Reflection

- is the bouncing off

of light rays.
- Incident ray is the
ray of light
approaching the
mirror.
- Reflected ray is
the ray of light
which leaves the
mirror.
- Normal line is the
imaginary line that
can be drawn
perpendicular to
the surface.
 Left-Right Reversal

- The left
side of the
object
appears as
the right side
of the image
and the right
side appears
as left.
 Multiple Images

- Multiple
images are
formed by
the reflection
that happens
then
arranging at
least two
mirrors.
N=(360/angle
between the
mirror)-1
 Types of Reflection

1. Specular/Regular
Reflection
2. Diffused/Irregular Reflection
Concave Mirror
- A curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges
away from the light source.
- Called Converging Mirror because the parallel incident
rays converge or meet/intersect at a focal point after
reflection.
Convex Mirror
- A curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges
towards the light source.
- Called Diverging Mirror because the parallel incident
rays diverge after reflection. When extending the
reflected rays behind the mirror, the rays converge at
the focus behind the mirror.
 Images formed by Curved
Mirrors
Concave Mirror
1. P F Ray- a ray of light parallel to
the principal axis is reflected through
the principal focus, F.
2. F P Ray- a ray of light passing
through the focus, F is reflected
parallel to the principal axis.
3. C C Ray- a ray of light passing
through the center of curvature, C
reflects back along its own path.
4. V Ray- a ray of light directed to the
vertex reflects at equal angle from the
principal axis.
Convex Mirror
1. P F Ray- a ray of light parallel to
the principal axis is reflected as if
passing through the principal focus, F.
2. F P Ray- a ray of light directed
towards the focus, F is reflected
parallel to the principal axis.
3. C C Ray- a ray of light directed
towards the center of curvature, C
reflects back along its own path.
4. V Ray- a ray of light directed to the
vertex reflects at equal angle from the
principal axis.
Convex Lens
- It is thicker in the center that edges
- It forms real images and virtual images depending on
the position of the object.
- Called Converging Lens because the light that passes
through it tends to converge at a particular point called
the focal point.
Concave Lens
- Is thicker at the edges and thinner in the center.
- Forms upright and reduced images
- Called Diverging Lens because the light that passes
through it tends to diverge at a particular point called
the focal point.
