Greetings

Good morning class! Good morning, Mr. Rhain! We are


glad to see you!

Please pick up all the pieces of paper and arrange (Students will pick up all the pieces

perspective area and arranged the
chairs.)

A. Activity Knowledge

Learning Task 1- Review

Before we proceed to our lesson, let’s have a Sir, we discussed about the
review. What is the topic yesterday? multiple images and the two types
of reflection.

Then, what is multiple images?


Multiple images are formed by the
reflection that happens when
Very good! arranging at least two mirrors.

What are the two types of a reflection?


The specular or regular reflection
and diffused or irregular reflection.
Excellent!

How does the concave mirror differ from the


Concave mirror is a curved mirror
convex mirror?
in which the reflective surface
bulges away from the light source
while the convex is a curved mirror
in which the reflective surface
bulges towards the light source.
You’re right!

It seems that you have an idea and knowledge


Yes, it is, no further questions
about light and reflection. Any further questions,
ma’am.
class?

Learning Task 2- Motivation

The class will bring a spoon and they will observe


the image they see in the two sides of the clear
spoon. The teacher will ask a few questions and
the students will response based on their own
idea.

 Have you seen your image on the two sides of


clear spoon?
 What do you notice about your image on each
of the two sides of the spoon?
 How will you compare your image from the
two sides of the spoon?
Sir, our topic for today is about the
Okay class, as we based on our activity what do curved mirrors.
you think is the lesson for today?

Excellent!

B. Lesson Proper

Learning Task 3- Activity


Now class let’s have a group activity. As you can
see I have here five envelopes. Inside the
envelope there have a special task to do.

I will divide you into five groups. Each group will


be given 10 minutes to do and observed the
activity. Don’t forget that you need to answer the
following guide questions that were given.

In doing the activity, you must consider the


following rubrics:

Presentation 35%
Content 25%
Organization 20%
Time 20%
TOTAL 100%

List down the names of your group member and


their part in the activity. Is it clear? Is there any
clarification?

Learning Task 4- Analysis When you bring the flashlight near


to the concave mirror, the size of

Excellent! The images formed by a concave

Therefore, images formed by


concave mirrors can be real and
Then, what kind of image was formed in concave virtual, depending on the location of

convex mirrors are virtual.

Good job!

Class, give yourself a fireworks clap!

Learning Task 5- Abstraction The center of curvature, vertex and


the focal point or focus.
Students, what are the three important points in
locating the image formed in curved mirrors?
Give the four principal rays in curved mirrors. The P – F ray, F – P ray, C – C ray,
and the V ray are the ‘Four
Principal Rays’ in curve mirrors.
These rays, applied for concave
and convex mirrors.

What is the used of ray diagramming? Ray diagramming is used in the


graphical method of locating the
image.

Why does the curved mirrors important in our As convex mirrors give a wider
everyday lives? Give an example. range of view than plane mirrors of
the same size, they are sometimes
used in shops and supermarkets to
watch for shoplifters. Shaving and
make-up mirrors are often concave
because they produce a magnified
image when held close.
Excellent! It means that you are really listening to
the topic.

Learning Task 6- Application

The class will observe the different kinds of curved


mirrors and they will identify what kind of curved
mirror presented in the screen. The class will also
answer the following question:
(Example answer)
What are the uses of these mirrors in our Head mirror is a concave mirror
everyday living? that is used E.N.T. specialist. They
put the concave mirror on their
patient’s forehead. When the light
rays from the light source is
reflected from the concave mirror, it
is focused into the ear, nose, or
throat of the patient making the
infected parts more visible.
VI. Evaluation

I.Direction: Bring out ¼ piece of paper.Write the correct answer.

________1. The point between the center of the curvature and vertex.
________2. It is used in the graphical method of locating the image.
________3. The center of the mirror
________4. The center of the sphere of which the mirror is part, its distance
fromthe mirror is known as the radius
________5. It is called Diverging Mirror because the parallel incident rays
diverge after reflection.

II. Give atleast five (5) uses of concave and convex mirror to our lives.
(5 pts.)

ANSWER:

1.Focal point
2. Ray diagramming

Activity 5
Images Formed by Curved Mirrors

Objective:
Describe the location, size, and orientation of the images formed by curved
mirrors.

Materials:
• Improvised optical bench • Screen or white cardboard
apparatus • Flashlight
• Curved mirror (concave and • Meter stick
convex) • Sheet of paper (colored black)
• Mirror stands

Procedure:

1. Cut a U-shaped object from a cartolina


with a size that fits the glass cover of the
flashlight. Attach the U-shaped object to the
cover of the flashlight. Refer to Figure 12.

2. Position the concave mirror intact with


the mirror stand at the center of two-meter sticks
as shown in Figure 13 below.

3. Mark the improvised optical bench or


meter sticks at the following points: the focal
point F (see the specified focal length on label
of the mirror), and the center of curvature, C
which is equal to 2F.

4. Place the flashlight at a distance


farther than the center of curvature, C in front
of the mirror.

5. Allow the light rays coming from the


flashlight to strike the mirror.

6. Place a screen (a white cardboard) at


a distance in front of the mirror. Move the screen in different distances in front of the
mirror until a clear and sharp image of the U-shape is formed on the screen. Note the
size and location of the image formed (on the screen).

7. Do the same thing in different location of the object by moving the flashlight at
the center of curvature C, near the focal point, F at the focal point, and between the
focal point and the mirror.

8. Repeat steps 3, 5, and 7 using a convex mirror.This time, you will not use the
screen. Look through the convex mirror to see the image.

Guide Questions:

Q12. What happens to the size and location of the image when you bring the
flashlight nearer to the concave mirror?

Q13. What is the generalization from the nature of images formed by convex
mirror and concave mirror?
