a) The position of the image; b) Magnification; c) Size of the image. By using results of calculations describe the image: real/virtual, upright/inverted, increased/decreased Draw a diagram of principal rays showing the formation of the image, show focal points. Describe the image and compare it with results of calculations.
Refraction of Light
Refraction is a change in the direction of light rays when they travel from one medium to another. It is the bending of light when it goes through different media.
Angle of Refraction
Light is considered by many scientists to have dual nature, both particle nature and wave nature. First, Particle nature is one in which we consider a stream of packets of energy called photons. Second, Wave nature is considering light as electromagnetic radiation whereas part of it is perceived by humans. Visible spectrum defined by humans lies in a range of 400 to 700 nm wavelengths.
Index of Refraction of Diamond
Diamond, the world’s hardest naturally occurring material and mineral known, is a solid form of the element carbon. The atoms are arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. They exist in a huge variety of colours. Also, they are one of the best conductors of heat and have a very high melting point.
A concave spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of 12.5 cm. The size
of the object is 5.40 mm tall, and distance from the mirror is 9.00 cm. For
this problem give all distances in centimeters.
Using formulas for mirror calculate:
a) The position of the image; b) Magnification; c) Size of the image.
By using results of calculations describe the image:
real/virtual, upright/inverted, increased/decreased
Draw a diagram of principal rays showing the formation of the image, show
focal points. Describe the image and compare it with results of calculations.
