Write your ideas on the lines below. Mark the Text Identify Concepts Highlight each question heading in this section. Then use a different colour to highlight the answers to the questions. reflected light rays converge at the focal point incoming light rays are parallel to one another focal point Section 5.2 Summary reflected light rays diverge so they do not meet incoming light rays are parallel to one another focal point Reading Check 1. How is a concave different from a convex? What are three common types of s? There are three common types of s: 1. A plane is a with a flat surface. You might find a plane on a bathroom wall or cabinet. 2. A concave is a that curves inward, like the inside of a spoon. A flashlight has a concave behind the bulb. Shaving s and make-up s are concave, too. 3. A convex is a that curves outward, like the outside of a spoon. Some bicycle s are convex. The large, curved s that are used for security in many stores are convex, too. 74 MHR Section 5.2 Using Mirrors to Form Images 2006 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited

2 Section 5.2 Summary What happens when light rays strike curved s? You learned what happens to light rays when they reflect from a plane in section 5.1. Light rays behave in a different way when they reflect from curved s. The light rays that reflect from a concave meet (converge) at a single point. This point is called a focal point because the light rays focus together there. Light rays that meet at a focal point are called converging light rays. The light rays that reflect from a convex spread out (diverge). Light rays that spread out after they reflect from a convex are called diverging light rays. continued Reading Check 2. What is the difference between light rays that are converging and light rays that are diverging? How do the images formed in s compare? All s form images of s because s reflect the light that strikes them in a regular pattern. How the image looks depends on whether the is flat or curved. Appearance of image Plane Concave (if is near the ) Concave (if is far from the ) Convex Object Object as seen in plane Object as seen in concave (near ) Object as seen in concave (farther from ) Object as seen in convex Location Size behind the same size as behind the larger than Shape same shape different shape in front of the smaller than different shape behind the smaller than different shape Left-right orientation Up-and-down orientation reversed reversed reversed reversed upright upright upside down upright 2006 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited Section 5.2 Using Mirrors to Form Images MHR 75

6 Using Lenses to Form Images Textbook pages Section 5.3 Summary Before You Read Many common devices, such as eyeglasses and magnifying glasses, have lenses. What are lenses used for? Record your ideas in the lines below. State the Main Ideas As you read this section, stop after each paragraph. Put what you have just read into your own words. incoming light rays concave lens refracted light rays are diverging What is a lens? A lens is a piece of transparent material that is curved so that light rays will refract as they pass through it. The more curved the sides of a lens are, the more a ray of light will refract as it passes through the lens. There are two types of lenses: concave and convex. Reading Check 1. What happens to light rays that pass through a concave lens? What is a concave lens? A concave lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges refracts light rays that pass through it away from the normal. The light rays diverge and do not meet at a focal point. forms images that are upright forms images that are smaller than the 80 MHR Section 5.3 Using Lenses to Form Images 2006 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited

7 Section 5.3 Summary What is a convex lens? A convex lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. refracts light rays that pass through it toward the normal. The light rays converge at a focal point. The image formed by a convex lens depends on how far the is from the focal point. The distance from the centre of the lens to the focal point is called the focal length. If an is between the lens and the focal point (less than one focal length), the image is upright and larger than the. If an is more than one focal length away from the lens, the image is upside down and smaller than the Distance of an from the convex lens How the image compares with the continued Reading Check 2. What is the focal length of a lens? more than two focal lengths between one and two focal lengths directly at the focal point less than one focal length upside down and smaller upside down and larger no image forms upright and larger convex lens focal length incoming light rays focal point 2006 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited Section 5.3 Using Lenses to Form Images MHR 81
