Electromagnetic Waves, continued

•   Electromagnetic waves vary depending on frequency and wavelength.

•   All electromagnetic waves move at the speed of light. The speed of light, c, equals

c = 3.00 × 108 m/s

•   Wave Speed Equation c = fλ

speed of light = frequency × wavelength

Electromagnetic Waves, continued

•   Waves can be approximated as rays. This approach to analyzing waves is called Huygens’ principle.

•   Lines drawn tangent to the crest (or trough) of a wave are called wave fronts.

•   In the ray approximation, lines, called rays, are drawn perpendicular to the wave front.



Electromagnetic Waves, continued •   Illuminance decreases as the square of the distance

from the source.

•   The rate at which light is emitted from a source is called the luminous flux and is measured in lumens (lm).

Section 2 Flat Mirrors Chapter 13

Objectives

•   Distinguish between specular and diffuse reflection of light.

•   Apply the law of reflection for flat mirrors.

•   Describe the nature of images formed by flat mirrors.



Reflection of Light

•   Reflection is the change in direction of an electromagnetic wave at a surface that causes it to move away from the surface.

•   The texture of a surface affects how it reflects light. –   Diffuse reflection is reflection from a rough, texture

surface such as paper or unpolished wood. –   Specular reflection is reflection from a smooth, shiny

surface such as a mirror or a water surface.



Reflection of Light, continued

•   The angle of incidence is the the angle between a ray that strikes a surface and the line perpendicular to that surface at the point of contact.

•   The angle of reflection is the angle formed by the line perpendicular to a surface and the direction in which a reflected ray moves.

•   The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are always equal.

Flat Mirrors

•   Flat mirrors form virtual images that are the same distance from the mirror’s surface as the object is.

•   The image formed by rays that appear to come from the image point behind the mirror—but never really do—is called a virtual image.

•   A virtual image can never be displayed on a physical surface.

Concave Spherical Mirrors

•   A concave spherical mirror is a mirror whose reflecting surface is a segment of the inside of a sphere.

•   Concave mirrors can be used to form real images.

•   A real image is an image formed when rays of light actually pass through a point on the image. Real images can be projected onto a screen.

Concave Spherical Mirrors, continued

•   The Mirror Equation relates object distance (p), image distance (q), and focal length (f) of a spherical mirror.




•   The Equation for Magnification relates image height or distance to object height or distance, respectively.

Ray Tracing for a Concave Spherical Mirror



Sample Problem

Imaging with Concave Mirrors A concave spherical mirror has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Locate the image of a pencil that is placed upright 30.0 cm from the mirror. Find the magnification of the image. Draw a ray diagram to confirm your answer.



Sample Problem, continued

Imaging with Concave Mirrors 1.  Determine the sign and magnitude of the focal

length and object size. f = +10.0 cm p = +30.0 cm

The mirror is concave, so f is positive. The object is in front of the mirror, so p is positive.




Imaging with Concave Mirrors 2. Draw a ray diagram using the rules for drawing

reference rays.




Imaging with Concave Mirrors 3. Use the mirror equation to relate the object and

image distances to the focal length.

4. Use the magnification equation in terms of object and image distances.




5. Rearrange the equation to isolate the image distance, and calculate. Subtract the reciprocal of the object distance from the reciprocal of the focal length to obtain an expression for the unknown image distance.




Substitute the values for f and p into the mirror equation and the magnification equation to find the image distance and magnification.




6.  Evaluate your answer in terms of the image location and size. The image appears between the focal point (10.0 cm) and the center of curvature (20.0 cm), as confirmed by the ray diagram. The image is smaller than the object and inverted (–1 < M < 0), as is also confirmed by the ray diagram. The image is therefore real.



Convex Spherical Mirrors

•   A convex spherical mirror is a mirror whose reflecting surface is outward-curved segment of a sphere.

•   Light rays diverge upon reflection from a convex mirror, forming a virtual image that is always smaller than the object.

Image Formation by a Convex Spherical Mirror




Sample Problem

Convex Mirrors An upright pencil is placed in front of a convex spherical mirror with a focal length of 8.00 cm. An erect image 2.50 cm tall is formed 4.44 cm behind the mirror. Find the position of the object, the magnification of the image, and the height of the pencil.




Convex Mirrors Given:

Because the mirror is convex, the focal length is negative. The image is behind the mirror, so q is also negative. f = –8.00 cm q = –4.44 cm h’ = 2.50 cm

Unknown: p = ? h = ?

Ray Tracing for a Convex Spherical Mirror



Parabolic Mirrors

•   Images created by spherical mirrors suffer from spherical aberration.

•   Spherical aberration occurs when parallel rays far from the principal axis converge away from the mirrors focal point.

•   Parabolic mirrors eliminate spherical aberration. All parallel rays converge at the focal point of a parabolic mirror.

Polarization of Light Waves

•   Linear polarization is the alignment of electro-magnetic waves in such a way that the vibrations of the electric fields in each of the waves are parallel to each other.

•   Light can be linearly polarized through transmission.
