Plane Mirrors
1. Look at the shiny side of the foil
How clear is the image produced by the mirror (Use
a 0-4 scale with 4 being perfectly clear and 0
being no image visible)? Why is this the case.
2. Look at the dull side of the foil
How clear is the image produced by the mirror (Use
a 0-4 scale with 4 being perfectly clear and 0
being no image visible)? Why is this the case.
3. Lightly crumple the foil and then flatten it
again
How clear is the image produced by the mirror (Use
a 0-4 scale with 4 being perfectly clear and 0
being no image visible)? Why is this the case.

Lenses form images by
refracting light
A medium can refract light
• Refract: the bending of a wave as it
crosses the boundary between two
mediums at an angle other than 90
degrees.
– Mediums: air  lens  air
– Occurs because one side of the light wave
reaches the new medium (lens) slightly before
the other side does.
– That side changes speed, while the other
continues at regular speed, causing it to turn.
Refraction of light
• Direction in which a light wave
turns depends on whether the
new medium slows the wave
down or allows it to travel
faster.
– Denser medium-slow down
– Thinner medium-speed up
• The normal- imaginary line
perpendicular to the new
surface that helps describe
refraction
– If the medium slows the wave, the
wave will turn toward the normal.
– If the medium lets the wave speed
up, the wave will turn away from
the normal.
Refraction and Rainbows
• Rainbows are cause by
refraction and reflection
of light through spherical
water drops which act as
prisms.
– Like a prism, water drops
separate the wavelengths
of sunlight to produce a
spectrum.
– Unlike a prism, only one
color reaches your eye
from each drop.
• Red appears at the top of
a rainbow because it is
coming from higher drops
• Violet comes from lower
drops
Shape determines how lenses form
images
• Flat mediums- produce a clear image on
other side
• A lens is a clear optical tool that refracts
light- non flat mediums.
– Different lenses refract light in different ways
– These different images formed are useful for
a variety of purposes
• Types of lenses: convex and concave
Convex Lens
• Curved outward
• Parallel light rays passing through a convex lens are
refracted inward.
– They meet at a focal point on the other side of the lens
– Rays refract twice: when entering the new medium and when
leaving the new medium.
– Rays on the outer part of the lens are refracted the most
– Rays on the principal axis-the line joining the center of the two
curved lenses- will go straight through and not refract.
focal point
principal axis
Concave Lens
Principle Axis
• The lens is curved inward.
• Parallel light rays that pass through a concave lens are
refracted outward.
– Rays do not ever meet.
– Rays refract twice: when entering the new medium and when
leaving the new medium.
– Rays on the outer part of the lens are refracted the most
– Rays on the principal axis-the line joining the center of the two
curved lenses- will go straight through and not refract.
Images formed by lenses
• Type of image depends
on
– Lens type
– For convex lenses: the
distance between the lens
and the object.
• Convex lens: Distance
from lens is measured in
focal length- the distance
from the center of the
lens to the lens’s focal
point.
How Convex Lenses Form Images
• Look at the 3 steps below to see how an image is
formed by a convex lens. Step 1 is repeated from
the previous slide.
Convex Lenses
Bigger? Smaller? Flip-Flop?
• If the object is more than two focal lengths
away, the image will be upside down and
smaller.
• If the object is between 1 and 2 focal
lengths away the image will be upside
down and larger.
• If an object is less than one focal length
away it will appear right side up and
larger.
Concave Lenses
• Always right side up and smaller than
normal appearance.
• Distance between lens and object does
not make a difference.
