1. Identify the qualitative characteristics


(orientation, type, and magnification) of
images formed by plane and curved mirrors.
2. Determine the height, widt h , a n d t h e
distance from the mirror of the image
formed by plane mirrors.
3. Compare the actual height, width and the
distance from the mirror of the object with
that of the image formed by plane mirror.
- Is the bouncing off of light rays after hitting a surface.
Incident Ray
- The ray of light
approaching the
mirror.
Reflected Ray
- The ray of light that
leaves the mirror
and is represented
by an arrow
pointing away from
the mirror.
Normal line
- An imaginary line
that can be drawn
perpendicular to the
optical element.
- The FIRST LAW OF REFELECTION states that the
normal line, incident ray and reflected ray all lie in the
same plane.

What you see in the mirror is an image which appears to


be at the back of the mirror.
- The SECOND LAW OF REFELECTION states that the
angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

The angle is measured between the normal line and the


incident ray while the angle of reflection is measured
between normal line and the reflected ray.
-
- This is a reflection of light on smooth surfaces such
as mirrors or a calm body of water.
- this is a reflection of light on rough surfaces such
as clothing, paper, wavy water, and the asphalt
roadway.
PLANE MIRROR
- The reflecting
surface is flat.
- virtual
- Erect/upright
- same size as the
object
- Image distance=
object distance

LATERAL INVERSION
- The inversion you experienced is not caused
by the mirror, but by our perception of the
mirror image.
CURVED MIRROR
- The reflecting surface is a section of sphere.
CONCAVE MIRROR
- Light rays converge at one point after they
strike and are reflected from the surface.
- A.k.a converging mirror
CONVEX MIRROR
- Reflected surface bulges towards the light
source.
- A.k.a diverging mirror
- Virtual
- Upright
- Same size
- Behind the mirror
REAL IMAGE
- Inverted
- Formed infront of the mirror
- Size depends on the location of the object with
respect to the mirror.
VIRTUAL IMAGE
- Upright
- Formed at the back of the mirror
- Size depends on the size of the mirror
- virtual, upright
- formed at the back of the mirror
- same size, distance
-laterally reverse
- Virtual - Real
- Upright - Inverted
- Formed at the back - Formed infront of the
of mirror mirror
- Size of image is bigger - Size of image is smaller
than the object than the object
§ CONCAVE MIRROR
The characteristics of the images formed in the
concave mirror depends on the location of the
object.

- Virtual - Real
- Upright - Inverted
- Formed at the back - Formed infront of the
of mirror mirror
- Size of image is bigger - Size of image is smaller
than the object than the object
§ RAY DIAGRAM
- method used to predict the characteristics of
image formed in curved mirrors.

Light Ray Rules for Concave Mirror

1. Light rays parallel to the principal axis passes through or


diverge from focus after reflection.
2. Light rays passing through the focus is reflected as a ray
parallel to the x-axis.
Light Ray Rules for Concave Mirror

3. Light ray passing through or directed


towards the center of curvature retraces
its path after reflection.
4. Ray incident at pole is reflected back
making same angle with principal axis.
Light Ray Rules for Convex Mirror

1. Ray parallel to principal axis will pass


through focus after reflection.
2. Ray is directed towards focus will become
parallel to principal axis after reflection.
3. Ray passing through Center of curvature
will follow the same path back after
reflection.
4. Ray incident at pole is reflected back
making same angle with principal axis.

The sign convention for spherical
mirrors is a set of rules used to
determine the sign (positive or
negative) of various distances and
quantities involved in mirror optics.
This convention is important for
calculating image distances, object
distances and magnification.
The mirror formula is particularly useful for
determining the position and characteristics of an
image formed by a mirror.
The mirror formula is fundamental equation used to
relate the object distance (u), the image distance (v)
and the focal length (f) of a spherical mirror (either
concave and convex).

� is the focal length of the mirror


1 1 1 � is the image distance (the distance
+ = from the mirror to the image)
� � � � is the object distance (the
distance from the mirror to the object)
- Refers to the ratio of the height of an image to
the height of an object. It is denoted by m.
The magnification m is also related to the object
distance (u)and image distance (v).
- when a light ray passes from one
medium to another medium, its travelling
speed changes and results in change of its
direction.
- Why is spear-fishing so hard to do?
