    GENERAL PHYSICS 2 –QUARTER 4


    TOPIC- Image Formation by a Spherical Mirror
    I. Introduction
    In your previous Physics lessons, you learned that a plane mirror
    produces an image that is the same size as the object. But there are
    many applications for mirrors in which the image and object must be of
    different sizes. A magnifying mirror is used when applying makeup gives
    an image that is larger than the object and surveillance mirrors (used in
    stores to help spot shoplifters) give an image that is smaller than the
    object. There are also applications of mirrors in which a real image is
    desired, so light rays do indeed pass through the image point. A plane
    mirror by itself cannot perform any of these. Instead, curved or spherical
    mirrors are used. In this lesson, you will learn the different characteristics of
    image formed by spherical mirrors.

    II. Most Essential Competency


    Determine graphically and mathematically the type, magnification,
    location, and orientation of image produced by spherical mirrors.

    III. Activities
    A. Elicit/Engage

    What kind of mirror is used in the given picture? How is


    the image formed?

    B. Explain/Elaborate

    Before we describe the images form by curved mirrors, let us first recall the
    concept of reflection of light. Reflection is the bouncing off light when it hits a barrier.
    Reflection from a plane mirror is called regular reflection. Images are formed by regular
    reflection from smooth surfaces such as a mirror. If an object is held in front of the plane
    mirror, an upright image is formed at an equal distance behind the mirror. When
    parallel rays of light strike a rough surface like a concrete wall, they are also reflected.
    However, the reflected rays may cross each other. The result is called irregular
    reflection. No clear image is formed in irregular reflection.

    Unlike plane mirrors, curved mirrors can focus light to produced images which
    are larger or smaller, upright or upside down, real or virtual. Curved mirrors are
    commonly made from sections of spheres. The type of curved mirror can be identified
    from which part you view the reflecting surface. If the mirrored surface is in the inside of
    a spherical surface, it is said to be a concave or converging mirror. Mirrors like these are
    usually found in woman’s beauty kit. Dentist’s mirrors and light reflectors are also
    concave mirrors. If the reflecting surface is on the outside of the sphere, it is said to be
    convex or diverging mirror. Side mirrors of vehicles are examples of convex mirror.

    Let us be acquainted with some terms that will be used in the lesson.
    Principal Axis, focal point, center of curvature, radius of curvature, vertex and focal
    length. If a concave mirror were thought of as being a slice of a sphere, then, there
    would be a line passing through the center of the sphere and attaching to the mirror.
    This line is known as the principal axis. The point in the center of the sphere from which
    the mirror was sliced is known as the center of curvature and is denoted by letter C. The
    point on the mirror’s surface where the principal axis meets the mirror is known as the
    vertex. The vertex is the geometric center of the mirror. Midway between the vertex
    and center of curvature is a point known as the focal point denoted by letter F. The
    distance from the vertex to the center of curvature is known as the radius of curvature
    represented by R. The distance from the mirror to the focal point is known as the focal
    length, represented by f. Since the focal point is the midpoint of the line segment
    adjoining the vertex and center of curvature, the focal length would be one-half of the
    radius of curvature.

    How do we determine the image formed by a concave mirror? Images formed by


    concave mirror can be located graphically using ray diagrams. Ray diagrams are
    useful in determining the location, size, orientation and type of
    image.
    To construct the ray diagram, remember that (1) any
    incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis will pass
    through the focal point upon reflection. (2) Any incident ray
    passing through the focal point on the way to the mirror will
    travel parallel to the principal axis.

    The intersection of the four rays is the image point corresponding to the object
    point. For example, if you started diagramming from the tip of the arrow-shaped object,
    the intersection of the reflected rays is also the tip of the arrow-shaped image. Thus, you
    can determine completely the position and characteristics of the image.

    What are the characteristics of the images formed by concave mirrors?


    Case 1. The object is located beyond the center of curvature(C )

    When the object is located beyond the center of curvature, the image will
    always be located somewhere in between the center of curvature and the focal point.
    The image is inverted and reduced in size. The image is a real image. Light rays actually
    converge at the image location.
    Case 2. The object is located at point C.

    When the object is located at point C, the image will also be located at C. In this case,
    the image will be inverted and of the same size as the object. A five foot object
    (tree/person) would have an image that is five feet tall.
    Case 3. The object is located between C and F
    When the object is located in front of the center of curvature, the image will be
    located beyond C. The image will be inverted, real and bigger than the object.

    Case 4. The object is located at F.

    When the object is located at F, no image is formed. Light rays from the same point on
    the object will reflect off the mirror and neither converge nor diverge. After reflecting,
    the light rays are travelling parallel to each other and do not result in the formation of
    an image.

    Case 5. The object is located in front of F.

    When the object is located in front of F, the image will always be located somewhere
    on the opposite side of the mirror. The image will always be located behind the mirror. It
    will be an upright image, virtual and bigger than the object.
    Concave mirrors produce images that are either upright or inverted, real or
    virtual, smaller, the same as, or bigger than the object. The characteristic of the image
    formed depends on the location of the object.

    How is an image formed in a convex mirror?

    Ray diagramming is also used to determine the characteristics of the image formed by
    convex mirror. Here are the principal rays in convex mirror.

    A ray of light parallel to the principal axis is reflected as if


    passing through the principal focus.

    1. A ray of light directed towards the focus, F, is


    reflected parallel to the principal axis.

    For a convex mirror, light rays diverge after reflection


    and converge from a point that seems to be behind the mirror. This is the location of the
    image.

    What are the characteristics of the image formed by convex mirror?

    Unlike concave mirrors, convex mirror always produce images that have these
    characteristics: It is located behind the convex mirror, upright, virtual and smaller than
    the object.

    The Mirror Equation provides a quantitative description of the image formed. It


    provides a relationship among focal length (f) , object’s distance (do), and image’s
    distance (di).

    1 1 1 di hi
    = + For the magnification, M = -
    f do di do = ho

    f is + : concave mirror
    -: convex mirror
    do is +: in front of the mirror
    -: behind the mirror
    di is +: real image
    - : virtual image
