Study Notes
Concave Lenses
- Produce virtual, upright, and smaller images
- Image is on the same side of the lens as the object
Convex Lenses
- Produce a virtual, upright, and enlarged image only if the object is within the focal length of the lens
Power in Diopters
- To calculate power in diopters, convert focal length to meters and take the reciprocal
- Equation: 1 / focal length (meters) = power (diopters)
Camera Lens
- A camera lens with a 50.0 mm focal length has a power of 20 diopters.
Reading Glasses
- Reading glasses with a power of 1.75 D have a focal length of 570 mm.
Image Formation by Mirrors
- Mirrors form images similar to lenses
- Images can be magnified or smaller than the object
- The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
Concave Mirrors
- Have a positive focal length
- Produce a virtual, upright, and enlarged image only when the object is placed between the mirror and its focal point
- Image appears behind the mirror, further away from the mirror than the object
- The focal length is half the radius of curvature
- Equation: f = R / 2
Convex Mirrors
- Have a negative focal length
- Always produce a virtual, upright, and smaller image
- Image appears behind the mirror, closer to the mirror than the actual object
Diverging Lens
- Always produces a virtual, upright, and smaller image
- Image forms on the same side of the lens as the object
- Image appears to be located at a point where the diverging rays from the lens seem to originate when traced backward
Image Types and Magnification
- Real Image: Formed when light rays actually converge at the image point, can be projected onto a screen
- Virtual Image: Formed when light rays appear to converge at the image point, but don't actually meet there, cannot be projected
- Magnification: Ratio of the image height to the object height
- Positive Magnification: Upright image
- Negative Magnification: Inverted image
- |m| > 1: Enlarged Image
- |m| < 1: Reduced Image
- |m| = 1: Neither Enlarged or Reduced
Geometric Optics
- Study of the behavior of light based on the ray model
- Light travels in straight lines, called rays
- Two key principles: Law of reflection and Law of refraction
Law of Reflection
- Light bounces off a surface at the same angle it strikes the surface
- Explains how mirrors reflect light and create images
Law of Refraction
- Light changes direction when it passes from one medium to another
- The change in direction depends on the change in the speed of light
- The index of refraction (n) describes how much the speed of light decreases in a material
- Equation: n = c / v, where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material
Speed of Light
- The speed of light in a vacuum is a fundamental constant
- Value: c = 2.99792458 x 10^8 m/s
- The speed of light in a material is always less than the speed of light in a vacuum
- The speed of light depends on the type of material
