ANALYSIS/INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

First part involves the usage of three-surface mirror on a ray table perpendicular to the light

source, starting at 10⁰ with an increment of 10 obtaining a result of equal angle of incidence and

reflection. In the second part, two plane mirrors were facing at a specific angle above the ray table

with a pin. The no. of pin in the mirrors were counted then compared to the calculated number.

Most of our results had the same values as per observed. Third part is the comparison of

experimental and actual radius of curvature with both convex and concave mirrors obtaining

3.08% and 1.59% errors respectively. Lastly, determining the focal length in altering image and

object distance having the light source behind, infront and beside the screen. Later on comparing

the experimental and actual of the mirror which is 10+ cm. With the light source behind our ave.

focal length was 9.52cm with a difference of 4.92. Upon placing the light source infront the ave.

focal length was 9.5875 and 4.21% difference. Lastly, with the light source beside the screen with

an ave, focal length of 9.5625 and 4.43% difference.

be validated on our results. In determining the focal length and radius of a convex and concave

mirrors, it was then found that indeed the radius of curvature of a mirror is twice its focal length

by having an error of 3.08 and 1.59% respectively. Lastly, when the light source is behind screen

the image distance is larger than the object distance. While when the light source is infront the

screen the image distance is less than the object distance and when the light source and the screen

is beside each other, the object distance and the image distance is of the same length.

The light ray projected directly to the 3 surfaced mirror has the same reading with the light

ray it projected back. This affirms the theory that angle of incidence is equal with the angle of

reflection. If two plane mirrors were faced the no. of images it forms depends upon its angle. As

seen in TBL 2. The angle increases the number of images decreases which agrees to 𝐼 = − 1.

Our exp. values for both convex and concave is 13.4 and 12.8 with an error of 3.08% and 1.59%

confirms the theory that the radius of spherical mirrors is twice its focal length. Lastly, the image

equation was used for all three subparts that obtained the following percent differences; 4.92%,

4.41% and 4.43% thus greatly proves us that the focal length is equal to the product over sum of

both image distance and object distance regardless of its sequence in position.

My recommendation in order to further enhance this experiment and refine the

observations for this experiment would be to do more than just one trial in order to collect nearer

values. I also advise to do this in a darker place in order to lessen the errors and have a better view

of the experiment.
