The Reflection of LightIf a stone is dropped into a pond, circular waves emanate from the point where it landed. Rays, perpendicular to the wave fronts, give the direction in which the waves propagate.

As one moves farther from a point wave source, the wave fronts become more nearly flat.

Reflection• Reflection occurs when light bounces
off a surface.• There are two types of reflection:

Mirrors are great reflectors.
![Page 7: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Law of “REFLECTION”The Law of Reflection states that- " the angle of
incidence (incoming ray) equals the angle of reflection (outgoing ray)"
The law works for FLAT, PLANE surfaces only.
The angles are measured from a perpendicular line to the surface called a NORMAL.

A ray of light reflects from a plane mirrorwith an angle of incidence of 37o. If the
mirror is rotated by an angle of 5o, throughwhat angle is the reflected ray rotated?

Forming Images with a Plane MirrorLight reflected from the flower and vase hits the mirror. Obeying the law of reflection, it enters the eye. The eye interprets the ray as having had a straight-line path, and sees the image behind the mirror.

Properties of Mirror Images Produced by Plane Mirrors:
• A mirror image is upright, but appears reversed right to left.
• A mirror image appears to be the same distance behind the mirror that the object is in front of the mirror.
• A mirror image is the same size as the object.
![Page 15: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Virtual ImagesVirtual Images are basically images which cannot be
visually projected on a screen.If this box gave off light, we could project an image of this box on to a screen provided the screen was on the SAME SIDE as the box.
You would not be able to project the image of the vase or your face in a mirror on a screen, therefore it is a virtual image.
CONCLUSION: VIRTUAL IMAGES are ALWAYS on the OPPOSITE side of the mirror relative to the object.

A corner reflector reflects light parallel to the incident ray, no matter the
incident angle.

26-3 Spherical MirrorsA spherical mirror has the shape of a section of a sphere. If the outside is mirrored, it is convex; if the inside is mirrored, it is concave.
![Page 20: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Spherical mirrors have a central axis (a radius of the sphere) and a center of curvature (the center of the sphere).
![Page 21: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Spherical Mirrors – Concave & Convex
Also called CONVERGING mirrorAlso called DIVERGING mirror
![Page 22: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Parallel rays hitting a spherical mirror come together at the focal point (or appear to have come from the focal point, if the mirror is convex).
![Page 23: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Converging (Concave) MirrorA converging mirror is one that is spherical in nature by which it
can FOCUS parallel light rays to a point directly in front of its surface. Every spherical mirror can do this and this special point is at a “fixed” position for every mirror. We call this point the FOCAL POINT. To find this point you MUST use light from “infinity”
Light from an “infinite” distance, most likely the sun.
![Page 25: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Converging (Concave) MirrorSince the mirror is spherical it technically has a CENTER OF CURVATURE, C. The focal point happens to be HALF this distance.
We also draw a line through the center of the mirror and call it the PRINCIPAL AXIS.

26-4 Ray Tracing and the Mirror Equation
We use three principal rays in finding the image produced by a concave mirror.
• The parallel ray (P ray) reflects through the focal point.
• The focal ray (F ray) reflects parallel to the axis.
• The center-of-curvature ray (C ray) reflects back along its incoming path.

These three rays are illustrated here.

Rule One: Draw a ray, starting from the top of the object, parallel to the principal axis and then through “f” after reflection.

What do you notice about the three lines? THEY INTERSECT
The intersection is the location of the image.

Principal axisfCobject
After getting the intersection, draw an arrow down from the principal axis to the point of intersection. Then ask yourself these questions:
1) Is the image on the SAME or OPPOSITE side of the mirror as the object?Same, therefore it is a REAL IMAGE.2) Is the image ENLARGED or REDUCED?3) Is the image INVERTED or RIGHT SIDE UP?
![Page 33: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
26-3 Spherical Mirrors
For a convex mirror, the focal length is negative, as the rays do not go through the focal point. The opposite is true for a concave mirror.
![Page 34: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
26-3 Spherical MirrorsWe have made the assumption here that the rays do not hit the mirror very far from the principal axis. If they do, the image is blurred; this is called spherical aberration, and can be remedied by using a parabolic mirror instead.
![Page 35: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
26-3 Spherical Mirrors
When the Hubble Space Telescope was first launched, its optics were marred by spherical aberration. This was fixed with corrective optics.
![Page 36: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
26-4 Ray Tracing and the Mirror Equation
The process is similar for a concave mirror, although there are different results depending on where the object is placed.
![Page 37: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
26-4 Ray Tracing and the Mirror EquationThis image shows how these three rays are used to find the image formed by a convex mirror. The image is located where the projections of the three rays cross. The size of the image can also be determined.
![Page 38: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

26-4 Ray Tracing and the Mirror EquationWe derive the mirror equation using the ray diagrams:
![Page 40: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
26-4 Ray Tracing and the Mirror Equation
Using the similar triangles and the fact that f = ½ R, we get the mirror equation:
Here, do is the distance from the mirror to the object, di is the distance from the mirror to the image, and f is the focal length.
![Page 41: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

What does this tell us? First we know the image is BETWEEN “C” & “f”. Since the image distance is POSITIVE the image is a REAL IMAGE.
Real image = positive image distanceVirtual image = negative image distance
What about the size and orientation?

