattern is much brighter than the secondary maximum. The width of the central maximum on a screen a distance L away is twice the spacing between the dark fringes on either side: The farther away from the screen (larger L), the wider the pattern of light becomes. The narrower the opening (smaller a), the wider the pattern of light becomes! 4/28/2014 PHYS
