1. Laterally Inverted
An image that is laterally inverted means is inverted from left to right.
The right side of the object appears as its left side, and vice versa.

2. Which is the object? Which is the image?

3. Ray model of Light Light moves in a straight line
Luminous objects such as candles radiate light in all directions
We depict this using a light ray
Light ray: a line on a diagram representing the direction and path that light is travelling

4. Images and Reflections
Light ray: a line on a diagram representing the direction and path that light is travelling\
Image: reproduction of an object through the use of light
Reflection: the bouncing back of light from a surface

6. The Laws of Reflection
The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection
The incident ray, reflected ray, and normal all lie in the same plane

7. How we see light Light reflects off of objects and enters our eye
Because light moves in a straight line, our brains “assume” all light that enters our eyes travelled in a straight line

8. Properties of an Image: Plane Mirror
An object in a mirror is laterally inverted
Lateral inversion: The orientation of an image in a plane mirror that is backwards and in reverse order.
The distance between the object and the mirror is the same as the distance between the image and the mirror

9. Characteristics of an Image (LOST)
Location: what side of the mirror is the object on and how far away from the mirror is it? Orientation: how the image is orientated compared to the object. Upright or inverted. Size: the size of the image relative to the object. Larger, smaller, or the same size. Type: real or virtual.

10. Characteristics of an Image (LOST) for a Plane Mirror
Location: Orientation: Upright or inverted. Size: Larger, smaller, or the same size. Type: real or virtual.
Same distance from the mirror as the object