We can also find the magnification:

RefractionRefraction is based on the idea that LIGHT is passing
through one MEDIUM into another. The question is, WHAT HAPPENS?
Suppose you are running on the beach with a certain velocity when you suddenly need to run into the water. What happens to your velocity?
IT CHANGES!
![Page 48: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Refraction• Refraction is the movement of light from one
medium into another medium.– Refraction cause a change in speed of light as it
moves from one medium to another.– Refraction can cause bending of the light at the
interface between media.
![Page 49: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
26-5 The Refraction of LightLight moves at different speeds through different media. When it travels from one medium into another, the change in speed causes the ray to bend.
![Page 50: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
RefractionWhat EXACTLY is light doing when it reaches a new
medium? We don’t want you to think ALL of the light refracts.
Some of the light REFLECTS off the boundary and some of the light REFRACTS through the boundary.
Angle of incidence = Angle of Reflection
Angle of Incidence > or < the Angle of refraction depending on the direction of the light
![Page 51: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
26-5 The Refraction of Light
The angle of refraction is related to the different speeds:
The speed of light in a medium is given by the index of refraction of that medium:
![Page 52: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Refraction – Going from Air to Water
The index of refraction, n, for air (vacumm) is equal to 1. The index of refraction for water is 1.33.
If you are going from a LOW “n” to a HIGH “n”, your speed DECREASES and the angle BENDS TOWARDS the normal
![Page 53: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Refraction – Going from Water into AirThe index of refraction, n, for air (vacumm) is equal to 1. The index of refraction for water is 1.33.
If you are going from a HIGH “n” to a LOW “n”, your speed INCREASES and the angle BENDS AWAY the normal
Note: If the angles are EQUAL, then the “n” must be equal for each. The ray will pass straight through.
![Page 54: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
The Refraction of Light
Here are some typical indices of refraction:
![Page 55: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Snell’s LawA scientist by the name of Snell discovered that the ratios of the index’s and the ratio of the sine of the angles are the same value!
![Page 56: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Refraction can make objects immersed in water appear broken, and can create mirages.
![Page 57: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
If light enters a medium of lower index of refraction, it will be bent away from the normal. If the angle of incidence is large enough, the angle of refraction is 90°; at larger incident angles the light will be totally reflected.
![Page 58: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
This is called total internal reflection, and the incident angle at which the angle of refraction is 90° is called the critical angle, C. Total internal reflection is used in some binoculars and in optical fibers.

There is a special angle called Brewster’s angle; light reflected at this angle is totally polarized.
Reflected light is completely polarized when the reflected and refracted beams are at right angles to one another. The direction of polarization is parallel to the reflecting surface.

Brewster’s angle can be calculated using the appropriate geometry:

26-6 Ray Tracing for LensesLenses are used to focus light and form images. There are a variety of possible types; we will consider only the symmetric ones, the double concave and the double convex.
![Page 66: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
If we think of a convex lens as consisting of prisms, we can see how light going through it converges at a focal point (assuming the lens is properly shaped).

A concave lens can also be modeled by prisms:

Ray Tracing for Lenses
The three principal rays for lenses are similar to those for mirrors:
• The P ray—or parallel ray—approaches the lens parallel to its axis.
• The F ray is drawn toward (concave) or through (convex) the focal point.
• The midpoint ray (M ray) goes through the middle of the lens. Assuming the lens is thin enough, it will not be deflected. This is the thin-lens approximation.

The convex lens forms different image types depending on where the object is located with respect to the focal point:

Applications of Converging LensesObviously, converging lenses play an important role in our
lives as our eyes are these types of lenses. Often times we need additional corrective lenses to fix our vision.
In figure A, we see an eye which converges what we see on the retina.
In figure B, we see an eye which converges too LATE. The eye itself is often too short and results in the person being far sighted.
In figure C, we see an eye which converges too SOON. The eye itself is often too long and results in the person being near sighted
In the later 2 cases, a convex or concave lens is necessary to ensure the image is on the retina.

26-8 Dispersion and the RainbowThe index of refraction varies slightly with the frequency of light; in general, the higher the frequency, the higher the index of refraction.
This means that refracted light is “spread out” in a rainbow of colors; this phenomenon is known as dispersion.
![Page 93: Chapter 26 Geometrical Optics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56813653550346895d9dd97d/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
26-8 Dispersion and the Rainbow
Rainbows are created by the dispersion of light as it refracts in a rain drop.

Summary of Chapter 26• A wave front is a surface along which the wave phase is constant. Rays, perpendicular to the wave fronts, indicate the direction of propagation.
• The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
• The image formed by a plane mirror is upright, but appears reversed left to right; appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it; and is the same size as the object.

• Snell’s law:
• Light entering a medium of higher n is bent towards the normal; light entering a medium of lower n is bent away from the normal.
• When light enters a medium of lower n, there is a critical angle beyond which the light will be totally reflected.
