chess piece. Answer the following questions. Is the image reduced or magnified? Is the image upright or inverted? What is the magnification ?
Information
-An incident ray that is parallel to the optical axis reflects as if it is originating from the focal point.
-An incident ray that moves towards the center reflects back on itself.
-An incident ray that moves towards the focal point reflects parallel to the optical axis.
1. Use the ray tracing rules to locate the image of the chess piece. If the rays do not seem to converge to the same point (but seem to diverge instead), extrapolate the rays to form an image. Notice that we only need to draw two of the principal rays in order to find the image of any point; you can choose any 2 of the 3 principal rays discussed above.
Draw two rays from the top of the chess piece, then find their intersection point. This will be the image of the top of the chess piece.
Repeat for two rays from the bottom of the chess piece.
