1. Reflected Light

2. Activity - How Light is Reflected in a Plane Mirror
VOCABULARY
Plane mirror
Normal
Incident ray
Reflected ray
Angle of incidence
Angle of reflection

3. Characteristics of Images
FOUR CHARACTERISTICS OF IMAGES INCLUDE…
Location
An image may be the same distance, closer to, or farther from the mirror than the object.
2) Orientation
An image may be upright or inverted (upside-down)

4. 3) Size
An image may be the same size as, larger than or smaller than the object.
4) Type
An image may be real or virtual.

5. IMAGES IN A PLANE MIRROR
LOCATION The same distance from the mirror as the object
ORIENTATION Is upright
SIZE Same size as object
TYPE Is a virtual image

6. Light rays follow the laws of reflection when they reflect from a plane mirror
To find out where the image appears, extend the reflected rays backwards until they meet (shown by dotted lines)
Try to draw the image of the candle on your sheet!

7. A plane mirror produces an image almost identical to the object
BUT the image will be reversed.
What happens when you see a reflection of mountains in a lake?
Reversal is in vertical direction

8. Concave & Convex Mirrors

9. What are 2 ways that the images in the Cloud Gate are different than if the images were in a plane mirror?
VOCAB:
Concave
Convex
Converge
Diverge

10. TIME FOR A LAB... Concave vs. Convex Mirrors
In partners, get a light ray box & follow the instructions carefully!
The textbook will help you to complete parts of this lab.
