Properties of Curved Mirrors and Lenses

Concave Mirror

Convex Mirror

LENSES

Converging Diverging

F F

CONVERGING LENS

Ray parallel to axis through F

Ray through F parallel to axis

Ray through center of lens no bending

Diverging Lens – smaller virtual image inside of F

Mirror & Lens Equations

1 1 1-- + -- = --do di f

di POSITIVE for REAL image NEGATIVE for VIRTUAL image

f POSITIVE for Concave Mirror CONVERGING lens NEGATIVE for Convex Mirror DIVERGING lens

Si - di

M = -- = -- So do

M = magnification

Si = size of image

So = size of object
