1 Reflection and Mirrors 1
2 The Law of Reflection The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. 2
3 The Law of Reflection When light strikes a surface it is reflected. The light ray striking the surface is called the incident ray. A normal (perpendicular) line is then drawn at the point where the light strikes the surface. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is called the angle of incidence. The light is then reflected so that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The angle of reflection is the angle between the normal and the reflected light ray. 3
4 Normal Incident Ray Angle of Incidence Angle of Reflection Reflected Ray Mirror 4
5 The incident ray, normal, and reflected ray are all in the same plane. 5
6 Regular reflection occurs when light is reflected from a smooth surface. When parallel light rays strike a smooth surface they are reflected and will still be parallel to each other. 6
7 Diffuse reflection occurs when light is reflected from a rough surface. The word rough is a relative term. The surface is rough at a microscopic level. For example, an egg is a rough surface. When parallel light rays strike a rough surface, the light rays are reflected in all directions according to the law of reflection. 7
8 Types of Mirrors Convex mirrors are made from a section of a sphere whose outer surface was reflective. Convex Convex mirrors are also known as diverging mirrors since they spread out light rays. They are typically found as store security mirrors. Concave mirrors are made from a section of a sphere whose inner surface was reflective. Concave mirrors are also known as converging mirrors since they bring light rays to a focus. Concave They are typically found as magnifying 8mirrors
9 Plane Mirrors have a flat surface. The mirror hanging on the wall in your bathroom is a plane mirror. 9
10 Real images are images that form where light rays actually cross. In the case of mirrors, that means they form on the same side of the mirror as the object since light can not pass through a mirror. Real images are always inverted (flipped upside down). Virtual images are images that form where light rays appear to have crossed. In the case of mirrors, that means they form behind the mirror. Virtual images are always upright. 10
11 Plane Mirror In a plane mirror the object is the same size, upright, and the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. 11
12 Images in a plane mirror are also reversed left to right. 12
13 Curved Mirrors The center of curvature also known as radius of curvature (C) of a curved mirror is located at the center of the sphere from which it was made. The focal point (f) is located halfway between the mirror s surface and the center of curvature. C = 2f The principle axis is a line that passes through both the center of curvature (C) and the focal point (f) and intersects the mirror at a right angle. 13
14 Concave Mirrors Light source Principle Axis C f Convex Mirrors Principle Axis Light source f C 14
15 Rules for Locating Reflected Images 1. Light rays that travel through the center of curvature (C) strike the mirror and are reflected back along the same path. 2. Light rays that travel parallel to the principle axis, strike the mirror, and are reflected back through the focal point (f). 3. Light rays that travel through the focal point (f), strike the mirror, and are reflected back parallel to the principle axis. 15
16 All three of these light rays will intersect at the same point if they are drawn carefully. However, the image can be located by finding the intersection of any two of these light rays. 16
