MIRRORSEnter the World of Mirrors

Objectives

Learning Target - I can describe different types of mirrors and lenses and how they form images.  

This tutorial will focus on mirrors:Being able to describe images for

concave and convex mirrors.

Facts About Light

It is a form of Electromagnetic Energy It is the only form of Electromagnetic

Energy that we can see

Next

Facts About Light

The speed of light in a vacuum 299,792,458 meters per second 186,282 miles per second

Light travels as a electromagnetic wave Light can be

Reflected Adsorbed Refracted (bent)

How do Mirrors form Image?

Mirrors do not actually form images Mirrors reflect light Coated with a thin layer of aluminum

called silvering Flat mirrors create identical images in

size and shape Spherical mirrors distort images for other

uses

Next

Law of Reflection Law of Reflection – The Angle of

Incidence (incoming light) equals the Angle of Reflection (reflected light)

When the two are equal an image can be formed

Next

Regular or Diffuse Reflection

Must have Law of Reflection to obtain image – this is regular reflection

Diffuse Reflection will not follow Law of Reflection and will not form an image

Spherical Mirrors – Concave vs. Convex Mirror

Called Diverging Mirror – Scatters Light

Called Converging Mirror – Gathers Light

Next

Convex Mirrors - Diverging

Curve Outward Scatters Light – diverts the

light Images appear smaller Allow to see images from

around corners

Next

Convex Mirrors - Diverging

Uses of Convex Mirrors Car rearview and side mirrors –

tow mirrors Security mirrors – stores,

hospitals, parking garages Bike mirrors

Next

Concave Mirrors - Converging Curves Inward Brings light together Images appear upside down and

smaller Closer the image to the mirror it

gets larger and right side up

Next

Concave Mirrors - Converging

Uses of Concave Mirrors Make up mirrors - Barber

Shops Dentist Solar Power Microscopes Headlights
