Refraction

refraction
The image shows refraction with a converging lens. This is refraction because the image is resized and upright. The converging lens is indented in the center, so it takes in light and resizes the image to look smaller.

Reflection.

 

This illustrates, reflection since the other item could be seen of the guitar polished board. the light reflecting on the board, has enough light for it to reflect the image of the other things that could be seen, and it follows the  law of reflection too.

The windows are similar to a mirror because as you can see, the windows above are getting reflected off of the blue windows. It acts as a mirror and reflects the same real image exactly like the original image. Frankie covello

This photo illustrates reflection of light by showing an inverted image of the original image, which we would call a real image.
This is a picture of reflection. The light bounces off the window and forms the same image an equal amount of distance from the reflection point. It acts as a mirror because it is reflected similar to a mirror.

Mirrors and Lenses Photo Project

This photo demonstrates both reflection and refraction. This picture is of a poster that has a glass cover on it. Depending on the angle of light you could either see the light refracted from the glass and the poster itself or you could see a reflected image of whatever/whoever walked by. In this picture i captured an reflected image of a few students walking past while also having the poster in focus. You can also see the reflected image of the hallway and the ceiling lights.

Mirror and Lenses Photo project


For this project, I used a diverging lens with a rounded mirror. The lens I used made everything behind it smaller, bending the light. The mirror I used also reflected everything smaller because it had a slight curve like one used on a car. I used this and the mirror to make my face much smaller than it would be with a regular mirror.

 For this project, I used  a converging lens on a extensions packet to show refraction. When I put the lens over the packet, the words on the packet are flipped upside down. This is because the light going through the lens is being bent or is being refracted causing our perception of the image through the lens to be reversed. To be more specific, the light goes through the focal point to create this reversed and reduced image.

          In this picture, I used two diverging lenses to see the red cup. I saw the red cup through both of these lenses by reflection. First, I placed the red cup on the table then I held up one of the diverging lenses to see the cup. Through the one lens, the cup looked like it a lot farther away then it actually was. Then, I decided to put a second lens in front of the first one which made the cup look like it was even more farther away. The way this worked was the with the first lens, the cup reflected off the lens which is why I was able to see it. Same thing happened with the second lens, it reflected off the first, then the second which is why I could see the red cup through both lenses.

My photo reflects refraction. We know this is refraction because our image is right side up, enlarged and real. This image is right side up, enlarged,and real due to the fact that the lense was convex. Convex lenses are flat and when you pull the lens away, the image becomes magnifyed.
