Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window glass, allow light to pass through. Other materials, such as thin paper or frosted glass, allow the passage of light in diffused directions so that we can’t see objects through them.

Light has been studied for thousands of years. Some ancient Greek philosophers thought that light consists of tiny particles, which enter the eye to create the sensation of vision. Others thought that vision resulted from streamers or filaments emitted by the eye making contact with an object.
27.1 Early Concepts of Light
![Page 5: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Up until the time of Newton and beyond, most philosophers and scientists thought that light consisted of particles. However, one Greek, Empedocles, thought that light traveled in waves. One of Newton’s contemporaries, the Dutch scientist Christian Huygens, also argued that light was a wave.
27.1 Early Concepts of Light

2. The particle theory was supported by the fact that light seemed to move in straight lines instead of spreading out as waves do.
3. Wave Theory -Huygens showed that under some circumstances light does spread out and other scientists found evidence to support the wave theory. The wave theory became the accepted theory in the nineteenth century.

4. In 1905, Einstein published a theory explaining the photoelectric effect. According to this theory, light consists of particles called photons, massless bundles of concentrated electromagnetic energy.Scientists now agree that light has a dual nature, part particle and part wave.

5. Michelson’s experimental value for the speed of light was 299,920 km/s, which is usually rounded to 300,000 km/s or 3X 108 m/s
27.2 The Speed of Light
![Page 10: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
It was not known whether light travels instantaneously or with finite speed until the late 1600s. Galileo tried to measure the time a light beam takes to travel to a distant mirror, but it was so short he couldn’t begin to measure it. Others tried the experiment at longer distances with lanterns they flashed on and off between distant mountaintops. All they succeeded in doing was measuring their own reaction times.
27.2 The Speed of Light
![Page 11: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Olaus RoemerThe first demonstration that light travels at a finite speed was supplied by the Danish astronomer Olaus Roemer about 1675. Roemer carefully measured the periods of Jupiter’s moons.
• The innermost moon, Io, revolves around Jupiter in 42.5 hours.
• The Io disappears periodically into Jupiter’s shadow, so this period could be measured with great accuracy.

![Page 12: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Roemer found that while Earth was moving away from Jupiter, the periods of Io were all somewhat longer than average.
• When Earth was moving toward Jupiter, the measured periods were shorter than average.
• Roemer estimated that the cumulative discrepancy amounted to about 22 minutes.
27.2 The Speed of Light
![Page 13: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Light coming from Io takes longer to reach Earth at position D than at position A. The extra distance that the light travels divided by the extra time it takes gives the speed of light.

![Page 14: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Christian HuygensChristian Huygens correctly interpreted this discrepancy.
• The Io passed into Jupiter’s shadow at the predicted time.• The light did not arrive until it had traveled the extra distance across
the diameter of Earth’s orbit. • This distance is now known to be 300,000,000 km.
27.2 The Speed of Light
![Page 15: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Using the travel time of 1000 s for light to move across Earth’s orbit makes the calculation of the speed of light quite simple:
The speed of light is 300,000 km/s.

![Page 16: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Albert MichelsonThe most famous experiment measuring the speed of light was performed by the American physicist Albert Michelson in 1880.
• Light was directed by a lens to an octagonal mirror.• A beam of light was reflected to a stationary mirror on a mountain 35
km away and then reflected back.• The distance was known, so Michelson had to find only the time it
took to make a round trip.
27.2 The Speed of Light
![Page 17: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• When the mirror was spun, short bursts of light reached the stationary mirror and were reflected back to the spinning octagonal mirror.
• If the rotating mirror made one-eighth rotation while the light made the trip, the mirror reflected light to the observer.
• If the mirror was rotated too slowly or too quickly, it would not be in a position to reflect light.

a. Light is reflected back to the eyepiece when the mirror is at rest. b. Reflected light fails to enter the eyepiece when the mirror spins too slowly . . . c. . . . or too fast. d. When the mirror rotates at the correct speed, light reaches the eyepiece.
27.2 The Speed of Light
![Page 22: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
When the light entered the eyepiece, the time for the light to make the trip and the time for the mirror to make one eighth of a rotation were the same. Michelson divided the 70-km round trip distance by this time and found the speed of light was 299,920 km/s, which is usually rounded to 300,000 km/s.Michelson received the 1907 Nobel Prize in physics for this experiment.

