Introduction:
In lab 29, Mirrors and Lenses we observe the different characteristics of the mirrors and
lenses. Lenses and mirrors are found in all daily essential optical instruments, this includes
cameras, microscopes and telescopes.
For this lab superficially we will obtain the relationship
between the position of an object and the position of its image for a lens and a curved mirror. In
some instances, the image will be a real image, this means that the light is at the image location,
which allows it to be projected onto a screen. In another scenario, the image will be a virtual image,
which means that the light comes from the location of the image, but there is no actual light at
that location.
There will be one mirror and 2 different lenses that the stimulation allows for us to
visualize whether a real image is produced, or a virtual image is produced. The mirror that was
examined was specifically the concave spherical mirror. These mirrors show that light rays that
are parallel to the axis of the mirror converge after reflection from the mirror to the focal point. It
is found that light from a far-away object will form a real, inverted image in the focal plane. One
of the ways to determine where the image will be formed is by using the mirror equation, where f
is the focal point, p is the object distance and q is the image distance. A virtual image can be
formed by placing a luminous object closer to the mirror than the principal focus.
The first lens that was examined, is the Converging Lens. They can be identified by their
shape, This, is because they are relatively thick across their middle and thin at their lower and
upper edges. When the light rays converge, they will converge to a focal point. The second lenses
are the Diverging lenses, which could also be identified by their shape. Diverging lens are thin
across their middle and thick at their upper and lower edges. When the light rays diverge, then
the diverging rays can be traced backwards until they intersect a focal point. This is the reason
that they produce negative focal points.
Nomenclature
Variable, Abbreviation Description, Units of Measure
Image Distance, The distance from the image to the mirror.
Object Distance, p the distance from the luminous object to the mirror.
Focal Length, the distance from the center to the circumference of a circle. It is half
of the circle's diameter, cm.
Formulas Purpose 1/f = 1/p + 1/q
The mirror equation shows the quantitative correlation of
the object distance (p) the image distance (q) and the focal
length (f), cm.

Why was it hard to see your reflection after you crumpled up an aluminum foil?*
Only some intensity of the light is reflected, thus making it hard to see ourselves.
The ray of light will bounce back along the incident ray therefore no image will be formed.
The reflected ray of the light will be different from the angle of incidence.
The light is reflected in varying directions, making it hard for us to see ourselves.

Optics A diagram of a hyperbolic mirror is shown.
The property of a hyperbolic mirror is that if you shine a
beam of light from the mirror, the light is reflected toward
the focal point. For this mirror, where should you place a
view lens to see the converging light?

Consider a lens having an index of refraction n and two
spherical surfaces with radii of curvature R1 and R2, as
in Figure. An object is placed at point O at a distance p
in front of surface. The focal length f of a thin lens is
the image distance that corresponds to an infinite object

f – lens focal length (m); p – distance from the object

Sign Conventions for Thin Lenses
p is positive if object is in front of lens (real object).
p is negative if object is in back of lens (virtual object).
q is positive if image is in back of lens (real image).
q is negative if image is in front of lens (virtual image).
f is positive if the lens is converging.

Part 3 - Keplerian Telescope
A telescope magnifies far-off images. Rays hitting the objective are almost parallel and are focused to form an inverted,
real image at the focal point of the eyepiece. The eyepiece refracts the light so the rays leave the eyepiece again almost
parallel. The object remains inverted, and so the angular magnification is defined as M= -B/a, where the angles are shown
in Figure 2.

length fo and an eyepiece with focal length fe focus nearly parallel light rays from a distant object into an inverted image of much
smaller size than the object.

2. The refraction of light between air and glass is the basis of the corrective lenses. The surface of
the glass can be curved more or less to bring rays of light into focus at any distance from the lens.
So, a lens can be thought of as a piece of a glass sphere with a certain radius as shown in figure 1
below. The bigger the radius, the less curved the lens is. In figure 2, I've zoomed in on the lens. I've
drawn two parallel light rays entering the lens from the upper and lower half. If the incident angle of
the light rays is 5°, at what distance from the back side of the lens will the light rays come into focus
(answering in millimeters will likely be most convenient). Remember that refraction will occur when
the light passes from the air to the glass, then again when it passes from the glass to the air. The
indices of refraction of air and glass are 1 and 1.52, respectively.

You unconsciously estimate the distance to an object from the angle it subtends in your field of view. This angle in radians is related to the linear height of the object h and to the distance d by 0= h/d. Assume that you are
driving a car and that another car, 1.50 m high, is 21.0 m behind you.
