Enter 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. Next
Graphic Organizer Next In your notebook create a t-chart similar to this example for taking notes throughout this tutorial. Next
Facts About Light Next It is a form of Electromagnetic Energy It is the only form of Electromagnetic Energy that we can see Next
Facts About Light Next 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) Next
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 Next 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
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 Next

Spherical Mirrors – Concave vs. Convex Mirror Next Called Diverging Mirror – Scatters Light Called Converging Mirror – Gathers Light
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 Next