![Page 23: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Facts about LightThe speed of light, c, is constant in a vacuum.
Light can be:•REFLECTED •ABSORBED•REFRACTED
Light is an electromagnetic wave in that it has wave like properties which can be influenced by electric and magnetic fields.
![Page 24: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The speed of light in a vacuum is a universal constant. Light is so fast that if a beam of light could travel around Earth, it would make 7.5 trips in one second. Light takes 8 minutes to travel from the sun to Earth and 4 years from the next nearest star, Alpha Centauri. 6. The distance light travels in one year is called a light-year.

think!Light entered the eyepiece when Michelson’s octagonal mirror made exactly one eighth of a rotation during the time light traveled to the distant mountain and back. Would light enter the eyepiece if the mirror turned one quarter of a rotation in this time?

think!Light entered the eyepiece when Michelson’s octagonal mirror made exactly one eighth of a rotation during the time light traveled to the distant mountain and back. Would light enter the eyepiece if the mirror turned one quarter of a rotation in this time?
Answer:
Yes, light would enter the eyepiece whenever the octagonal mirror turned in multiples of 1/8 rotation— ¼, ½, 1, etc.—in the time the light made its round trip.

7. This energy travels in a wave that is partly electric and partly magnetic. Such a wave is an electromagnetic wave.
The electromagnetic spectrum consists of radio waves, microwaves, infrared, light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays.

The lowest frequency of light we can see appears red. The highest visible light, violet, has nearly twice the frequency of red light.9. Electromagnetic waves of frequencies lower than the red of visible light are called infrared. Heat lamps give off infrared waves. 10. Electromagnetic waves of frequencies higher than those of violet are called ultraviolet. They are responsible for sunburns.

11. Light doesn’t travel through a mirror, but is returned by the mirror’s surface. These waves are reflected.
12. When waves strike the surface of a medium at an angle, their direction changes. These waves are refracted. Usually waves are partly reflected and partly refracted when they fall on a transparent medium.

Light passes through materials whose atoms absorb the energy and immediately reemit it as light.
Light and Transparent Materials
![Page 37: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Materials that transmit light are transparent. Glass and water are transparent.Materials that are springy (elastic) respond more to vibrations at some frequencies than at others. The natural vibration frequencies of an electron depend on how strongly it is attached to a nearby nucleus.
27.4 Light and Transparent Materials
![Page 38: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The electrons of atoms in glass can be imagined to be bound to the atomic nucleus as if connected by springs.
27.4 Light and Transparent Materials
![Page 39: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Electrons in glass have a natural vibration frequency in the ultraviolet range.
• In ultraviolet light, resonance occurs as the wave builds a large vibration between the electron and the nucleus.
• The energy received by the atom can be either passed on to neighboring atoms by collisions or reemitted as light.
• If ultraviolet light interacts with an atom that has the same natural frequency, the vibration amplitude is unusually large.
27.4 Light and Transparent Materials
![Page 40: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The atom typically holds on to this energy for about 1 million vibrations or 100 millionths of a second.During this time, the atom makes many collisions with other atoms and gives up its energy in the form of heat. That’s why glass is not transparent to ultraviolet.
27.4 Light and Transparent Materials
![Page 41: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
When the electromagnetic wave has a lower frequency than ultraviolet, as visible light does, the electrons are forced into vibration with smaller amplitudes.
• The atom holds the energy for less time, with less chance of collision with neighboring atoms.
• Less energy is transferred as heat. • The energy of the vibrating electrons is reemitted as transmitted light.
27.4 Light and Transparent Materials
![Page 42: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Glass is transparent to all the frequencies of visible light. The frequency of the reemitted light is identical to that of the light that produced the vibration to begin with. The main difference is a slight time delay between absorption and reemission.This time delay results in a lower average speed of light through a transparent material.
27.4 Light and Transparent Materials
![Page 43: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
A light wave incident upon a pane of glass sets up vibrations in the atoms. Because of the time delay between absorptions and reemissions, the average speed of light in glass is less than c.
27.4 Light and Transparent Materials
![Page 44: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
In a vacuum, the speed of light is a constant 300,000 km/s; we call this speed of light c.
• Light travels slightly less than c in the atmosphere, but the speed is usually rounded to c.
• In water, light travels at 75% of its speed in a vacuum, 0.75c. • In glass, light travels at about 0.67c, depending on glass type. • In a diamond, light travels at only 0.40c.
When light emerges from these materials into the air, it travels at its original speed, c.
27.4 Light and Transparent Materials
![Page 45: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Materials such as glass and water are not as rigid to light waves.• When light shines perpendicularly on the surface of still water, about 2%
of its energy is reflected and the rest is transmitted. • When light strikes glass perpendicularly, about 4% of its energy is
reflected. • Except for slight losses, the rest is transmitted.
Reflection
![Page 46: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Infrared waves, with frequencies lower than visible light, vibrate not only the electrons, but also the entire structure of the glass. This vibration of the structure increases the internal energy of the glass and makes it warmer.Glass is transparent to visible light, but not to ultraviolet and infrared light.

