Extra Credit - Raytracing a Convex Mirror (10 pts) 1. Use the law of reflection to find the focal point of the spherical convex mirror given in the template on the next page. To find the required normal lines of the mirror's surface, trace a thin line from the center of curvature through the mirror. A sample normal line (dotted) has been provided for you. It is best to use a protractor to make sure that the incident and reflected angle of your rays are exactly the same. 2. Now that you have found the focal point, place an object on the optical axis. Recall that when dealing with mirrors, all distances are measured with respect to the so-called vertex the point where the mirror intersects the optical axis. Use the following values: Object Distance: d. = 6 ſem Object Height: ho = 2 (cm) 3. Determine the image distance, di, image height, h, and magnification, M, by carefully graph- ing the parallel and chief rays and measuring the resulting image. Be mindful of the image orientation The process is similar to the one we use with lenses, except that the parallel ray passes from the tip of the object to the mirror and is then reflected through the focal point, and the chief ray passes from the tip of the object through the center of curvature. Their intersection de termines the image location.
