Mirror Ray Tracing

镜面光线追踪

Mirror ray tracing is similar to lens ray tracing in that rays parallel to the optic axis and through the focal point are used. A third useful ray is that through the center of curvature since it is normal to the mirror and retraces its path backward.

镜面光线追踪与透镜光线追踪类似,都使用与光轴平行并通过焦点的光线。另一条有用的光线是通过曲率中心的光线,因为这条光线与镜面垂直,并在反方向上重trace其路径。

Convex Mirror Image

凸面镜成像

A convex mirror forms a virtual image.The cartesian sign convention is used here.

凸面镜形成虚像。这里使用笛卡尔符号约定。

Using a ray parallel to the principal axis and one incident upon the center of the mirror, the position of the image can be constructed by back-projecting the rays which reflect from the mirror. The virtual image that is formed will appear smaller and closer to the mirror than the object.

利用一条平行于主轴的入射光线和一条经过镜面中心的光线,可以通过反向投影反射光线来确定像的位置。形成的虚像将比物体更小且更靠近镜面。

Concave Mirror Image

凹面镜成像

If the object is outside the focal length, a concave mirror will form a real, inverted image. The cartesian sign convention is used here.

如果物体位于焦点之外,凹面镜将形成一个实像,且像与物体方向相反。这里使用的是笛卡尔符号约定。

Concave Mirror Image

凹面镜成像

If an object is placed inside the focal length of a concave mirror, and enlarged virtual and erect image will be formed behind the mirror. The cartesian sign convention is used here.

如果一个物体放在凹面镜的焦距以内,会在镜后形成放大且正立的虚像。这里使用的是笛卡尔符号约定。

将物体移出焦点长度