In opaque materials, any coordinated vibrations given by light to the atoms and molecules are turned into random kinetic energy—that is, into internal energy.
27.5 Opaque Materials
![Page 49: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Materials that absorb light without reemission and thus allow no light through them are opaque. Wood, stone, and people are opaque.In opaque materials, any vibrations from light are turned into random kinetic energy—that is, into internal energy.The materials become slightly warmer.

Metals are also opaque. In metals, the outer electrons of atoms are not bound to any particular atom. When light shines on metal and sets these free electrons into vibration, their energy does not “spring” from atom to atom.It is reemitted as visible light. This reemitted light is seen as a reflection. That’s why metals are shiny.

Our atmosphere is transparent to visible light and some infrared, but almost opaque to high-frequency ultraviolet waves. The ultraviolet that gets through is responsible for sunburns. Clouds are semitransparent to ultraviolet, so you can get a sunburn on a cloudy day. Ultraviolet also reflects from sand and water, so you can sometimes get a sunburn while in the shade of a beach umbrella.

think!Why is glass transparent to visible light but opaque to ultraviolet and infrared?
Answer: The natural frequency of vibration for electrons in glass matches the frequency of ultraviolet light, so resonance in the glass occurs when ultraviolet waves shine on it. These vibrations generate heat instead of wave reemission, so the glass is opaque to ultraviolet. In the range of visible light, the forced vibrations of electrons in the glass result in reemission of light, so the glass is transparent. Lower-frequency infrared causes entire atomic structures to resonate so heat is generated, and the glass is opaque.

The color of an opaque object is the color of the light it reflects.
28.2 Color by Reflection
![Page 55: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
The colors of most objects around you are due to the way the objects reflect light.The color of an opaque object is the color of the light it reflects.Light reflects from objects similar to the way sound “reflects” from a tuning fork when another sets it into vibration.
28.2 Color by Reflection
![Page 56: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
If the material is transparent, the reemitted light passes through it. If the material is opaque, the light passes back into the medium from which it came. This is reflection.Most materials absorb light of some frequencies and reflect the rest. If a material absorbs light of most visible frequencies and reflects red, for example, the material appears red.

13. When white light falls on a flower, light of some frequencies is absorbed by the cells in the flower and some light is reflected.
14. Cells that contain chlorophyll absorb light of most frequencies and reflect the green part, so they appear green. The petals of a red rose, on the other hand, reflect primarily red light, with a lesser amount of blue.

