Ray tracing: spherical concave mirror The three “principal rays” to construct an
image for a spherical concave mirror are– the p-ray, which travels parallel to the
principal axis, then reflects through focus.– the f-ray, which travels through focus, then
reflects back parallel to the principal axis.– the c-ray, which travels through center, then
reflects back through center. You must draw two of the three You must draw two of the three

What’s the difference between a REAL and a VIRTUAL image?
A REAL image is on the SAME SIDE of the mirror as the object making the
image.
The Mirage demo creates a real image. Usually you need to project the REAL image onto a screen so you can see it.
Like Alice in Wonderland objects not in the mirror (in Wonderland) are REAL or in the REAL world.
What’s the difference between a REAL and a VIRTUAL image?
A VIRTUAL image we trace the rays back to a point where the rays appear to diverge.
The image appears to be on the opposite side of the reflective surfac

The speed of light in plastic is 2.00 x 108 m/s. What is the index of refraction of plastic?
n = ?v = 2.00 x 108m/sc = 3.00 x 108 m/sn = 3.00 x 108 m/s / 2.00 x 108m/s
n = 1.5

Notes – Refraction/Snell’s Law When light passes from one medium into another,o part of the incident light is reflected at the boundary and
o the remainder passes into the new medium-if the ray enters the new medium at an angle (other than perpendicular), the ray bends as it enters.
A ray of light traveling through air is incident upon a sheet of crown glass at an angle of 30o. What is the angle of refraction?
ni sin i = nr sin r
ni = 1.00
i = 30o
nr = 1.52 (1.00)(sin 30o) = (1.52)(sin r)
r = ?? 0.500 = sin r
1.52r = 19.2o
Sample ProblemSample Problem
When light passes from one material into a second material where the index of refraction is less (say, from water into air) light bends away from the normal.
At a particular incident angle, the angle of refraction will be 90o, and the refracted ray will skim the surface. The angle of incidence at which this occurs is called the critical angle.

The arrangement shown at the left is thicker in the middle and converges the light. The arrangement at the right, however, is thinner in the middle than at the edges; it diverges light
The thin lens equations are the same as the mirror equations.
However, there are different sign conventions that go along with using the equation for lenses.
