The document discusses ray diagrams, the mirror equation, and the magnification equation for determining the location and size of images formed by mirrors. The mirror equation relates the focal length, object distance, and image distance. The magnification equation relates the image height, object height, and distances. Sign conventions are provided for spherical mirrors. An example problem demonstrates using the equations to find the location and size of an image formed by a concave mirror.

Sign Conventions for Spherical Mirrors • Focal length f is + for a concave mirror f is – for a convex mirror • Object distance do is + if obj is real (in front of mirror) do is – if obj is virtual (behind the mirror) Sign Conventions for Spherical Mirrors • Image distance di is + if image is real (in front of mirror) di is – if image is virtual (behind the mirror) • Magnification m is + if the image is upright (w/r/t object) m is – if the image is inverted (w/r/t obj) Example 1 • A 2.0 cm high object is placed 7.10cm from a concave mirror whose radius of curvature is 10.20 cm. • A) find the location of the image • B) find the size of the image Example 1 • A 2.0 cm high object is placed 7.10cm from a concave mirror whose radius of curvature is 10.20 cm. • f=1/2R = ½(10.20)=5.10cm, so the object is located between the center of curvature and the focal point. Example 1 • A 2.0 cm high object is placed 7.10cm from a concave mirror whose radius of curvature is 10.20 cm. • f=1/2R = ½(10.20)=5.10cm • do= 7.10 cm and f=5.10cm 1 1 1 • + = 𝑑𝑜 𝑑𝑖 𝑓 1 1 1 • = − 1/di = 1/5.10 – 1/7.10 𝑑𝑖 𝑓 𝑑𝑜 • di = 18 cm (so image is real) Example 1 • A 2.0 cm high object is placed 7.10cm from a concave mirror whose radius of curvature is 10.20 cm. ℎ𝑖 𝑑𝑖 •𝑚= =− ℎ𝑜 𝑑𝑜 𝑑𝑖 • ℎ𝑖 = − (ℎ𝑜) 𝑑𝑜 • =-(18cm/7.10cm)(2.0cm) = -5.1cm • Image is inverted (negative sign)
