reflection
The laws of reflection state that:
1.the incident ray, the reflected ray, and
the normal line to the reflecting surface
all lie in the same plane; and

2. the angle of incidence is equal to the


angle of refelection
Reflection of Light Ray in a
plane

mirrors
reflection in plane mirror

When light hits an object, every part


of that object reflects light in all
direction. Some of the reflected light
reaches our eyes. Thus, we can see
an object
characteristics of images formed by a plane mirror

• Image is virtual
• Same size as the object
• Same orientation as the object
• Same distance from the mirror
as the object
left-right reversal

If you raise your left hand, you will


notice that the image raises what
would seem to be its right hand. If you
raise your right hand, the image raises
what would seem to be its left hand.
This is often termed left-right reversal.

reflection in spherical
mirrors
2 types of spherical mirror

01 02
CONCAVE CONVEX
CONCAVE

It reflects light inward to one focal


point. It is used to focus light.

This is also known as the converging


mirror for it has a reflecting surface that
is recessed inward or away from the
incident light.
CONVEX

It reflects light outwards; therefore,


they are not used to focus light.

It is also called diverging mirror


which the reflective surface bulges
towards the light source.
2 types FORMED BY
REFLECTING SURFACES

01 02
REAL VIRTUAL
IMAGE IMAGE
REAL IMAGE

• A real image is formed when


light rays actually meet after
reflection.
• A real image can be formed on
a screen.
• A real image is inverted with
respect to the object.
virtual image

• A virtual image is formed when light


rays do not actually intersect after
reflection, but they appear to diverge
from the mirror.
• A virtual image cannot be formed on a
screen.
• A virtual image is erect with respect to
the object.
ray diagram and image formation by plane
mirror

A plane mirror makes an image


of objects in front of the mirror;
the image appears to be behind
the plane in which the mirror lies.
Images Formed by Curved Mirrors

• Center of Curvature, – the center of


• the sphere whose surface forms the
• curved mirror
•  Focal Point, – where the light rays
• meet
•  Vertex, – the point where the
• principal axis meets the mirror
•  Principal Axis – the straight line
• passing through the center of
• curvature to the mirror
•  Focal Length, – the distance from
• the focal point to the vertex
•  Radius of Curvature, – the distance
• from the vertex to the center of the
• curvature
