State laws of reflection Laws of reflection state: L.O The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane. The angle of incidence, i equal the angle of reflection, r as shown in figure below Sketch and use ray diagrams to determine the characteristics of image formed by spherical mirrors L.O 7..3 Use for real object only A spherical mirror is a reflecting surface with spherical geometry. Two types: i. Convex, if the reflection takes place on the outer surface of the spherical shape. ii. Concave, if the reflecting surface is on the inner surface of the sphere. C : centre of curvature of the surface mirror. P : centre of the surface mirror (vertex or pole). Line CP : principal or optical axis. AB : aperture of the mirror. F : focal point of the mirror. f : focal length (FP, distance between focal point and the centre of the mirror). r : radius of curvature of the mirror. BP3 FYSL

2 Ray diagrams for spherical mirrors: Ray diagram is defined as the simple graphical method to indicate the positions of the object and image in a system of mirrors or lenses. Table below shows the conditions for ray diagram: Ray Ray 2 Ray 3 A ray parallel to the principal axis passes through or diverges from the focal point F after reflection. A ray which passes through or is directed towards the focal point F is reflected as a ray parallel to the principal axis. A ray which passes through or is directed towards the centre of curvature C will be reflected back along the same path. At least any two rays for drawing the ray diagram. BP3 2 FYSL

8 7.2 Refraction at a Plane and Spherical Surfaces L.O 7.2. State and use the laws of refraction (Snell s Law) for layers of materials with different densities Refraction is defined as the changing of direction of a light ray and its speed of propagation as it passes from one medium into another. Refraction at a plane Laws of refraction state: The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal all lie in the same plane. For two given media, sin i sin r n 2 constant n or n sin i n2 sin r Snell s Law where n : refractive index of medium (medium containing incident ray) n 2 : refractive index of medium 2 (medium containing refracted ray) n < n 2 (Medium is less dense medium 2) n > n 2 (Medium is denser than medium 2) The light ray is bent toward the normal The light ray is bent away from the normal Special cases: i = critical angle i > critical angle i = 0 (Must be from denser to less dense medium) BP3 8 FYSL

9 Refractive index (index of refraction) sin i Definition is defined as the constant ratio sin r for the two given media. The value of refractive index depends on the type of medium and the colour of the light. It is dimensionless and its value greater than. Consider the light ray travels from medium into medium 2, the refractive index can be denoted by (Medium containing the incident ray) n 2 velocity of velocity of (Medium containing the refracted ray) light in medium v light in medium 2 v If medium is vacuum, then the refractive index is called absolute refractive index, written as: 2 n velocity of velocity of light in vacuum light in medium c v Relationship between refractive index and the wavelength of light: As light travels from one medium to another, its wavelength, changes but its frequency, f remains constant. The wavelength changes because of different material. The frequency remains constant because the number of wave cycles arriving per unit time must equal the number leaving per unit time so that the boundary surface cannot create or destroy waves. By considering a light travels from medium (n ) into medium 2 (n 2 ), the velocity of light in each medium is given by v f and v2 f2 The refractive index can be written as: wavelength of light in vacuum n 0 wavelength of light in medium Other equation for absolute refractive index in term of depth is given by n real depth apparent depth BP3 9 FYSL

(Given the speed of light in vacuum is m s -.) Answer: s A small strip of paper is pasted on one side of a glass sphere of radius 5 cm. The paper is then view from the opposite surface of the sphere. Find the position of the image. (Given refractive index of glass =.52 and refractive index of air=.00) Answer : cm in front of the concave surface (second refracting surface) A point source of light is placed at a distance of 25.0 cm from the centre of a glass sphere of radius 0 cm. Find the image position of the source. (Given refractive index of glass =.50 and refractive index of air=.00) Answer : 28 cm at the back of the concave surface (second refracting surface) BP3 2 FYSL

13 7.3 Thin lenses L.O 7.3. Sketch and use ray diagrams to determine the characteristic of image formed by concave and convex lenses Thin lens is defined as a transparent material with two spherical refracting surfaces whose thickness is thin compared to the radii of curvature of the two refracting surfaces. Thin lenses are divided into two types: i. Convex (Converging) lens which are thicker at the centre than the edges ii. Concave (Diverging) lens which are thinner at the centre then at the edges Both convex and concave lenses have two refractive surfaces of radii of curvature r and r 2 with their respective centre of curvatures at C and C 2 : Centre of curvature (point C and C 2 ) is defined as the centre of the sphere of which the surface of the lens is a part. Radius of curvature (r and r 2 ) is defined as the radius of the sphere of which the surface of the lens is a part. Principal (Optical) axis is defined as the line joining the two centres of curvature of a lens. Optical centre (point O) is defined as the point at which any rays entering the lens pass without deviation. BP3 3 FYSL

14 Table below shows the conditions for ray diagram: Ray Ray 2 Ray 3 Ray which is parallel to the principal axis will be deflected by the lens towards/ away from the focal point F. Ray passing through the optical centre is un-deflected. Ray which passes through the focal point (convex lens) or appear to converge to the focal point (concave lens) becomes parallel to the principal axis after emerging from lens. At least any two rays for drawing the ray diagram. BP3 4 FYSL

BP3 6 FYSL

17 If the medium is air, then the lens maker s equation can be written as f n r r2 Linear magnification of the spherical mirror, m is defined as the ratio between image height, h i and object height, h o. m h h i 0 v u m is a positive value if the image formed is upright and it is negative if the image formed is inverted. Since u v f, the linear magnification equation can be written as u v f v v m f Table below shows the sign convention for both lens maker s equation and thin lens equation: Physical Quantity Positive sign (+) Negative sign (-) Object Distance, u Image Distance, v Radius of curvature, r Real object (the object is on the same side of the spherical surface from where the light is coming) Real image (the image is on the opposite side of the spherical surface from where the light is coming) Convex surface (the center of curvature is on the the opposite side of the spherical surface from where the light is coming) Virtual object (the object is on the opposite side of the spherical surface from where the light is coming) Virtual image (the image is on the same side of the spherical surface from where the light is coming) Concave surface (the center of curvature is on the the same side of the spherical surface from where the light is coming) Focal length, f Converging lenses Diverging lenses Object/ Image Height, h Upright image Inverted image BP3 7 FYSL

18 Combination of Two Convex Lenses Many optical instruments, such as microscopes and telescopes, use two converging lenses together to produce an image. In both instruments, the st lens (closest to the object)is called the objective and the 2 nd lens (closest to the eye) is referred to as the eyepiece or ocular. The image formed by the st lens is treated as the object for the 2 nd lens and the final image is the image formed by the 2 nd lens. The position of the final image in a two lenses system can be determined by applying the thin lens formula to each lens separately. The overall magnification of a two lenses system is the product of the magnifications of the separate lenses. m m m 2 where m : magnification due to the first lens m 2 : magnification due to the second lens BP3 8 FYSL
