A very small, very bright bulb is placed for from a semi−cylindrical mirror. The bulb is located on the axis of the mirror. Some light rays from the distant bulb are shown in the diagram below.
- Is there a well−defined focal point for the (entire) mirror?
| If so: | Identify and label the focal point on the diagram. Explain how you used your ray diagram to determine your answer. |
| If not: | Identify and label the approximate portion of the mirror for which a focal point is well defined. Identify and label the focal point for this portion of the mirror. Explain how you used your ray diagram to determine your answers. |

Two flat mirrors make an angle of 90.0° with each other, as diagrammed below. An incoming ray makes an angle of ? = 45° with the normal of mirror A. Use the law of reflection to determine the angle of reflection from mirror B. ° from the normal line of mirror B.
What is unusual about the incoming light for this arrangement of mirrors?
The ray reflected from the second mirror is never parallel to the incoming ray.The ray reflected from the second mirror is always parallel to the incoming ray. There is no reflected ray.
Choose two location of object (except at focal point),one from curved mirror and one from lenses. Using ray diagram method,illustrate the image formation as described in the table. Do the same with lenses. One diagram for Curved mirror and one diagram for lenses. Use the table below as your reference.
The diagram below shows the situation described in the problem. The focal length of the lens is labeled f; the scale on the
optical axis is in centimeters. Draw the three special rays, Ray1, Ray2, and Ray3 as described in the Tactics Box above,
and label each ray accordingly. Draw the rays from the tip of the object to the center vertical axis of the lens. Do not draw
the refracted rays.
Draw the vectors for the incident rays starting at the tip of the object to the center vertical axis of the lens. The
location and orientation of the vectors will be graded.

As much as possible, use the four principal rays to locate the image formed in a curved mirror.arrow_forwardIn the following situations 1. Draw for any mirror or lens, draw at least 3 principal rays and determine the location of the image (for actual rays use unbroken lines and for virtual or inferred rays use broken lines) (The dots represent the focal points of the lenses or mirrors and the vertical lines represent the location of the lens or mirror.

This part is graded on completeness so just try it out even if you feel it is wrong. Notice it is important to not get confused between the rules for lenses and mirrors. 1. Consider a concave mirror. An object is placed at various object distances from the mirror. For each case, use ray tracing to determine the following characteristics of the image: * is it real or virtual? n is it upright or inverted? n is it smaller or bigger than the object (or the same size)? n where is the image located?
