Answer the following questions by reviewing your data and using the interactive: Use any data of your choice and the lens/mirror equation to calculate the focal lengths for both the convex lens and the concave mirror.
In one or two sentences, compare the data you collected in Table 1 and Table 2.
When it comes to how ray lines are drawn, what makes the convex lens and concave mirror similar to each other?
What range of do values will result in a real image? Infer this information for both the lens and mirror based on the data collected. Report these ranges in terms of f and/or 2f. For example, “When do is less than 2f.”
What range of do values will result in a virtual image? Infer this information for both the lens and mirror based on the data collected. Report these ranges in terms of f and/or 2f. For example, “When do is less than 2f.”
What does it mean when di is negative?
What happens when do = f?
What range of do values will result in a smaller image? Infer this information for both the lens and mirror based on the data collected. Report these ranges in terms of f and/or 2f. For example, “When do is less than 2f.”
