Principle

By using geometric optics virtual images after reflection can be observed. A geometrical construction of the observed virtual image can be used.

 

Benefits

  • minimal preparation time
  • light-intense halogen lamp
  • easy teaching by using the demo board for demonstration
  • ideal complement to analog student experiments by directly comparable devices

 

Tasks

Draw the paths of the rays. Complete the light paths in front of the mirrors and extend all reflected rays behind the mirrors and connect the thus determined virtual image points to form a complete image.
