MIRRO RS Science 10 2nd Quarter We all have mirrors at home. When we look at the mirror, we can see our own image in the mirror. That image is produced by the reflection of light rays.

IMAGE FORMED BY PLANE MIRROR Mirrors have many uses. The mirror we commonly use at home is called PLANE MIRROR. Plane mirrors are very useful because they form an image that is exactly the same with the actual object in terms of position and size. We can describe the image formed by a mirror in terms of… Location In front of the Behind the mirror mirror Orientation Upright/ Erect Inverted Size Reduced or Same Size Enlarged Type Virtual Real Orientation – pertains to the position of the image in relation to the object Inverted Upright Size – pertains to the size of the image formed in relation to the object Reduced Same size Enlarged TYPE: Real vs. Virtual Image Front of the Mirror/Reflec tive Side of the Mirror Seems to appear behind the mirror Seems to appear in front of the mirror We can describe the image formed by a mirror in terms of… Location In front of the Behind the mirror mirror Orientation Upright/ Erect Inverted Size Reduced or Same Size Enlarged Type Virtual Real Describe the image formed by the plane mirror in terms of its L- O-S-T PLANE MIRROS produce image that are… Location Behind the mirror In front of the mirror Orientation Upright/ Erect Inverted Size Reduced or Enlarged Same Size Type Virtual Real Have you noticed the word ‘AMBULANCE’ in an ambulance car? How is it written? Did you ever wonder why it is written that way? This is the answer! Mirror Left-Right Reversal Effect The girl in the picture is brushing her teeth using her left hand. However, you will see in the image formed that she is brushing her teeth with her left hand. This effect is known as the mirror left-right reversal. Mirror Left-Right Reversal Effect ACTIVITY : Investigat ing Mirrors I. Objectives: a. Investigate the characteristics of the types of mirrors. II. Materials: - Set of Mirrors III. Procedures: 1.You will be given one (1) set of mirrors. Ensure that each set of mirrors must have three (3) different types. 2.Study and observe the different sets of mirrors in terms of their characteristics. 3.Write your observations on the given table and answer the following guide questions. LAWS OF REFLECTION (IMAGES FORMED BY PLANE MIRROR) Objectives: Explain the process of reflection on plane mirrors; Illustrate images formed in plane mirrors using ray diagram (four principal ray); Determine the qualitative characteristics of images formed in plane mirrors. Two Types of Mirror Plane Mirrors Curved Mirrors are mirrors with flat surface; are mirrors with curved these are the usual mirrors we reflecting surface and derived use in our houses that show our from a spherical mirror. reflection. Activity: Angle of Incidence vs. Angle of Reflection Compare the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection. State one of the laws of reflection. Setup: Plane Mirror Protrac tor Laser Additional Terms: Incident ? Ray- the ray of light approaching the mirror. Represented by an arrow approaching the mirror. Reflected ? Ray- the ray of light which leaves the mirror. Represented by an arrow pointing away from the mirror. Normal ? Line- an imaginary line that can be drawn perpendicular to the mirror's surface.

Extend your reflected Normal ray at the back of your line mirror (you may use broken line). The intersection of your light ray marks the tip of your image. IMAGES FORMED BY CURVED MIRRORS Science 10 2nd Quarter- Week 5 Compare the plane and curve mirror Construct a ray diagram for plane mirror. Decode the given symbolic representations to identify the characteristics of a plane mirror. U P R I G H T V I R T U A L S A M E S I Z E Describe the IMAGE formed by a Plane Mirror using the LOST format. Aside from plane mirrors, there are also other types of mirror that can produce images… these are known as spherical mirrors or curved mirrors. Two Types of Curved Mirror Concave Mirror- the Convex Mirror- the reflective surface reflective surface bulges towards from bulges away from the the light source also light source. Also known as known as diverging converging mirror mirror. Reflected light rays “converge” Reflected light rays “diverge” Important Points Center of Curvature (C)- the center of the sphere of which the mirror is part. Vertex (V)- the center of the mirror. Focal Point/Focus (F)- the point between the center of curvature and vertex. Principal Axis (P)- an imaginary line that going through the vertex that is perpendicular to the Describing the image formed using L-O- S-T LOCATION ORIENTAT SIZE TYPE L ION O S T beyond C Upright Reduce Virtu at C Inverted d al between C and Enlarge Real F d at F Same between F and Size V RAY DIAGRAM Helps us predict the qualitative characteristics of the image that will be formed in the mirror in terms of its L-O-S-T by using arrows and lines that represent light rays. Case 1: Object is located beyond C STEP 1-From the tip of an object, draw a line parallel to the principal axis and reflects back passing through the focus (F). STEP 2-From the tip of an object, draw a line that passes through the focus (F) and reflects back parallel to the principal axis. Image formed Describe the image formed in terms of its L-O-S-T L- bet C & F- O inverted S- reduced T- real Image formed LOST if the object is beyond C Case 2: Object is located at C STEP 1-From the tip of an object, draw a line parallel to the principal axis and reflects back passing through the focus (F). STEP 2-From the tip of an object, draw a line that passes through the focus (F) and reflects back parallel to the principal axis. Image formed Describe the image formed in terms of its L-O-S-T L- at C O- inverted S- same size T- real Image formed LOST if the object is located at C Case 3: Object is located between C and F STEP 2-From the tip of an object, draw a line that passes through the focus (F) and reflects back parallel to the principal axis.

No Image formed Case 5: Object is located between F and V STEP 1-From the tip of an object, draw a line parallel to the principal axis and reflects back passing through the focus (F). STEP 2-From the tip of an object, draw a line that passes through the focus (F) and reflects back parallel to the principal axis.

The location of the object does not affect the characteristics of the image. As such, the characteristics of the images formed by convex mirrors are easily predictable. L- behind the mirror O- upright S- reduced T- virtual Image formed Use of Concave Mirrors The images formed by concave mirrors are usually larger than the actual object, that is the reason why dentists use concave mirrors when checking our teeth to see a larger view of them. Use of Convex Mirrors The images formed by convex mirrors are usually smaller than the actual size of the object. These mirrors are usually used for security purpose in store because they give a wider reflected view allowing owners to see a large area of the store.
