Physics 2- Unit 13

Concave Mirror: Object behind center of curvature and focal point

Image is inverted, real, smaller than the object, and appears closer

Concave Mirror: Object is on center of curvature and behind focal point

Image is inverted, real, the same size as the object, and appears to be at the same distance

Concave Mirror: Object is in front of the center of curvature and behind the focus

The image is inverted, real, larger than the object, and appears further

Concave Mirror: the object is on the focus

No image is formed—All rays reflect parallel to each other

Concave Mirror: The object is in front of the focus

The image is virtual, upright, larger than the object, and appears behind the mirror.

Convex Mirror

The image always appears to be virtual, upright, and smaller than the image

Plane Mirror

Images are always virtual, upright, and the same size as the object

Convex Lens: Object is further than 2x the focal length

Image is real, inverted, and smaller

Convex Lens: Object is at 2x the focal length

Image is real, inverted, and the same size

Convex Lens: Object is between 2x the focal length and the focal length

Image is real, inverted and larger

Convex lens: Object is on the focus

No image is formed

Convex Lens: Object is closer than the focal length

Image is virtual, upright, and larger than the object

Concave Lens

Object is always virtual, upright, and smaller

Orientation in comparison to the Center of curvature for a Concave Mirror determines…

The size of the image (Behind the center of curvature indicated a smaller object, in front indicated larger)

The orientation in comparison to the focus for a concave mirror determines…

The nature of the image (real or virtual) and its orientation. (Behind the focus indicated a real inverted image, in front indicates virtual and upright)

The orientation in comparison to 2x the focal length for a convex lens determines…

The size of the image (Behind 2x indicates a smaller image, in front indicated a larger image) — Acts the same as the center of curvature

The orientation in comparison to the focal length for a convex lens determines…

the nature of the image (real or virtual) and its orientation. (Behind the focal length indicates a real inverted image, in front indicates a virtual upright image).
