1
Laterally Inverted An image that is laterally inverted means is inverted from left to right. The right side of the object appears as its left side, and vice versa.
2
Which is the object? Which is the image?
3
Ray model of Light Light moves in a straight line
Luminous objects such as candles radiate light in all directions We depict this using a light ray Light ray: a line on a diagram representing the direction and path that light is travelling
4
Images and Reflections
Light ray: a line on a diagram representing the direction and path that light is travelling\ Image: reproduction of an object through the use of light Reflection: the bouncing back of light from a surface
5
Reflection in a Plane Mirror
incident ray reflected ray normal angle of incidence angle of reflection mirror
6
The Laws of Reflection The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection The incident ray, reflected ray, and normal all lie in the same plane
7
How we see light Light reflects off of objects and enters our eye
Because light moves in a straight line, our brains “assume” all light that enters our eyes travelled in a straight line
8
Properties of an Image: Plane Mirror
An object in a mirror is laterally inverted Lateral inversion: The orientation of an image in a plane mirror that is backwards and in reverse order. The distance between the object and the mirror is the same as the distance between the image and the mirror
9
Characteristics of an Image (LOST)
Location: what side of the mirror is the object on and how far away from the mirror is it? Orientation: how the image is orientated compared to the object. Upright or inverted. Size: the size of the image relative to the object. Larger, smaller, or the same size. Type: real or virtual.
10
Characteristics of an Image (LOST) for a Plane Mirror
Location: Orientation: Upright or inverted. Size: Larger, smaller, or the same size. Type: real or virtual. Same distance from the mirror as the object
