• Plane mirror -is mirror with a flat reflective


surface.
• Spherical Mirror
• Concave Mirror
• Convex Mirror
Concave Mirror

•It is a curved mirror in


which the reflective surface
bulges away from the light
source
•It is called converging
mirror
Convex Mirror

• It is a curved mirror in
which the reflective surface
bulges towards the light
source
• It is called diverging mirror
Uses of spherical mirror
• Plane mirror is a mirror with a flat
reflective surface.
• The image appears as if it is
behind the mirror but actually
not, so the image is virtual.
• Plane mirror produced an effect
called lateral inversion, it reverse
image from left to right.
• A virtual image is a copy of an
object formed at the location
from which the light rays appear
to come.
• Incident Ray - The ray of light that ente
rs the mirror, illustrated by an arrow ap
proaching a mirror like optical feature.
• Reflected Ray -
