Reflection is the bouncing of light off a surface.

A plane mirror has a flat reflective surface, and it produces an image that is the same size as the object.

A normal line is an imaginary line that is perpendicular to the surface where light hits.

The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal line.

The angle of reflection is the angle between the reflected ray and the normal line.

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, and the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal line all lie in the same plane.

Light travels at a speed of approximately 3 x 10⁸ meters per second (m/s).

A protractor is a tool used to measure angles.

A flat, smooth reflecting surface that produces a virtual, upright, and laterally inverted image. The image appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front.

A curved mirror that curves inward, creating a converging beam of light. The image formed can be real or virtual, depending on the object's position.

A curved mirror that curves outward, creating a diverging beam of light. It always produces a virtual, upright, and smaller image than the object.

A property observed in images formed by mirrors where left and right are reversed.

An image that appears to be located behind the mirror or lens, but cannot be projected onto a screen.

An image that can be projected onto a screen, formed by the actual convergence of light rays.

An image that is oriented in the same direction as the object.

An image that is oriented upside down compared to the object.

Another name for a convex mirror, as it causes light rays to spread out.

The center of the sphere whose surface forms the curved mirror.

The point where parallel light rays converge after reflecting off a curved mirror.

The point where the principal axis intersects the mirror.

The straight line passing through the center of curvature of the mirror.

Plane mirrors produce virtual images that are the same size as the object, have the same orientation as the object, and are the same distance from the mirror as the object.

Reflection from a smooth surface where light rays reflect at a definite angle.

Reflection from a rough surface where light rays scatter in many directions.

A plane mirror doesn't actually reverse left and right, but rather flips the image front to back, making it appear as if left and right are reversed. This is because the image is reflected along the vertical axis.

Ambulance lettering is written laterally so that when viewed in a rearview mirror, the image is inverted and the word is readable, allowing drivers to give way to the ambulance.

Real images are formed when light rays actually converge and pass through the image. These images can be projected onto a screen because they exist physically.

Virtual images are formed when light rays do not actually converge and pass through the image. They appear to be behind the mirror or lens, but they are not physically present.

A curved mirror that curves inward like a cave. It can form real or virtual images.

A curved mirror that curves outward.

A lens that is thicker at the center and curves outward. It is a converging lens that focuses light rays to a point.

A lens that is thinner at the center and curves inward. It is a diverging lens that spreads out light rays.

A lens that spreads out light rays. It is thinner at the center and curves inward.
