    Here are the relationships between the variables: 1. Direct - Magnification is directly proportional to image height. 2. Inverse - Magnification is inversely proportional to image distance. 3. Direct - Magnification is directly proportional to object distance. 4. Direct - Image height is directly proportional to image distance. 5. Inverse - Object height is inversely proportional to image distance.

    Mirror Equation

    In the last
    lesson, you
    learned about
    convex
    mirrors. An
    example of
    these are those
    used in cars’
    side mirrors.
    In particular, you were
    able to describe the image
    formed by a convex
    mirror using ray diagram;
    that is, by imagining light
    rays converging forming
    an image.
    However, there are some disadvantages in using a ray diagram. In this lesson, you will
    learn how to derive the image properties using an equation.
    WOULD YOU LIKE IT PLANE OR CURVED?

    1. Position a toy in front of the plane


    mirror and another toy in front of
    the back of the spoon. Make sure
    that the toys are equidistant from
    the mirrors.

    2. Observe the images formed from the


    two mirrors.
    RAY DIAGRAMMING

    Advantages:

    • helps visualize how images are formed

    • stimulate visual learners


    RAY DIAGRAMMING

    Disadvantages:
    • There could be several intersection of the three
    important rays.
    • The drawing is highly systematize.
    • The students need to memorize how are the rays
    formed.
    • Inaccurate location of image
    IT IS POSSIBLE TO MATHEMATICALLY CALCULATE
    WHERE AN IMAGE WILL SHOW UP IF DISTANCE
    OF THE OBJECT IS KNOWN. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE
    TO KNOW THE RADIUS OF CURVATURE OF A
    MIRROR GIVEN THE LOCATION OF OBJECT AND
    THE IMAGE.
    MIRROR EQUATION

    The equation that relates the three parameters (object


    distance, image distance, and focal length) is called the mirror
    equation

    where:
    p – object’s distance from the mirror
    q – image’s distance from the mirror
    f – focal length
    UNITS FOR DISTANCES AND FOCAL LENGTH
    SHOULD BE CONSISTENT.

    (concave mirror)
    R, f center of curvature is -

    R, f mirror has no ∞
    WHAT IS THE FOCAL POINT DISTANCE OF A
    CONVEX MIRROR IF THE OBJECT LOCATED 10 CM
    AWAY FROM THE MIRROR FORMS A VIRTUAL
    IMAGE WHICH IS 30 CM AWAY FROM THE
    MIRROR?
    WHAT IS THE FOCAL POINT DISTANCE OF A
    CONVEX MIRROR IF THE OBJECT LOCATED 10 CM
    AWAY FROM THE MIRROR FORMS A VIRTUAL
    IMAGE WHICH IS 30 CM AWAY FROM THE
    MIRROR?
    MAGNIFICATION

    • can be computed either by using the height of the image


    and the object or their distances.
    • Magnification is given by:

    where:
    h’ - image height h - object height
    q - image distance p - object distance
    WHAT IS THE MAGNIFICATION OF A CONVEX
    MIRROR IF IT PRODUCED A 43 CM HIGH IMAGE
    FROM A 55 CM HIGH OBJECT?
    WHAT IS THE MAGNIFICATION OF A CONVEX
    MIRROR IF IT PRODUCED A 43 CM HIGH IMAGE
    FROM A 55 CM HIGH OBJECT?
    ● The mirror equation relates the object distance, image distance, and
    focal length. It is given by the formula:

    ● Magnification can be computed either by using the height of the image


    and the object or their distances. It is given by the formula:
    INDICATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO
    VARIABLES (DIRECT OR INVERSE).

    1. magnification and image height


    2. magnification and image distance
    3. magnification and object distance
    4. image height and image distance
    5. object height and image distance