15. Petals of most yellow flowers, such as daffodils, reflect red and green as well as yellow. Yellow daffodils reflect light of a broad band of frequencies.
16. The reflected colors of most objects are not pure single-frequency colors, but a spread of frequencies. So something yellow, for example, may simply be a mixture of colors without blue and violet—or it can be red and green together.
28.2 Color by Reflection

17. White light from the sun is a composite of all the visible frequencies. The brightness of solar frequencies is uneven.
18.. The lowest frequencies of sunlight, in the red region, are not as bright as those in the middle-range yellow and green region.
19.. Humans evolved in the presence of sunlight and we are most sensitive to yellow-green. .The blue portion of sunlight is not as bright, and the violet portion is even less bright.

21. Light of all the visible frequencies mixed together produces white. • White also results from the combination of only red, green, and blue
light.
22. Red and green light alone overlap to form yellow. 23. Red and blue light alone produce the bluish-red color called magenta. 24. Green and blue light alone produce the greenish-blue color called
cyan.

When two of the three additive primary colors are combined:22. red + green = yellow23. red + blue = magenta24. blue + green = cyan
25. When we add in the third color, we get white:•yellow + blue = white•magenta + green = white•cyan + red = white

Of the visible frequencies, violet light is scattered the most, followed by blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, in that order.
• Violet light is scattered more than blue but our eyes are not very sensitive to violet light.
• Our eyes are more sensitive to blue, so we see a blue sky.

28. Water is greenish blue because water molecules absorb red.

Ocean water is cyan because it absorbs red. The froth in the waves is white because its droplets of many sizes scatter many colors.
28.10 Why Water Is Greenish Blue
![Page 69: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Light doesn’t travel through a mirror, but is returned by the mirror’s surface. These waves are reflected. When waves strike the surface of a medium at an angle, their direction changes. These waves are refracted. Usually waves are partly reflected and partly refracted when they fall on a transparent medium.
![Page 70: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
29. The return of a wave back to its original medium is called reflection. Fasten a spring to a wall and send a pulse along the spring’s length.The wall is a very rigid medium compared with the spring, so all the wave energy is reflected back along the spring. Waves that travel along the spring are almost totally reflected at the wall.
29.1 Reflection
![Page 71: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
30. Incident rays and reflected rays make equal angles with a line perpendicular to the surface, called the normal.
31. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is the angle of incidence.32. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is the angle of reflection.33. Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
29.2 The Law of Reflection
![Page 72: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
33. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal to each other.
The Law of Reflection
34. A virtual image appears to be in a location where light does not really reach. Mirrors produce only virtual images.
![Page 73: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Your eye cannot ordinarily tell the difference between an object and its virtual image.
• The light enters your eye in exactly the same manner as it would if there really were an object where you see the image.
• The image is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
• The image and object are the same size.

Virtual ImagesVirtual Images are basically images which cannot be
visually projected on a screen.If this box gave off light, we could project an image of this box on to a screen provided the screen was on the SAME SIDE as the box.
You would not be able to project the image of the vase or your face in a mirror on a screen, therefore it is a virtual image.
CONCLUSION: 36. VIRTUAL IMAGES are ALWAYS on the OPPOSITE side of the mirror relative to the object.

The law of reflection holds for curved mirrors. However, the sizes and distances of object and image are no longer equal.

Converging (Concave) Mirror42. A converging mirror is one that is spherical in
nature by which it can FOCUS parallel light rays to a point directly in front of its surface. Every spherical mirror can do this and this special point is at a “fixed” position for every mirror. We call this point the FOCAL POINT. To find this point you MUST use light from “infinity”
Light from an “infinite” distance, most likely the sun.

Images Formed by Spherical Mirrors
Spherical mirrors are made from polished sections cut from a spherical surface.
43. The center of curvature, C, is the center of the sphere, of which the mirror is a section.
Of course, you don’t really make these mirrors by cutting out part of a sphere of glass.

If the mirror is small compared to its radius of curvature, or the object being imaged is close to the principal axis, then the rays essentially all focus at a single point.

46. Converging (Concave) Mirror Since the mirror is
spherical it technically has a CENTER OF CURVATURE, C. The focal point happens to be HALF this distance.
We also draw a line through the center of the mirror and call it the PRINCIPAL AXIS.

