Chapter 10.3, Problem 2aT
Stick a pin into a piece of cardboard and place two mirrors at right angles near the pin as shown in the top view diagram below.
1. Describe what you observe.
2. View the arrangement from several locations and use the method of parallax to place a pin at each of the image locations.
3. Suppose that one of the mirrors were removed. Predict which image(s) you would still see and which image(s) would vanish.
Check your predictions. If any of your predictions were incorrect, resolve the conflict before continuing.
4. On the diagram above, sketch a ray diagram that accounts for each image.
Describe how one of the images differs from the others.

Preliminary Questions
1. Is the image projected on a movie screen real or virtual? What about the image of yourself seen
in a bathroom mirror?
2. Hold a shiny spoon in front of you. What differences do you notice about the image of your
face seen in the convex and concave sides?
3. Where are the images formed by each side of the spoon? In front or behind the spoon? (Try
the parallax method. Look at the image of an overhead light. Hold the tip of a pencil where
think the image is. Move your head from side to side. If the image and pencil tip appear to
you
move relative to each other, adjust the position of the pencil back and forth until they appear to
move as one.)
Draw a ray diagram for each of the following, and then draw the image formed. Please add complete details and labels. Include size of image, location, orientation, and type of image.
construct ray diagrams for each marked dot to show the location and appearance of the image. That’s 4-5 ray diagrams per letter. Draw your rays lightly (but visibly) and mark your image points boldly.1.Is the image of the letter A upright or inverted?2. In what way is the image of the letter A distorted?

To do this we draw three rays of light and see where they intersect. 1. A ray parallel to the axis refracts through the far focal point. 2. A ray that enters the lens along a line through the near focal point emerges parallel to the axis. 3. A ray through the center of the lens does not bend.
