Spherical Mirror Equation From the geometry of the spherical mirror, note that the focal length is half the radius of curvature: As in the case of lenses, the cartesian sign convention is used here, and that is the origin of the negative sign above. The radius r for a concave mirror is a negative quantity (going left from the surface), and this gives a positive focal length, implying convergence.

Principal Focal Length The distance from the lens to that point is the principal focal length f of the lens. For a double concave lens where the rays are diverged, the principal focal length is the distance at which the back-projected rays would come together and it is given a negative sign.

General Physics Experiment 10 B. Converging Lens Setup. 1  Insert a plot of 1/q vs. 1/p with a linear fit below. 2  Record the slope (with error) and y-intercept: m =. b 3  =. According to Eq. (2), the slope should equal -1 and the y-intercept should be the power of the lens, b = 1/f. 4  Compare your slope with -1.0, %Diff 5  =. Invert b to get the focal length of the lens: 1/b = f =.

Image Formation by Convex Mirrors These two formulae can be used to characterize both real and virtual images formed by either concave or convex mirrors, provided that the following sign conventions are observed: The height of the image is positive if the image is upright, with respect to the object, and negative if the image is inverted.

Curved mirror There are two types of curved mirrors; concave and convex. A concave mirror, also known as a converging mirror, is a mirror in which the reflective surface bulges away from the light source. Concave mirror reflect light inwards towards a single point known as the focal point. The focal piont of a concave mirror is located in front of the mirror. As a result, this type of mirror can form real and virtual images depending on the distance of the object from the mirror. A convex mirror, also known as a diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source. Convex mirrors reflect light outwards and therefore can not be used to focus light.

Focus (optics) A convex elliptical mirror will reflect light directed towards one focus as if it were radiating from the other focus, both of which are behind the mirror. A convex hyperbolic mirror will reflect rays emanating from the focal point in front of the mirror as if they were emanating from the focal point behind the mirror.

Focal length As s1 is decreased, s2 must be increased. For example, consider a normal lens for a 35 mm camera with a focal length of f = 50 mm. To focus a distant object (s1 ≈ ∞), the rear nodal point of the lens must be located a distance s2 = 50 mm from the image plane. To focus an object 1 m away (s1 = 1,000 mm), the lens must be moved 2.6 mm farther away from the image plane, to s2 = 52.6 mm.

- For the present, let us assume that the physical diameter of the field area at the eyepiece is 1/3. In other words, the image from the primary mirror forms a circle of light 1/3 in diameter. Simply add that 1/3 area to the on axis diagonal size you just calculated. This is the minor axis size of the diagonal you want.

Making a Galilean Telescope The concave convex is used as the objective lens that is aligned with the eyepiece and with the convex side facing the sky. Notice that this lens is actually different than the plano convex lens used in the original Galilean telescope, but still gives the same results. The following design uses pieces of the inner tube of the mailing tube to hold the lenses in place inside the outer tube.

How to Measure for a Trifocal Lens The pupillary distance determines the measurements for the center of the patient's pupil or visual axis. Measure the pupillary distance monocularly, from the center of the nose to the right pupil and then the left pupil, or binocularly, from the center of one pupil to the other. Rest the ruler on the patient's nose for extra support when taking measurements. A crooked ruler results in inaccurate measurements.

- Focal length is the distance from the bottom of the lens to what you are looking at. The focal length decreases with the stronger lenses. Viewing area is the size of the lens you are looking through, which also decreases with increased strength.

Focal length For a thin lens in air, the focal length is the distance from the center of the lens to the principal foci (or focal points) of the lens. For a converging lens (for example a convex lens), the focal length is positive, and is the distance at which a beam of collimated light will be focused to a single spot.

How to Measure for a Trifocal Lens Optical Center Height. Direct the patient to put on the frames in typical fashion. The optical center height measurement requires the interplay of the eye and the lens to formulate correct measurements. Make a dot on the lens marking the center of the pupil. You want to see the position of the visual axis on the lens. Take the B measurement using the millimeter ruler. The B measurement measures the vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the frame. Halve the B measurement.

Telescope Eyepiece Guide Eyepieces have focal lengths, too — 25- or 10-mm, for example. To calculate the magnification, simply divide the focal length of the scope by that of the eyepiece. A 2000-mm focal length scope used with a 25-mm eyepiece will therefore deliver 2000/25 = 80 power (or 80x).

- Pediatricians say it's about time. Most drugs prescribed for children have not been tested in children. Before the Food and Drug Administration initiated a pediatric program, only about 20 percent of drugs approved by the FDA were labeled for pediatric use.he drugs that have been adequately studied in children--vaccines, some antibiotics, and some cough and cold medicines--have a large market. It's also harder to carry out studies in children, says Dianne Murphy, M.D., director of the FDA's Office of Pediatric Therapeutics.

telescope These telescopes use a concave mirror (usually parabolic) as the objective. They are called reflecting telescopes. Light from a distant object is collected by the large concave mirror and reflected onto a small mirror (positive in the Cassegrain telescope and negative in the gregorian telescope).

- Use 1 / f = 1 / d o + 1/d i where f =15 cm and d o =45 cm. Then use h i / h o = -d i / d o where h o = 5 cm, d o = 45 cm, and d i = 60.0 cm. NOTE: this is Case 3. 4. Determine the image distance and image height for a 5.00-cm tall object placed 10.0 cm from a concave mirror having a focal length of 15.0 cm.

Ray Diagrams - Concave Mirrors A ray diagram for the case in which the object is located in front of the focal point is shown in the diagram at the right. Observe that in this case the light rays diverge after reflecting off the mirror. When light rays diverge after reflection, a virtual image is formed.
