Announcements 11/2/11 Prayer Slinkies!! Exam grading—will start right after class today, hopefully
done by tomorrow Term project – progress report due Sat, Nov 12.
Grading, out of 10 pts: a. Did you submit a progress report on time? b. Did your progress report show evidence that you had
made significant progress on your project, and that you were on track to complete your project on time?
c. Was it less than 650 words and in the correct format (text in body of email, figures as attachments if needed, team members cc’ed)?

“Brewster’s Angle”
What’s an image? When you look at it, it looks like there’s an
object present at a certain location (but there isn’t, really)
Reala. The light rays you see all pass through
the location of the image Virtual
a. The light rays you see all just seem to be coming from the location of the image
Reading quiz Is the image you see behind a mirror real or
virtual?a. Realb. Virtual
How can you ever get a real image to form with a mirror?
A Real Image
Use a curved mirror
On the advantages of arrows…
Reading Quiz What is the focal length of a concave
mirror with a radius R?a. Rb. -Rc. R/2d. -R/2e. R2
Proved in a HW problem
Demos Saucer real image or not. Class poll: What
kind of image is this?a. Realb. Virtual
Spherical mirror with hanging ball pendulum
Curved mirrors
Not just any curve will work
Focus: a. every ray coming in parallel will pass through
focusb. every ray passing through focus will exit parallel
I will always use f, not R (f=R/2)

Where will it “focus”?

useful “third ray”: center of mirror is flat
“paraxial rays”

“Convex mirror”: curved the other way
virtual image!The equation:

p q f but f is negative
Numbers: f = -5.5 cm, p = 16.5 cm, q = ? -4.1 cm
Negative q: means image is in back of mirror
Thought question Does a concave (converging) mirror always
