    This document discusses reflection of light and different types of mirrors. It describes plane mirrors, which form virtual images of the same size as the object. It also describes spherical mirrors, specifically concave mirrors which have a reflecting inner surface and convex mirrors which have a reflecting outer surface. Key terms for spherical mirrors are defined, including pole, center of curvature, radius of curvature, and focal length.

    Reflection of Light

    Light

    Light is an electromagnetic
    radiation which causes sensation of
    vision
    Types of Mirrors

    •1) Plane Mirrors


    •2) Spherical Mirrors

    •a) Concave Mirror


    •b) Convex Mirror
    Plane mirrors

     Plane mirrors are used in various


    activities in our day to day life
     A mirror is made by coating the back
    surface of a flat and smooth glass piece
    with a thin, reflecting film of aluminum
    or silver
    Ray diagram of
    Plane mirror
    • In a plane mirror, the angle of
    incidence(I) is always equal to
    angle of reflection(r)
    • The image formed by a plane
    mirror is of the same size of
    the source
    • The image formed by the plane
    mirror is Virtual.
    Spherical Mirrors

    • Generally, spherical mirrors are parts of a


    hollow glass sphere. 
    • The inner or outer surface of this part is
    coated with a shiny substance to produce a
    spherical mirror
    • Reflection of light takes place either from its
    outer or inner surface
    Terms related
    to spherical
    mirror
    • Pole(P): Pole is called the center of the mirror
    surface
    • Centre of Curvature(C): The center of the
    sphere of which the mirror is a part.
    • Radius of Curvature(R): The radius of the
    sphere of which the mirror is a part.
    • Focal Length(F) The distance between the
    pole and the principal focus of the mirror is
    called the focal length.
    Concave mirrors
    • If the inner surface of the spherical
    mirror is the reflecting surfaces, then it
    called a concave mirror
    Convex mirrors

    If the outer surface of the spherical


    mirror is the reflecting surface then
    it is called a convex mirror.
