Activity 2 Plane Mirrors

1. The document describes an experiment to determine the characteristics of images formed by plane mirrors. It involves measuring the distance, height, and width of objects and their mirror images. 2. The objectives are to determine the height, width, and distance from the mirror of images and compare these values to the actual object. 3. Questions are included to analyze the results, such as comparing distances and sizes of objects to their images.

ACTIVITY 2: CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANE MIRRORS

PART A. Objectives
1. Determine the height, width and the distance from the mirror of the image formed by plane mirrors
2. Compare the actual height, width and distance from the mirror of the object with that of the image formed by mirror.

PROCEDURE:
1. Using a pen, mark three (3) different marks along the intersections on the graphing paper in front of the mirror.
2. Measure the distance of each mark from the mirror by counting the number of parallel lines between the mark and
the base of the plane mirror.
3. Look at the images of the marks formed by the mirror. Measure the distance of each image from the mirror by
counting the number of parallel lines between the image and the base of the mirror.

Table 1. Distance of the Object & the Image from the Mirror
Number of Parallel Lines
Mark Between the Mark Between the Image
and the Mirror and the Mirror
Mark 1
Mark 2
Mark 3

Question 1. Refer to table 1, compare the distance (number of parallel lines) from the mirror of the object with
that of the image.
_______________________________________________________________________________

4. Stack 10 pieces of one-peso coin in front of the plane mirror as in Figure 2. Using a ruler, measure the height and width
of the stack of coins. Measure also the height and width of the image as seen on the mirror.

Table 2. Height and Width of Object and Image


Description Object Image
Height (cm)
Width (cm)

Question 2. How do the height of the object compare with the height of the image?
____________________________________________________________________________
Question 3. How do the width of the object compare with the width of the image?
____________________________________________________________________________
PART B. Objectives
1. Describe the images formed by plane mirror.
2. Show an understanding of reversal effect in mirrors by writing laterally inverted letters and words.

PROCEDURE:
1. Place the alphabet chart in front of the plane mirror. Identify all capital letters in the alphabet that can be read
properly in front of the mirror.
2. Write at least 3 words (all in capital letters) that can be read properly both with a mirror and without a mirror in front
of it.
Question 1. What are the letters of the alphabet (in capital) that can be read properly in front of the mirror?
________________________________________________________________________

Question 2. Think of three (3) words (in capital letters) that can be read properly both with a mirror and without a
mirror. What are these words?
________________________________________________________________________
Question 3. Write the sentence “Honesty is the best policy.” below in such a way that it can be read properly in
front of a mirror: __________________________________________________
