Figure 2.11 Parabolic trough collectors are used to generate electricity in southern California. (credit: “kjkolb”/Wikimedia Commons) We can define two general types of spherical mirrors. If the reflecting surface is the outer side of the sphere, the mirror is called a convex mirror. If the inside surface is the reflecting surface, it is called a concave mirror. With one axis you get a single mirror, with two axes four mirrors, and with all three axes eight mirrors. Bisect

Figure 2.12 (a) With spherical aberration, the rays that are farther from the optical axis and the rays that are closer to the optical axis are focused at different points. Notice that the aberration gets worse for rays farther from the optical axis. (b) For comatic aberration, parallel rays that are not parallel to the optical axis are focused at different heights and at different focal lengths, so the image contains a “tail” like a comet (which is “coma” in Latin). Note that the colored rays are only to facilitate viewing; the colors do not indicate the color of the light. Start by tracing a line from the center of curvature of the sphere through the geometric center of the spherical cap. Extend it to infinity in both directions. This imaginary line is called the principal axis or optical axis of the mirror. Any line through the center of curvature of a sphere is an axis of symmetry for the sphere, but only one of these is a line of symmetry for the spherical cap. The adjective "principal" is used because its the most important of all possible axes. Compare this with the principal of a school, who is in essence the most important or principal teacher. The point where the principal axis pierces the mirror is called the pole of the mirror. Compare this with the poles of the Earth, the place where the imaginary axis of rotation pierces the literal surface of the spherical Earth. The X, Y, Z axis along which to mirror, i.e. the axis perpendicular to the mirror plane of symmetry.

Step 5. If ray tracing is required, use the ray-tracing rules listed near the beginning of this section.

Step 6. Most quantitative problems require using the mirror equation. Use the examples as guides for using the mirror equation. It can also use another object as the mirror center, then use that object’s local axes instead of its own. Options  Our team can advise you on the best and most cost-effective option to suit your event and budget whether you want a small or giant inflatable mirror ball. If you would like to rent rather than buy an inflatable mirror ball – don’t worry, we have plenty to choose from. Inflatable mirror balls are the perfect addition or stand out feature for every event. In fact, inflatable disco balls are particularly popular during the festive period to add a little glitz and glamour to your promotion or events branding! Convex mirrors are diverging mirrors. Instead of converging onto a point in front of the mirror, here rays of light parallel to the principal axis appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror. We'll also call this location the focal point or focus of the mirror even though its disagrees with the original concept of the focus as a place where things meet up. In your best Russian reversal voice say, "In convex house, people go away from hearth" (or something like that, but funnier).so the UVs can be moved outside the image and not used for baking, but still be used for display. Vertex Groups The four principal rays intersect at point \(Q′\), which is where the image of point \(Q\) is located. To locate point \(Q′\), drawing any two of these principle rays would suffice. We are thus free to choose whichever of the principal rays we desire to locate the image. Drawing more than two principal rays is sometimes useful to verify that the ray tracing is correct. What are now usually called "disco balls" were first widely used in nightclubs in the 1920s. [1] They were patented in 1917. [2] An early example can be seen in the nightclub sequence of Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstadt, a German silent film from 1927. In the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, these devices were a standard piece of equipment in discothèques, and by the turn of the millennium, the name "disco ball" had grown quite popular. [ citation needed]
