Mirrors 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 • In your notebook create a t-chart similar to this example for taking notes throughout this tutorial. Next
Facts About Light • It is a form of Electromagnetic Energy • It is the only form of Electromagnetic Energy that we can see Next
Facts About Light • The speed of light in a vacuum • 299,792,458meters 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
Test Your Knowledge • Now that you know the different types of spherical mirrors you can test your knowledge • For each of the following pictures match them with the correct mirror type Next
