Drawing Ray Diagrams

Concave and Convex Mirrors and Double Concave and Double

Convex Lenses

By Vincent Sapone

Concave Mirror

1. First ray goes parallel to the mirror and then reflects back down through the focus.

2. Second Ray goes through the focus and into the mirror and then reflected back parallel to

axis.3. Ray drawn to center of lens and reflects back

downwards at an equal angle (symmetric)4. If at or within the focal length you an draw a

line perpendicular to the mirror so that it goes back through itself and into the center of

curvature (R = 2f). This can replace the second ray above which now cannot be drawn.

Compare this to the First Example with no Image.

Why Didn’t that one have a virtual image?

Cannot Draw 3rd ray from Object through focus.

The Rays appear to be pretty much parallel.

Therefore they will not cross on either side so

there is no image, virtual or real.

Image is Real, upside down and demagnified.

Cosmetics

• This is a cosmetics mirror.

• Up close (do <f) you are right side up and appear magnified.

• As you move away your image will eventually invert and become smaller.

Convex Mirror

1. First ray goes parallel to the mirror and then reflects back up (dotted image line goes

through focus on the other side).2. Second Ray is aimed directly at the center of

curvature on the other side but once it hits the mirror it reflects back through itself with the

dotted image line going through C).3. Ray drawn aimed at focus on the other side

and reflect off the mirror parallel to the axis (dotted line drawn parallel in the other

direction)

Convex Mirror

• We shall now draw Convex Mirror Diagrams for the following cases:

• do>R• f<do>R

• do<f

Convex Mirror

• Distance to Object is greater than radius of curvature

Convex or Converging Lens

• For the Following Conditions

do=f f<do<2f do>2f do<f do=2f

• Note the lens thickness is to be assumed small so that refraction is not a concern.

Convex Lens Rules

• First ray is drawn parallel to principal axis until it strikes the center of the mirror. It then converged down on through the focal point on the other side of the lens.

• The second ray has a straight line drawn from the object to the focus to the lens on the same side and then it refracts parallel to the principal axis on the other side.

• The third ray is usually drawn in a direction from the object through the center of the lens itself into the other side.

Magnifying Glass

• This double convex lens is how a magnifying glass works.

• When at the focus (do=f) there is no image (very blurry).• When close (do<f) it magnifies an image which appears

normal (right side up).• As you move farther the image will appear to be upside

down buy magnified.• As you move even farther the image will stay inverted

but get smaller.

• Try it out next time you have a magnifying glass!!!!

Concave or Diverging Lens

• For the Following Conditions

do=f f<do<2f do>2f do<f

• Note the lens thickness is to be assumed small so that refraction is not a concern.

Rules for Concave Lenses

• 1st ray is drawn parallel to principle axis and hits the lens. It will refract upwards with its reversibility going through the focal point on the same side.

• 2nd ray is drawn from the object in a direction diagonal to the focal point on the other side but goes parallel to the principal axis once it crossed the lens.

• 3rd ray is drawn from the object straight through the center of the lens.

Concave or Diverging Lens

Ray 1

Rule One : Parallel to axis once it hits lens. Goes diagonally upwards with

reversisibility going through focus on same side.
