11 OPTICS Unit REFLECTION OF LIGHT All light obeys the law of reflection. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence, θ i, is equal to the angle of reflection, θ r. Both angles are measured with respect to the normal line, N, as shown below. Light reflection from a smooth surface is called regular or specular reflection. An example of specular reflection is found when a lazer reflects off the smooth surface of a mirror. In this case, the angle of incidence will equal the angle of reflection on the macroscopic scale. Light reflection from a rough or irregular surface is called diffuse reflection. As shown in the figure below, each ray of light obeys the law of reflection, but as a whole, the light appears to scatter randomly. 7.2 FLAT MIRRORS A flat mirror reflects light rays in the same order as they approach it. Flat mirrors are made from pieces of plate glass that have been coated on the back with a reflecting material such as silver or aluminum. The image is the same size as the object, and the image is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. Notice that the images formed by a flat mirror are reflections of real objects. These images are not real because no light passes through them. The images which appear to the eye to be formed by rays of light but which in truth do not exist are called virtual images. Conversely, real images are formed when rays of light intersect at a single point. 7.3 CURVED MIRRORS A curved mirror is a mirror that may be thought of as a portion of a reflecting sphere. It has a center of curvature, C, equal to the radius, R. The focal length, f, of the mirror is half the radius: f = 1 2 R If the inside of the spherical surface is the reflecting surface, the mirror is said to be concave or converging. If the outside portion is the reflecting surface, the mirror is convex or diverging. UNIT 7: OPTICS 136

12 7.4 GEOMETRICAL OPTICS The best method of understanding the formation of images by mirrors is through geometrical optics or ray tracing. The three principal rays are: Ray 1 Ray 2 Ray 3 A ray parallel to the mirror axis passes through the focal point of a concave mirror or seems to come from the focal point of a convex mirror. A ray that passes through the focal point of a concave mirror or proceeds toward the focal point of a convex mirror is reflected parallel to the mirror axis. A ray that proceeds along a radius of the mirror is reflected back along its original path. Image Characteristics 1. Size: Is the image greater (enlarged), smaller (reduced) or the same size as the object? 2. Position: Is the image inverted (upside down) or upright? 3. Nature: Is the image on the same side as the object (real image) or is it on the other side of the mirror (virtual image)? Concave Mirror 1. Pick a point on the top of the object and draw one incident ray traveling parallel towards the mirror. 2. Reflect that ray through the focal point F.

This is Ray Where the two rays intersect, mark the image of the top of the object with a dot and complete the image. 6. Write down the three characteristics of the image. Convex Mirror 1. Pick a point on the top of the object and draw one incident ray traveling parallel towards the mirror. 2. Reflect that ray as it seems to come from the focal point F inside the mirror. This is Ray Draw one incident ray traveling through C inside the mirror. This is Ray Where the two rays intersect, mark the image of the top of the object with a dot and complete the image. 5. Write down the three characteristics of the image. UNIT 7: OPTICS 137

(An exception is an electromagnetic wave such as light and radio waves which can travel through a vacuum.) A wave carries energy, but does not transport matter. Examples of mechanical waves include water waves, waves on a string, and sound waves. There are two types of mechanical waves: transverse and longitudinal. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move up and down perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Waves that travel down a stretched string when one end is shaken are transverse. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move back and forth in the same direction as the wave. For example, when one end of a coiled spring is pulled and released like a slinky the resulting wave is longitudinal. Sound waves are also longitudinal. The period, T, of a wave is the time required for one complete wave to pass a given point. The frequency, f, is the number of waves that pass that point per second. The amplitude, A, of a wave is the maximum displacement of the particles of the medium through which the wave passes on either side of their equilibrium positions. In a transverse wave, the amplitude is half the distance between the maximum and minimum positions. The wavelength, λ (lambda), of a wave is the distance between adjacent wave crests. We can find the velocity of a wave by relating it to the velocity equation: v = x t = λ T = λf The speed of a mechanical wave is constant in a given medium. The amplitude of a wave does not affect its wavelength, frequency, or velocity. CLASSWORK 15. Transverse waves traveling along a rope have a frequency of 12 Hz and are 2.40 m long.

The wave speed equation is: c = fλ where c is the speed of light ( m/s). The bending of a ray of light as it passes from one medium to another is called refraction. The speed of light c in a material is generally less than the free-space velocity of m/s. In water, light travels about three-fourths of its velocity in air. Light travels about two-thirds as fast in glass. The ratio of the velocity, c, of light in a vacuum to the velocity, v, of light in a particular medium is called the index of refraction, n. n = c v And finally, Snell s law states that the ratio of the sine of the incident angle to the sine of the refracted angle is constant. n 1sinθ 1 = n 2sinθ 2 n 1: index of refraction of the incident medium n 2: index of refraction of the second medium Medium n vacuum 1.00 air 1.00 water 1.33 ethanol 1.36 crown glass 1.52 quartz 1.54 flint glass 1.61 diamond 2.42 CLASSWORK 31.

The two main types of lenses are convex and concave lenses. The focal length, f, of a lens depends on its shape and its index of refraction. A converging (convex) lens is thick in the center and thin at the edges. Below is a figure diagraming the anatomy of a lens. A diverging (concave) lens is thin in the center and thick at the edges. UNIT 7: OPTICS 156

32 7.9 IMAGE FORMATION BY LENSES The three principal rays are: Ray 1 Ray 2 Ray 3 A ray parallel to the axis passes through the far focal point of a converging lens or appears to come from the near focal point of a diverging lens. A ray which passes through the near focal point of a converging lens or proceeds toward the far focal point of a diverging lens is refracted parallel to the lens axis. A ray through the geometrical center of a lens will not be deviated. A real image is always formed on the side of the lens opposite to the object. A virtual image will appear to be on the same side of the lens as the object. Principal Rays for Convex Lenses Principal Rays for Concave Lenses CLASSWORK 41.
