1 LESSON 5.1 Understanding reflection of light Introduction : Light is a form energy that enables us to see. Light is emitted or given by hot objects, like a candle flame, or the glowing filament of light bulb,or the sun. An object which produces its own light is said to be luminous. Most of the objects we can see do not produce their own light they are non-luminous. What we can see is the light is reflected off them. Light seems to travel in straight lines. A picture of light as rays traveling in straight lines from a luminous source or bounching off objects, or being absorbed or transmitted by them, is very useful one. We can think of light ray as a very thin beam of light. A real beam contains many rays. ut by drawing just a few of them we can get a clear idea of what happening to the whole beam. When rays of light strike any surface the rays are reflacted, unless the surface is black, when they are absorbed. The reflection depend on how smooth the surfaces are.good mirrors reflect well over 90% of the light that reaches them, with only a small amount being absorbed. The surface of most objects are very irregular. Light hitting this sort of surface is scattered in all directions. This is called diffuse reflection. On the other hand,the surface of a polished sheet of glass or metal can be made extremely smooth. The reflection from this is the regular. ommon terminology of reflection of light on a plane mirror Normal : A line at right angles to the mirror s surface. Incident ray : A ray of light that is directed onto the mirror s surface. Reflected ray : A ray that is reflected by the mirror s surface. Angle of : The angle between the incident incidence ray and the normal Angle of : The angle between the reflected reflection ray and the normal AO : Incident ray ON : Normal O : Reflected ray i : Angle of incidence r : Angle of reflection Laws of reflection The first law : The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The second law : and The incident ray, the normal the reflected ray all lie in the same plane. 1
2 harateristics of an Image Formed by a Plane Mirror by drawing Ray Diagram Example 2 The diagram shows two plane mirrors set an angle 100 o to each other. A ray strikes one of the mirrors as shown at angle of incidence of 45 o. Redraw and complete the diagram showing the path of the ray and calculate the angle of reflection at which it leaves the second mirrors. (1) Draw two normals at the surface of the mirror. (2) Draw two incident rays and each of them is directed to the normals. (3) Measure the angles of incidence respectively by using protractor. (4) y using the Laws of reflection (The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection draw two reflected rays in front the mirror. (5) Extrapolate the reflected rays behind the with dotted line. The point of intersection is the location of the image. Solution The charateristics of an image formed by a plane mirror are : (1) The size of the image= the size of the object (2) The distance of image = the distance of object (3) Virtual image (appears to be behind the mirror) (4) Laterally inverted (left and right are interchanged) (5) Upright Example 1 A boy is at a distance 5 m from a plane mirror. The mirror is moved away from the boy by 2 m. What is the distance between the boy and his image. Solution 2
3 ommon terminology of reflection of light on a curved mirror Radius of curvature, r : Distance between the pole,p and the centre of curvature,. Focal length, f : The distance between the principal focus,f and the pole of the curved mirror,p. oncave mirror Relationship between f and r r = 2f Relationship curvature of mirror and f The more curved the mirror, the shorter its focal length,f. onvex mirror Pole of mirror, P : The centre point on the curved mirror entre of curvature, : The geometric centre of a hollow sphere of which the concave or convex mirror is a part. Principal axis,pf : A line which passes through the centre of curvature, and the pole of a curved mirror,p Principal focus, F : A point through which all rays traveling parallel to the principal axis converage to or appear to diverge from after reflection by the mirror. harateristics of an Image Formed by a curved Mirror by drawing Ray Diagram We must draw any two of three rays to determine the position of the image.there are three Ray 1 For concave mirror : 3

F For concave mirror : A ray through is reflected back along its own path. For convex mirror : Ray 2 A ray towards is reflected back along its own path. For concave mirror : A ray through F is reflected parallel to the principal axis. Image formed by a oncave Mirror A u < f ( Object between F and P ) For convex mirror : A ray towards F is reflected parallel to the principal axis. 4

7 Uses of the reflection of light Plane mirror (1) A mirror periscope can be built by mounting two plane mirrors in a cardboard tube. (2) A rear view mirror and a side mirror of a car in order to enable the driver see objects at the back and side of the car. (3) Plane mirror acts as an anti-parallax error mirror in electrical instruments such as the voltmeter and the ammeter. oncave mirror (1) A shaving mirror or a make-up mirror used a wide-aperture concave mirror with a large radius of curvature. (2) A torchlight or a headlight of motor vehicles used concave parabolic mirror to produce a beam of parallel light rays. onvex mirror (1) onvex mirror are mounted at a sharp corner of a road so that the drivers are able to see oncoming cars on the blind side of the corner. (2) onvex mirror hung on the corner of ceilings in supermarkets serve to provide a wide field of view activities happening in the shopping area. What are the angles of incidence and reflection?

To show how light is reflected from a solid surface, we can use ray diagrams. A ray diagram has 5 main components: this is the incoming ray that will hit the solid surface/barrier (e.g. a mirror) barrier.
