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)
Concave mirror, at F
no image formed because all rays are parallel
Any convex mirror
smaller, upright, behind mirror between F and V, virtual
curved mirrors: are C,F, V inside or outside the spoon
ALWAYS inside. This means on the left side for concave and the right side for convex (also means same side as object for concave and opposite side for convex)
