In this experiment, you will explore the characteristics of the real and virtual images formed by curved mirrors. Then you will develop a mathematical relationship describing the relationship between the positions ofthe object and the real image formed by concave mirrors.  \nOBJECTIVES  \nIn this experiment, you will  \nl Use curved mirrors to produce real and virtual images.  \nl Explore how the position of the object affects the appearance, orientation, and size of real images produced by concave mirrors.  \nl Explore how mirror characteristics and the position of the object affect the appearance, orientation, and size of virtual images produced by concave and convex mirrors.  \nl Determine the relationship between object distance, image distance, focal length, and magnification in real images produced by concave mirrors.  \nMATERIALS  \nGraphical Analysis Pro  \nVernier Combination Dynamics Track/Options Bench  \nVernier Optics Expansion Kit  \nVernier Mirror Set  \nsmall plane mirror  \n3\" × 5\" index card  \nPRE-LAB INVESTIGATION  \n1. Place the convex mirror at one end of the track. Position your eye at the other end of the track and examine the image of yourself. In what way does the image of yourself differ from that which you would see if you were looking into a plane mirror? How does the image change when you move the mirror closer to you?  \n2. Replace the convex mirror with the concave one and move it to the end of the track. As you did before, position your eye at the other end of the track and examine the image of yourself. In what ways does the image of yourself differ from that which you observed with the convex mirror? What happens to the image when you move your head slightly from side to side?  \n3. Gradually move the concave mirror closer to you. How does this affect the image you observe? What happens to the image when the mirror is approximately 20 cm from your eye?  \nIn your class discussion, you will learn how the use of ray diagrams can help you to determine how and where light from a particular point on an object converges to form an image.  \nAdvanced Physics with Vernier-Beyond Mechanics © Vernier Science Education 15-1  \nPROCEDURE  \nPart 1 Concave mirror and real images  \n1. Set up the light source and concave mirror to project a clear image on the half screen.  \na. Attach the light source assembly from the Optics Expansion Kit to the track. Position it so that the pointer in the base is at the 10 cm mark and the light source faces the other end of the track (see Figure 1) .  \nb. Place the concave mirror near the other end of the track so that it faces the light source. Attach the half screen to the track between the light source and the mirror.  \nc. Turn the light source wheel until the number \"4\" is visible in the opening. This will be your \"object\" for this investigation.  \nd. Adjust the position of the screen until the image of the \"4\" on the screen is in focus. You may need to adjust the angle of the mirror in its holder so that the image projected by the mirror shows on the screen. One approach to obtain the sharpest image, once you think you have it, is to move the screen in either direction until the image begins to blur, then move it back until it again appears sharp.  \nFigure 1  \n2. Describe the size, shape, and orientation of the image.  \n3. Now, move the mirror to the 100 cm mark, then move the screen toward the mirror until you can see a sharp image of the \"4\" on the half screen. Record the distance between the light source and the mirror as \"object distance\" and the distance between the mirror and the screen as \"image distance\" in your lab notebook.  \n4. Obtain object distance and image distance data for four more points, moving the mirror 10 cm cl","cbCaivnFxiP13B84","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivnFxiP13B84","pdf",2031996,"English","# INTRODUCTION\n# OBJECTIVES\n# MATERIALS\n# PRE-LAB INVESTIGATION\n# PROCEDURE\n## Part 1 Concave mirror and real images\n## Part 2 Convex mirror and virtual images","[{\"question\":\"What images will students analyze in this experiment?\",\"answer\":\"The experiment examines real images formed by concave mirrors and virtual images formed by convex mirrors, including how they appear, orient, and change with object position.\"},{\"question\":\"How are object distance and image distance determined for concave mirrors?\",\"answer\":\"Students focus the projected image on the screen, then record the distance from the light source to the mirror as object distance and the distance from the mirror to the screen as image distance.\"},{\"question\":\"How are virtual images located for a convex mirror?\",\"answer\":\"A parallax technique using an index-card marker is used, allowing students to infer the virtual image position because it cannot be projected onto a screen like a real image.\"}]","Graphical Analysis 15 - Curved Mirrors and Images - Lab | PDF",1792972127,13]