Ray Diagrams for Mirrors
47. We can use three “principal rays” to construct images. In this example, the object is “outside” of F.
Ray 1 is parallel to the axis and reflects through F.Ray 2 passes through F before reflecting parallel to the axis.
Ray 3 passes through C and reflects back on itself.

An image is formed where the rays converge.
48. The image from a concave mirror, object outside the focal point, is real, inverted, and smaller than the object.
“Real” image: you could put a camera there and detect the image.

Ray Diagrams for Concave Mirrors
Two rays would be enough to show us where the image is. We include the third ray for “safety.” You don’t have to use principal rays, but they are easiest to trace.

49. The image from a concave mirror, object inside the focal point, is virtual, upright, and larger than the object.Ray 1: parallel to the axis then through F.
Ray 2: “through” F then parallel to the axis.
Ray 3: “through” C.
F
With this size object, there was a bit of spherical aberration present, and I had to “cheat” my C a bit to the left to make the diagram look “nice.”
What do you mean, this is a virtual image? I can see it!

50. You could show that if an object is placed at the focal point, reflected rays all emerge parallel, and *no image is formed.Ray 1: parallel to the axis then through F.
Ray 2: “through” F then parallel to the axis. Can’t do!
Ray 3: through C.
F
no image
*Actually, the image is formed at infinity.Worth thinking about: what if the object is placed between F and C?

Ray Diagram ReviewA ray diagram is a pictorial representation of how the
light travels to form an image and can tell you the characteristics of the image.

Rule One: Draw a ray, starting from the top of the object, parallel to the principal axis and then through “f” after reflection.

What do you notice about the three lines? THEY INTERSECT
The intersection is the location of the image.

Principal axisfCobject
After getting the intersection, draw an arrow down from the principal axis to the point of intersection. Then ask yourself these questions:
1) Is the image on the SAME or OPPOSITE side of the mirror as the object?Same, therefore it is a REAL IMAGE.2) Is the image ENLARGED or REDUCED?3) Is the image INVERTED or RIGHT SIDE UP?

“When the object, image, or focal point is “behind” the mirror, the distance is negative.”
If the image distance is negative, can the image be real?
![Page 103: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
The Mirror/Lens EquationIs there any OTHER way to predict image characteristics besides
the ray diagram? YES!
51. One way is to use the MIRROR/LENS equation to CALCULATE the position of the image.
![Page 104: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Mirror/Lens Equation58. Assume that a certain concave spherical mirror
has a focal length of 10.0 cm. Locate the image for an object distance of 25 cm and describe the image’s characteristics.
16.67 cm
What does this tell us? First we know the image is BETWEEN “C” & “f”. Since the image distance is POSITIVE the image is a REAL IMAGE.
Real image = positive image distanceVirtual image = negative image distance
What about the size and orientation?
![Page 105: Light, Reflection, & Mirrors AP Physics B. Almost everything we see is made visible by the light it reflects. Some materials, such as air, water, or window](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051516/56649e2b5503460f94b19d08/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
59. Magnification EquationTo calculate the orientation and size of the image we
use the MAGNIFICATION EQUATION.Here is how this works:•If we get a POSITIVE magnification, the image is UPRIGHT.•If we get a NEGATIVE magnification, the image is INVERTED •If the magnification value is GREATER than 1, the image is ENLARGED.•If the magnification value is LESS than 1, the image is REDUCED.•If the magnification value is EQUAL to 1, the image is the SAME SIZE as the object.
Using our previous data we see that our image was INVERTED, and REDUCED.

When the object, image, or focal point is on the reflecting side of the mirror, the distance is positive.
When the object, image, or focal point is “behind” the mirror, the distance is negative.
The image height is positive if the image is upright, and negative if the image is inverted relative to the object.

