Uses of Mirrors

and Lenses
REVIEW Recalling parts of the microscope
What is a microscope?

Microscope is an optical instrument used for viewing very small objects,

such as mineral samples or animal or plant cells, typically magnified several
hundred times.

What are the parts of the compound microscope?

ELICIT

What have you observed to the

five (5) parts of the microscope a
while ago?

They are mirror and

lenses.
ENGAGE
Can you describe what a mirror and a lens is?

Mirrors are polished or smooth surfaces that can reflect and form images.

Lens is a piece of glass or other transparent substance with curved sides for
concentrating or dispersing light rays, used singly (as in a magnifying
glass) or with other lenses (as in a telescope).
Types of mirrors and lenses

Uses of Mirrors
and Lenses
 Learning Competencies

Identify ways in which the properties of mirrors and lenses determine their use in
optical instruments (e.g., cameras and binoculars)
S10FE-IIh-52

Objectives:

At the end of the period, 85% of the students are expected to:

1. identify optical instruments

2. write down the uses of these optical instruments; and
3. recognize the importance of these optical instruments especially in this time
of health crisis.
 Unlocking of Words

1. Magnify – to make something appear larger than it is.

2. Concave lens – a lens that possesses at least one surface that curves
inwards.

3. Convex lens - characterized by its bulging surfaces that is directed outward

making it thicker at the center than on its edges.

4. Focal length - the distance between the center of a lens or curved mirror
and its focus.

EXPLAIN
Guide Questions
1. What property/ies of lenses is/are used in the formation of images in microscope,
telescope, and magnifying lens?

The focal length and magnification are the properties of lenses used in the
formation of images in microscope, telescope and magnifying lens.

2. How will you compare the telescope and microscope in terms of the kinds of lens used?

Telescope and microscope function the same as they allow people to view
objects not seen by the naked eye. Both instruments utilize convex lens to
magnify the object of interest.

 Other OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS AND USES:

Opthalmoscope is an instrument
that has a light and several small lenses on
it. Your eye doctor can look through the
lenses to examine your eye. They may ask
you to look in certain directions as they
conduct the examination.

Where do we use these optical instruments especially the compound
microscope?

We use compound microscope to see microscopic objects like

microorganisms and used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by
the naked eye.

How important are these especially in these time of health crisis, this Covid-19 pandemic?

Microscope help scientists see and study the characteristics of corona virus
which is not seen by the naked eye.

GENERALIZATION

Match the optical instruments to its uses below.

C B A
1. 3.

2.
A. Used to take pictures or capture image.
B. An instrument that has a light and several small lenses on it. Used by the doctor to
examine your eye.
C. Two telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point in the same direction,
allowing the viewer to use both eyes.
 ASSESSMENT
I. Identify what is described in the following sentences. Write the answer only on your sheet of paper.

1. (LECTOPESE) uses two converging lenses; objective lens is a very large that collects a large amount of light from a
distant object.

2. (OSCENDOPE) uses converging lens and has 2 optical cables; one carries light into the patient’s body and the other
one carries reflected light (image of patient’s body) back into the doctor’s eyepiece or into the camera that is connected
to a TV monitor.

3. It uses two convex lenses; first lens, called objective lens, is of very short focal length; second lens is the eyepiece
lens, has short focal length but longer than the objective lens. This is a (POCOMUND COPEROMISC).

4. A convex mirror that is usually outside on the passenger’s side is called (VEDRIR’S ROIRMR).

5. (COPERPEIS) consists of an outer case with mirrors at each end set parallel to each other at a 45° angle.
II. Match the uses in column I to its respective optical instrument in column II. Write the capital letter only.
