  2. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors

  3. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors Reflection of Light: Process that causes light to bounce off objects in its path

  4. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors Diffuse reflection: Occurs when light strikes an irregular surface. Light rays get reflected in ALL directions. Does not produce an image on reflecting surface Specular (regular) reflection: Occurs when light strikes a smooth (polished) surface. Light rays get reflected in ONE direction. Produces an image on reflecting surface

  5. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors

  6. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors Laws of Reflection: • The angle of the incident ray is equal to that of the reflected ray. • The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal (N) lie in the same plane

  7. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors

  8. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors Plane mirrors produce images that, with respect to the object, are: _Symmetrical with respect to the mirror _Same size and position of the object _Virtual images (because they cannot be formed on a screen) *Pinhole cameras produce real images

  9. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors

  10. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors Practice

  11. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors Practice

  12. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors Reflection (plane mirror) and Vision _light rays from the object get reflected by the mirror and reach our eyes _image appears behind the mirror

  13. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors Virtual images _cannot be produced on a screen _are located at the intersection of the extensions of reflected rays

  14. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors

  15. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors Reversibility of Reflection

  16. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors Reversibility of Reflection

  17. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors Field of vision To be able to see an image in a mirror, we must be able to connect the image to the eye using a straight line *Reversibility of reflection indicates that our eye will also be seen by the object generating said image

  18. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors Field of vision All the space in front of a mirror which we are able to see from a given vantage point Can also be determined using the image of the observer

  19. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors How long? In order to be able to produce the complete image of a person (head-to-toe), a mirror must be HALF of the height of a person

  25. PHS 5041 OpticsPlane Mirrors How many images can be produced (N)? (Formula that relates N and the angle between two mirrors?) N = (360 / θ) - 1
