One word that describes how you feel at this moment? (Your name first then your answer)

RECAP

Light travels in a straight line. But when it encounters an opaque barrier, it bounces off.

Light interacts differently on different materials

Classify the following objects as transparent, translucent, or opaque. 

On a sheet of paper, write the letter associated to each material in the appropriate part of the diagram.

Reflection Properties of Light in a Plane Mirror

Learning Objectives:

• investigate the reflection properties of light using a plane mirror;

• apply the concept of reversal effect in mirrors on emergency

  transportations; and

• realize the benefits and risks of using two-way mirrors.

Open Ended

Why do we always like to look at the mirror?

How does light play a role while looking at yourself in front of the mirror?

Reflection

the return or bouncing of light from a surface

Types of reflection

• Specular

• Diffuse

Specular reflection is defined as light reflected from a smooth surface at a definite angle.

Diffuse reflection is produced by rough surfaces that tend to reflect light in all directions.

Law of Reflection

• It states that the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection.

• 
  

Guide Questions:

• Identify the correct Ray Diagram of reflection of light in a plane mirror.

• What happened to the ray of light when the younger boy focused the spotlight on the mirror?

• Describe the connection between the incident ray and the reflected ray.

• If you focus a flashlight at an angle of 15⁰, what do you think would be the angle of reflection? Explain why.

Two types of mirror

The plane mirror and the spherical/curved mirror.

The images formed may be different in terms of type, position, size, orientation, and location.

• Type of images -  real and virtual

• Position of images - upright (or erect) and inverted

• Size of the image - enlarged or magnified, same in size, smaller

• Orientation of the image - laterally reverse and not laterally reverse

• Location or distance of the image from the mirror.

Two-way mirror

Also known as two-way glass, which is reflective on one side and clear on the other, giving the appearance of a mirror to those who see the reflection but allowing people on the clear side to see through, as if at a window.
