Physics - SALT characteristics for mirrors AND lenses Flashcards
Converging (convex) lens, object between 2F’ and F’
Smaller, inverted, between F and 2F and behind lens, real
Converging lens: is F’ on the left or the right?
left
Diverging lens: is F’ on the left or the right?
right
Converging lens, object at 2F’
Same size, inverted, at 2F, real
Converging, object beyond 2F’
smaller, inverted, between F and 2F, real
Converging lens, object within F’
larger, upright, behind object, virtual
What else can we call F’?
F prime, aka secondary principal focus
Any diverging lens
Smaller, upright, in front of object (same side of lens), virtual
Concave mirror
concave/convex=converging diverging memory aid??
cave: diver (concave is diverging)
C,F,V order memory aid?
if we start at the point furthest from the mirror, it is in alphabetical order
Concave mirror, object beyond C
smaller, inverted, same side of mirror between C and F, real
Concave mirror, between C and F
larger, inverted, Beyond C, same side, real
concave mirror, between F and V
larger, upright, behind mirror, virtual
concave mirror, at C
same size, inverted, at C, real (to remember: the SEA/C: looks like a reflection in the water)
