The Learners Demonstrate An Understanding of The Images Formed by The Different Types of Mirrors and Lenses

The learners demonstrate an
understanding of the images

formed by the different
types of mirrors and lenses.
“Fun with Sticky Notes”
Each student will be given two

(2) sticky notes where they will
write a sub-concept(s) that is
related to Electromagnetic
wave.
To describe the
reflection of light in
curved mirrors.
Reflection of Light
Reflection – the turning back

of an electromagnetic wave
at the surface of a substance
Regular vs. Diffuse Reflection
Regular reflection: light

reflected from smooth
shiny surfaces, the
reflected rays are in
one direction/parallel
Diffuse reflection: light is

reflected from a rough
textured surface, the
reflected rays are
scattered in all direction.

upright(not inverted), small or
the same size as the object

mirrors.
2. Convex mirrors are

converging mirror
3. Concave mirror can form
only real image.
4. Convex mirror can form

virtual and real image.
Additional Learning Activities
Find the Difference:
Differentiate real and virtual

images, you may use a table to
find the difference between
the types of images.
Demonstrate an
understanding of the images
formed by the different
types of mirrors and lenses.
Demonstration:
Reflection of Light in
Plane Mirrors using a
Laser.
“Identify the
incident ray and
Reflected ray”
Reflection
Reflection from a mirror:
Normal
Incident ray Reflected ray
Angle of Angle of
incidence reflection
Mirror
Reflection of Light
Angle of incidence – the angle between a ray that

strikes a surface and the normal to that surface at
the point of contact.
Angle of reflection – the angle formed by the line
normal to a surface and the direction in which a
reflected ray moves
Normal is a line perpendicular to the reflection
surface.
The Law of Reflection
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
In other words, light gets reflected from a surface at

THE SAME ANGLE it hits it.
The
same !!!
Drawing a Reflected Image
Use ray diagrams to show

image location
We will find the virtual

image (the image formed by
light rays that only appear to
intersect)
Flat Mirrors
Image is VIRTUAL, UPRIGHT, UNMAGNIFIED

Activity No. 1 – “Mirror,
mirror on the wall…”
Guide Questions
1. Compare the distance

(number of parallel lines) from
the mirror of the object with
that of the image.
Answer
The distance (as indicated by

the number of parallel lines)
of the object from the mirror
is the same as the distance of
the image from the mirror
2. How did the height and
width of the object compare
with the height and width of
the image?
Answer
The height and the width of

the object is the same as
the height and width of the
image as seen from the
plane mirror.
3. What kind of image
formed by a plane mirror?
Answer
Plane mirror produced

a virtual image.
Developing Mastery
What is reflection of light?
• Reflection of light occurs

when light rays from light
source like the LASER
pointer directed at the
object bounce off the
object.
State and explain the law of
reflection.
 The law of reflection

states that the angle of
incidence is equal to the
angle of reflection.
Reflection
Reflection from a mirror:
Normal
Incident ray Reflected ray
Angle of Angle of
incidence reflection
Mirror
Differentiate incident ray
and reflected ray.
• Incident ray is the light

rays coming from the
source while the reflected
ray is the light ray coming
from the reflecting
surface.
Applications of concepts and
skills in daily living..
Why the word AMBULANCE

is written reversed?
The word AMBULANCE is
written in reverse because
plane mirror produce a reversed
image.
Check your Understanding!
1. The angle of reflection is always

greater than the angle of
incidence.
2. Plane mirrors produce a virtual

image.
3. Virtual image are images that
are upright and not in
reversed position.
4. The image of the object is

always the same size in any point
in front of the mirror.
Concave Mirrors
Concave Spherical Mirrors
A spherical mirror has the shape of part of a

sphere’s surface. The images formed are
different than those of flat mirrors.
Concave Spherical Mirror – an inwardly
curved, mirrored surface that is a portion
of a sphere and that converges incoming
light rays.
The light bulb is distance p
away from the center of the
curvature, C. Light rays leave
the light bulb, reflect from the
mirror and converge at distance
q in front of the mirror.
Because the reflected light rays
pass through the image point,
the image forms in front of the
mirror.
Concave Spherical Mirror
When an object changes its location in

relation to the mirror, its image changes in
location, and form.
If you were to place a sheet of paper at the

image point, you would see a clear, focused
image of the light bulb (a real image). If
the paper was placed in front of or behind
the image point, the image would be
unfocused.
Real image – an image formed when rays of

light actually intersect at a single point
Focal length – equal to half the radius of
curvature of the mirror.
Mirror equation: 1/p + 1/q = 2/R
1 + 1 = 2 .
Object distance Image distance radius of curvature
Or: 1/p + 1/q = 1/f
1 + 1 = 1 .
Object distance Image distance focal length
Object and image distances have a positive sign
when measured from the center of the mirror
to any point on the mirror’s front side.
Distances for images that form on the backside
of the mirror always have a negative sign.
The measure of how large or small the image is
with respect to the original object is called the
magnification of the image.
M = h’/h = -(q/p)
Magnification = image height = image distance

object height object distance
For spherical mirrors, three reference rays

are used to find the image point. The
intersection of any two rays locates the
image. The third ray should intersect at
the same point and can be used to check
the diagram.
Rules for drawing reference
rays
Ray Line drawn from object to Line draw from
mirror mirror to image
after reflection
1 Parallel to principal axis Through focal

point F
2 Through focal point F Parallel to

principal axis
3 Through center of curvature Back along itself

C through C
Ray 1
Ray 2
Ray 3
All three rays together
Spherical Mirrors - Concave
C F
Image is REAL, INVERTED, and DEMAGNIFIED !!!

When an object changes its location in

relation to the mirror, its image changes in
location, and form.
Object’s distance Type of Image Location of

focal length mirror

length and can’t be seen

point and mirror’s upright
surface
Distance greater than focal
length
Distance = focal length
Between focal length and
mirror
Spherical Mirrors – Concave
Object Inside the Focal Point
C F
Image is VIRTUAL, UPRIGHT, and MAGNIFIED

M= -(q/p)
We have p, but not q, so we need another
equation to find q.
1/p + 1/q = 1/f
We have p and f, so we can solve for q.
1/q = 1/f – 1/p
1/q = 1/f – 1/p
Substitute:
(1/10 cm) – (1/30 cm) = 1/q
Solve:
0.06667 cm = 1/q
q= 15 cm
Now with q we can substitute into the
original formula and solve.
M= -(q/p)
M= -(15 cm/30cm)
M= -0.50
This means that the image is smaller than
the object and inverted. Therefore it is a
real image.
Spherical Mirrors - Convex
Convex spherical mirror:

An outwardly curved,
mirrored surface that is
a portion of a sphere and
that diverges incoming
light rays
The focal point and

center of curvature are
situated behind the
mirror.
Spherical Mirrors - Convex
Convex mirrors take the

objects in a large field
of view and produce a
small image, but give a
the observer a complete
view of a large area.
Examples:
In stores, the
passenger’s side of a car
