Images
One of the most important uses of the basic laws governing light is the
production of images. Images are critical to a variety of fields and industries
ranging from entertainment, to security, to medicine
In this chapter we define and classify images, and then classify several basic
ways in which they can be produced.

34.2 Two Types of Images
real image
object
lens
object
mirror
virtual image
Image: A reproduction derived from light.
Real Image: Light rays actually pass through image, really exist in space (or on
a screen for example) whether you are looking or not.
Virtual Image: No light rays actually pass through image. Only appear to be
coming from image. Image only exists when rays are traced back to perceived
location of source.

A Common Mirage
Light travels faster through warm air  warmer air has smaller index of
refraction than colder air  refraction of light near hot surfaces.
For observer in car, light appears to be coming from the road top ahead, but is
really coming from the sky.

34.3 Plane Mirrors, Point Object
Plane mirror is a flat reflecting surface.

Plane Mirror:
i  p
Since I is a virtual image, i < 0.

Plane Mirrors, Extended Object
Each point source of light in the
extended object is mapped to a
point in the image.

34.4 Spherical Mirrors, Making a Spherical Mirror
Plane mirror  concave mirror
1. Center of curvature C:
in front at infinity  in front but closer
2. Field of view
wide  smaller
3. Image
i=p  |i|>p
4. Image height
image height = object height  image height > object height
Plane mirror  convex mirror
1. Center of curvature C:
in front at infinity  behind mirror and closer
2. Field of view
wide  larger
3. Image
i=p  |i|<p
4. Image height
image height = object height  image height < object height

r > 0 for concave (real focal point)
r < 0 for convex (virtual focal point)

34.5 Images from Spherical Mirrors
Start with rays leaving a point on object, where they intersect, or appear to
intersect, marks the corresponding point on the image.
Fig. 34-9
Real images form on the side where the object is located (side to which light is
going). Virtual images form on the opposite side.

A ray that is parallel to central axis reflects through F.
A ray that reflects from mirror after passing through F emerges parallel to central axis.
A ray that reflects from mirror after passing through C returns along itself.
A ray that reflects from mirror after passing through c is reflected symmetrically about the
central axis.

34.6 Spherical Refracting Surfaces
Fig. 34-11
Real images form on the side of a refracting surface that is opposite the object (side to
which light is going). Virtual images form on the same side as the object.

When object faces a convex refracting surface r is positive. When it faces a concave
surface, r is negative. CAUTION: This is reverse of mirror sign convention!

Locating Images of Extended Objects by Drawing Rays
Fig. 34-15
1. A ray initially parallel to central axis will pass through F2.
2. A ray that initially passes through F1, will emerge parallel to central axis.
3. A ray that initially is directed toward the center of the lens will emerge from the lens
with no change in its direction (the two sides of the lens at the center are almost
parallel).

1. Let p1 be the distance of object O from Lens 1. Use equation and/or
principle rays to determine the distance to the image of Lens 1, i1.
2. Ignore Lens 1, and use I1 as the object O2. If O2 is located beyond Lens 2,
then use a negative object distance p1. Determine i2 using the equation
and/or principle rays to locate the final image I2.
The net magnification is: M  m1m2

34.8 Optical Instruments, Simple Magnifying Lens
You can make an object appear
larger (greater angular magnification)
by simply bringing it closer to your
eye. However, the eye cannot focus
on objects closer than the near point:
pn~25 cmBIG & BLURRY IMAGE
A simple magnifying lens allows the
object to be placed close by making a
large virtual image that is far away.
