Light, Reflection, & Mirrors
Facts about Light
 It is a form of Electromagnetic Energy
 It is a part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum and the only part we
can really see
Facts about Light
The speed of light, c, is constant in a vacuum.
Light can be:
REFLECTED
ABSORBED
REFRACTED
Light is an electromagnetic wave in that it has wave like properties
which can be influenced by electric and magnetic fields.
To study the reflection of light, we
need a simple way to draw situations
we are interested in. A convenient
method is to use rays. A ray is an
arrow that points in the direction that
light travels.
The Reflection of Light
 The circles represent crests of the outgoing waves. The outward
motion of the waves is indicated by the outward-pointing arrows
the rays.
 Rays are always at right angles to the wave fronts.
 A similar situation applies to light and other electromagnetic waves,
as illustrated in the figure below.

Suppose, instead, that light travels from point A to a mirror, reflects
from the mirror, and then continues to point B. This situation is
shown in the figure below.
Which path should the light take if it is to get to B in the least time? That is, from which point
on the mirror should the light reflect?
This path is also the shortest possible reflecting path from A to B. The distances
(and travel times) along paths 1 and 3 are greater, as is shown in the figure below.

An interesting application of mirror images is the heads-
up display. An example from an airplane is shown in the
figure below.
If three plane mirrors are joined at right angles, as shown
in the figure below, the result is referred to as a corner
reflector.
A typical spherical mirror is just a
portion of a spherical shell of radius R.
The two situations are illustrated in
the figures below.

Several parallel rays are shown approaching a
convex mirror in the figure below.

Real Image
Real Images are ones you can project on to a screen.
For MIRRORS they always appear on the SAME SIDE of the mirror as the object.
object
image
The characteristics of the
image, however, may be
different from the original object.
These characteristics are:
SIZE (reduced,enlarged,same
size)
POSITION (same side,
opposite side)
ORIENTATION (right side up,
inverted)
What if the mirror isnt flat?
Spherical Mirrors  Concave & Convex
Also called CONVERGING mirror
Also called DIVERGING mirror
Converging (Concave) Mirror
A converging mirror is one that is spherical in nature
by which it can FOCUS parallel light rays to a point
directly in front of its surface. Every spherical mirror
can do this and this special point is at a fixed
position for every mirror. We call this point the
FOCAL POINT. To find this point you MUST use
light from infinity
Light from an infinite
distance, most likely the
sun.
Converging (Concave) Mirror
Since the mirror is
spherical it technically
has a CENTER OF
CURVATURE, C. The
focal point happens to
be HALF this distance.
We also draw a line through the
center of the mirror and call it the
PRINCIPAL AXIS.

Ray Diagram
A ray diagram is a pictorial representation of how the
light travels to form an image and can tell you the
characteristics of the image.
Principal axis

object
Rule One: Draw a ray, starting from the top of the object, parallel to the
principal axis and then through f after reflection.

Rule Two: Draw a ray, starting from the top of the object, through the focal
point, then parallel to the principal axis after reflection.

Rule Three: Draw a ray, starting from the top of the object, through C, then
back upon itself.
What do you notice about the three lines? THEY INTERSECT
The intersection is the location of the image.

object
After getting the intersection, draw an arrow down from the principal axis to
the point of intersection. Then ask yourself these questions:
1) Is the image on the SAME or OPPOSITE side of the mirror as the object?
Same, therefore it is a REAL IMAGE.
2) Is the image ENLARGED or REDUCED?
3) Is the image INVERTED or RIGHT SIDE UP?
Summary for Concave Mirror
When object is:
 Beyond C
 At C
 Between C and F
 At F
 Between F and mirror
Image is:
 Between C and
F
 At C
 Beyond C
 No image
 Virtual image
The Mirror/Lens Equation
Is there any OTHER way to predict image characteristics besides
the ray diagram? YES!
One way is to use the MIRROR/LENS equation to
CALCULATE the position of the image.

Mirror/Lens Equation
Assume that a certain concave spherical mirror has a
focal length of 10.0 cm. Locate the image for an
object distance of 25 cm and describe the images
characteristics.

What does this tell us? First we know the image is BETWEEN C & f. Since the
image distance is POSITIVE the image is a REAL IMAGE.
Real image = positive image distance
Virtual image = negative image distance
What about the size and orientation?
Magnification Equation
To calculate the orientation and size of the image we
use the MAGNIFICATION EQUATION.

Here is how this works:
If we get a POSITIVE magnification, the image is
UPRIGHT.
If we get a NEGATIVE magnification, the image is
INVERTED
If the magnification value is GREATER than 1, the
image is ENLARGED.
If the magnification value is LESS than 1, the image
is REDUCED.
If the magnification value is EQUAL to 1, the image
is the SAME SIZE as the object.
Using our previous data we see that our image was INVERTED, and REDUCED.
Example
Assume that a certain concave spherical mirror has a focal
length of 10.0 cm. Locate the image for an object distance of
5 cm and describe the images characteristics.

Magnification Equation To calculate the orientation and size of the image we use the MAGNIFICATION EQUATION. x M M h h d d M o i o i 67 . 0 25 67 . 16 Here is how this works: If we get a POSITIVE magnification, the image is UPRIGHT. If we get a NEGATIVE magnification, the image is INVERTED If the magnification value is GREATER than 1, the image is ENLARGED. If the magnification value is LESS than 1, the image is REDUCED. If the magnification value is EQUAL to 1, the image is the SAME SIZE as the object. Using our previous data we see that our image was INVERTED, and REDUCED.
