Optika Geometri • Part 3: Cermin Lengkung (Cermin Cekung & Cermin Cembung)

Summary

This video delves into the behavior of images formed by curved mirrors, explaining the principles of reflection for both concave and convex mirrors. It covers key concepts like image position, size, and orientation, with a focus on how the position of an object affects the properties of the image. The script introduces Dalil Esbach, which encapsulates rules for image formation, such as the relationship between the object and image positions, and how virtual or real images are formed. Overall, the content offers a clear and engaging overview of optics related to curved mirrors.

Takeaways

• 😀 The position of the object relative to a curved mirror affects the nature of the image (virtual or real), whether it's upright or inverted, and its size (magnified or reduced).
• 😀 When the object is in front of the mirror, the image formed can be either virtual and upright or real and inverted, depending on the object's position.
• 😀 The sum of the object’s position and the image’s position always equals 5 (Esbach’s first law). For example, if the object is at position 1, the image will be at position 4.
• 😀 A virtual image formed by a concave mirror is upright (tegak) and magnified (diperbesar), while a real image is inverted (terbalik) and can be either magnified or reduced depending on the object’s position.
• 😀 A concave mirror creates images in different regions: virtual images in space 4, real images in spaces 2 and 3, and depending on the object's position, the size of the image changes.
• 😀 A convex mirror always forms a virtual, upright, and reduced image, and the image is located in space 1.
• 😀 If the image’s position number is greater than the object’s position, the image is magnified. If the image’s position number is smaller, the image is reduced in size.
• 😀 When the object is at the center of curvature of a concave mirror, the image will be the same size and inverted.
• 😀 For every real object placed in front of a mirror, there is always a corresponding real or virtual image based on the position of the object.
• 😀 Esbach’s laws help summarize the behavior of images formed by mirrors, specifically focusing on the relationship between the object’s and image’s positions and their size changes.

Q & A

What happens to the image when the object is placed in space 1 in front of a concave mirror?

When the object is in space 1 in front of a concave mirror, the image formed is real, inverted, and magnified. The image is located in space 4.

How does the image behave when the object is placed in space 2 in front of a concave mirror?

When the object is in space 2, the image is real, inverted, and reduced. The image will be formed in space 3.

What is the nature of the image when the object is placed in space 3 in front of a concave mirror?

If the object is in space 3, the image formed is real, inverted, and reduced. It will be located in space 2.

What happens to the image when the object is placed in space 4 in front of a concave mirror?

When the object is in space 4, the image is virtual, upright, and magnified. The image will be formed in space 1.

What does Esbach's Law state regarding the sum of object and image spaces?

Eschbach's Law states that the sum of the object space number and the image space number always equals 5. For example, if the object is in space 1, the image will be in space 4, and so on.

How does the image behave in front of a convex mirror?

For a convex mirror, regardless of where the object is placed, the image formed is always virtual, upright, and reduced. The image is located in space 1.

What is the significance of the position of the image relative to the object in determining the size of the image?

The size of the image depends on its position relative to the object. If the image space number is greater than the object space number, the image will be magnified. Conversely, if the image space number is smaller, the image will be reduced.

What is the key characteristic of a virtual image formed by a mirror?

A virtual image formed by a mirror is always upright and cannot be projected onto a screen. It appears to be behind the mirror.

What happens if no image is formed when an object is placed at a specific position?

If no image is formed, such as when the object is placed at a certain point in front of the mirror, it indicates that the conditions for image formation (like light reflection) are not met.

Why is the position of the object relative to the mirror crucial in determining the properties of the image?

The position of the object relative to the mirror is crucial because it directly determines whether the image will be real or virtual, upright or inverted, and magnified or reduced. The distance and angle affect how the light rays reflect and converge to form the image.
