Powerpoint in Science

The presentation covers the definitions and types of mirrors and lenses, highlighting their applications in various fields such as grooming, vehicle lighting, and optical instruments. It discusses vision conditions like nearsightedness and farsightedness, and explains how devices like compound microscopes and projectors utilize lenses to magnify images. Additionally, it describes the functioning of the human eye as a natural lens system that inverts images for proper vision.

Summary of the

PowerPoint
Presentation on
the Uses of
Mirrors and
Lenses
Mirrors:

- Definition: Reflective surfaces that create real or virtual


images by bouncing light.
- Types: Plane, convex (diverging), and concave (converging)
mirrors.
Applications of Mirrors:

- Plane Mirrors:

- Periscopes and Kaleidoscopes: Used in submarines for viewing


and creating colorful patterns.
- Looking Glasses: Essential for daily grooming activities.
- Solar Cookers: Reflect sunlight for efficient cooking.
- Concave Mirrors:
- Vehicle Headlights: Focus light into parallel beams for better
visibility.
- Shaving Mirrors: Provide magnified reflections for grooming.
- Dental Mirrors: Help dentists examine teeth.
- Solar Furnaces: Concentrate light to generate heat.
- Convex Mirrors:

- Rear View Mirrors: Offer a wide view of the area behind


vehicles.
- Shop Security Mirrors: Enhance visibility in stores to monitor
shoppers.
Lenses:

- Definition: Transparent materials that allow light to pass


through, available in convex (converging) and concave
(diverging) types.
Applications of Lenses:

- Optical Instruments:
- Cameras: Control light with shutter and aperture for
photography.
- Human Eye: Functions similarly to a camera.
- Telescopes: Use multiple lenses for magnification of distant
objects.
- Binoculars: Provide a stereoscopic view of distant scenes.
- Compound Microscopes: Employ multiple lenses for high
magnification.
Vision Conditions:

- Nearsightedness (Myopia): Clear vision for nearby objects but


blurriness for distant ones.
- Farsightedness (Hyperopia): Clear vision for distant objects
while nearby objects appear blurry.
THANKYOU
The Compound Microscope
• Works very similar to the refracting telescope in that it
enlarges small objects.
• Uses 2 converging lenses of short focal l
The Projector
• A series of converging lenses are uses to show enlarged
images of slides or movies. One set of lenses is used to send
intensely bright light through the slide or negatives and a
second lens, the projection lens, can be slid back and forth to
focus the image.
*The eye is set up to be a basic lens and receiver of light
*The lens bends the light which forms an image so that it inverts
at a focal point
*The brain compensates for this natural inversion due to the lens,
and re-inverts the Image, so that we see properly
*The pupil and iris also work optically to change the amount of
light flow into the eye, effectively darkening or brightening the
image, depending on the amount of light let into the eye
