you, Aljo! Sir!

C. Engage
Our topic is about Reflection of an
Object (Light) on a Mirror.
In a plane mirror, we often wonder
whether we actually see ourselves the
way we look at it or not.

If I ask you, have you tried looking in

front of the mirror and see your
reflection (take note of the word
reflection) and ask yourselves if it is
telling the truth, especially projecting
your height and width of your body?

Let us find out more about the

characteristics of image formed on a
plane mirror by doing this activity.

Are you still with your own group?

Yes, sir!

Kindly open your book on page 173-

174. Do the Activity 1: Mirror, mirror, on
the wall…. In one whole sheet of paper,
fill in the tables with the needed
information and answer the given guide
questions.

accordingly.

Do not hesitate to ask me if you

have some clarifications and queries.

Are you all done?

Okay, well done class.

May I know your findings or insights

about this activity?
Yes, sir!

Yes, Jimmy!

(Each group is doing the Activity 1)

Yes, sir!
Brilliant, you are correct!

Take note again that the definition

of Reflection is…?

Sir!
Yes, you are right.

The distance of the object from the

mirror and the distance of the image
from the mirror. Even the size of the

Please read, Rhea!

Incident Ray - The ray of light

approaching the mirror represented by
an arrow approaching an optical
element like mirrors.
Reflected Ray - The ray of light which
leaves the mirror and is represented by
an arrow pointing away from the mirror.
Normal Line - An imaginary line
Kindly take a look at this illustration.
that can be drawn perpendicular to the
surface of the mirror at the point of
incidence where the ray strikes the
mirror.
Angle of Incidence – angle between
incident ray and normal line.
Angle of Reflection – angle between
normal line and reflected ray.

following terms being mentioned)

Understood?

Are you ready for the next activity?

F. Elaborate
Yes, sir!

Please, arrange you chairs and listen

attentively now. (The findings per group consists of
the characteristics of an image in
the mirror and the angle of
reflection)
In your game before, you have notice
that you were given phrases in a
reverse form then you use the screen of
your phone to decipher or to be able to Group 3 representative presents their
read the reverse form of the image, output.
right?

Group 2 also presents

That reverse form of the phrases or
any objects is the one that the mirror
sees. It means that, when you present Group 1 presents……
an object in front of a mirror, its image
will reflect left to right reversal or
lateral inversion. (Everyone claps)

That is why we called the image of the

object in front of the mirror, a virtual
image. In physics, real image is referred
to an image that is inverted, unlike
virtual image that is erect or not
inverted. Understood?

Another reason why it is called virtual

image, is because in plane mirrors, the
image appears as if it is behind the
mirror but actually not.

In activity 1, you used plane mirrors

and located the object distance, p and
the image distance, q and found out
that p is equal to q. Since, it is virtual
image the value of image distance or q
is negative. Yes, sir!

The height of the image, h’ in plane

mirrors is always the same as the

height
of the object, thus its magnification, M
is 1.

In the activity, you found out that the

angle of incidence (Өi) is equal to the Yes, sir!
angle of reflection (Өr). In symbols,

This is one of the laws of reflection. The

other law states that:

“The normal line, incident ray, and the

reflected ray lie on the same
plane.”

Reflection of light is employed

significantly in making optical
instruments like
periscopes. Periscopes allow sea
navigators in a submarine to see the
surface of the
water.

Do you have any questions?

1) The image formed is virtual.

2) The image is laterally inverted.
3) It is of the same size as the object.
4) The image is erect.
5) Distance of image from the mirror
will be the same as the distance of the
object from the mirror.

Very good, class.

G. Evaluate

Alright then, please bring out ¼

sheet of paper.

Kindly, answer individually these

items.

1. Give the 3 reasons that was

being discussed, why an object’s
image in a plane mirror is
considered virtual image.
None, sir!
2. If the angle of incidence is 45o,
what degree will be its angle of
reflection.
3. If the distance of the object from
the mirror is 2 cm, what is the
distance of its image from the
mirror, then?

what will happen if you place an
object in two plane mirrors at 900
angles? How many images will form?

(In Chorus) The angle of incidence is

equal to the angle of reflection.

Goodbye class!

Answers:

1. Lateral inversion or left-right

reversal, the image is erect, and
the image looks behind the
mirror even though it’s not.