73. Summary of Sign Conventions
Object Distance. When the object is on the same side as the incoming light, the object distance is positive (otherwise is negative).
Here’s a compact way of expressing mirror and lens (coming soon) sign conventions all at once.
Image Distance. When the image is on the same side as the outgoing light, the image distance is positive (otherwise is negative). (negative image distance virtual image)
Radius of Curvature. When the center of curvature C is on the same side as the outgoing light, R is positive (otherwise is negative).
(positive image distance real image)

An echo is reflected sound. More sound energy is reflected from a rigid and smooth surface than from a soft and irregular surface.Sound energy not reflected is absorbed or transmitted.The study of the reflective properties of surfaces is acoustics.When walls are too reflective, the sound becomes garbled because of multiple reflections of sound waves called reverberations. When the reflective surfaces are more absorbent, the sound level is lower, and the hall sounds dull and lifeless. In the design of an auditorium or concert hall, a balance between reverberation and absorption is desired

Let an axle with two wheels roll along a pavement that slopes downward onto a downward-sloping mowed lawn.
• It rolls more slowly on the lawn due to interaction of the wheels with the blades of grass.
• Rolled at an angle, it will be deflected from its straight-line course.
• The wheel that first meets the lawn slows down first.
• The axle pivots, and the path bends toward the normal.
• When both wheels reach the grass, it continues in a straight line at reduced speed.

In drawing a diagram of a wave, it is convenient to draw lines, called wave fronts, that represent the positions of different crests.
• At each point along a wave front, the wave is moving perpendicular to the wave front.
• The direction of motion of the wave is represented by rays that are perpendicular to the wave fronts.
• Sometimes we analyze waves in terms of wave fronts, and at other times in terms of rays.

Sound refraction occurs in uneven winds or when sound is traveling through air of uneven temperature.
• On a warm day the air near the ground may be appreciably warmer than the air above.
• Sound travels faster in warmer air, so the speed of sound near the ground is increased.
• The refraction is not abrupt but gradual.
• Sound waves tend to bend away from warm ground, making it appear that the sound does not carry well.

When the layer of air near the ground is colder than the air above, the speed of sound near the ground is reduced. The higher speed of the wave fronts above causes a bending of the sound toward Earth. Sound can then be heard over considerably longer distances.

think!Suppose you are downwind from a factory whistle. In which case will the whistle sound louder—if the wind speed near the ground is more than the wind speed several meters above the ground, or if it is less?
Answer:
You’ll hear the whistle better if the wind speed near the ground is less than the wind speed higher up. For this condition, the sound will be refracted toward the ground.

When light rays enter a medium in which their speed decreases, as when passing from air into water, the rays bend toward the normal. When light rays enter a medium in which their speed increases, such as from water into air, the rays bend away from the normal.The light paths are reversible for both reflection and refraction. If you can see somebody in a reflective or refractive device, such as a mirror or a prism, then that person can see you by looking through the device also.

The speed of light in air is only 0.03% less than c, but in some situations, atmospheric refraction is quite noticeable. A distorted image, called a mirage, is caused by refraction of light in Earth’s atmosphere.
• A layer of very hot air is in contact with the ground on very hot days. • Light travels faster through it than through the cooler air above. • The speeding up of the part of the wave nearest the ground
produces a gradual bending of the light rays. • Light is refracted.

Wave fronts of light travel faster in the hot air near the ground, thereby bending the rays of light upward.

A motorist experiences a similar situation when driving along a hot road that appears to be wet ahead. The sky appears to be reflected from a wet surface, but, in fact, light from the sky is being refracted through a layer of hot air. A mirage is not a “trick of the mind.” A mirage is formed by real light and can be photographed.

When you watch the sun set, you see the sun for several minutes after it has really sunk below the horizon. Since the density of the atmosphere changes gradually, refracted rays bend gradually to produce a curved path. The same thing occurs at sunrise, so our daytimes are about 5 minutes longer because of atmospheric refraction.

When the sun is near the horizon, the rays from the lower edge are bent more than the rays from the upper edge. This produces a shortening of the vertical diameter and makes the sun look elliptical instead of round.Atmospheric refraction produces a “pumpkin” sun.

Answer:
No! There would be no refraction if light traveled at the same speed in air of different temperatures and densities.
