This is called a convex mirror.

The photos below show parallel light rays entering two different lenses.

The left lens, called a converging lens, causes the rays to refract toward the optical axis.

The right lens, called a diverging lens, refracts parallel rays away from the optical axis.

Lenses

4/28/2014 PHYS 132 18

A converging lens is thicker in the center than at the edges.

The focal length f is the distance from the lens at which rays parallel to the optical axis converge.

The focal length is a property of the lens, independent of how the lens is used.

Converging Lenses

4/28/2014 PHYS 132 19

A diverging lens is thicker at the edges than in the center.

The focal length f is the distance from the lens at which rays parallel to the optical axis appear to diverge.

The focal length is a property of the lens, independent of how the lens is used.

The image can be either larger or smaller than the object, depending on the location and focal length of the lens.

The lateral magnification m is defined as:

A positive value of m indicates that the image is upright relative to the object.

A negative value of m indicates that the image is inverted relative to the object.

The absolute value of m gives the size ratio of the image and object: h′/h = |m|.

Lateral Magnification

4/28/2014 PHYS 132 34

Consider a converging lens for which the object is inside the focal point, at distance s < f.

You can see all three rays appear to diverge from point P′.

Point P′ is an upright, virtual image of the object point P.

Virtual Images

4/28/2014 PHYS 132 35

You can “see” a virtual image by looking through the lens. This is exactly what you

do with a magnifying glass, microscope or binoculars.

• A “close-up” of a ray: a plane wave

It’s hard to picture EM waves in 3D

• Let’s build some intuition by working through a simpler example.

(treating the height of the surface only –that moves up and down – transvers to the wave motion: the actual bits of water move in small circles)

What a difference a slit makes

The big deal here is that opening an additional slitmakes it darker in some places. No way this happens in either the ray or photon model.

4/28/2014 PHYS 132 55

Diffraction of Light

When red light passes through an opening that is only 0.1 mm wide, it does spread out.

Diffraction of light is observable if the hole is sufficiently small.

The Width of a Single-Slit Diffraction Pattern

The central maximum of this single-slit diffraction pattern is much brighter than the secondary maximum.

The width of the central maximum on a screen a distance L away is twice the spacing between the dark fringes on either side:

The farther away from the screen (larger L), the wider the pattern of light becomes.

The narrower the opening (smaller a), the wider the pattern of light becomes!
