4 discussing here... mirrors

5 definition of mirror types of mirrors aspects of plane mirror aspects of curved mirrors

6 what is mirror? glass sheet with silvery / metallic coating at the back

7 mirror plane curved

8 curved mirror convex concave

9 explanation: real vs. virtual image (by reflection)

10 real vs. virtual image (by reflection) real image virtual image forms in locations, where the light rays actually reach forms in locations, where the light rays do NOT actually reach emerging rays converge emerging rays diverge no need for extrapolation by extrapolation, the light ray appears to be coming from the image forms on the SAME side as the object forms on the OTHER side can be projected onto a screen can NOT be projected onto a screen

11 image formation by PLANE mirror

12 correct Geometric drawing incident ray reflected ray when the incident ray falls parallel to the normal the ray reflects back along the normal when the incident rays fall at acute angles by backward extrapolation, all reflected rays converge to construct the image
