2. OBJECTIVES

To develop e-content on the topic Laws of reflection
To form the concept of reflection
To form the idea about plane mirror and spherical mirror.
To develop an understanding of Laws of reflection and is applications in
real life situations









CONCEPTS
1) Plane mirror :- A mirror in which reflecting surface is plane
2) Spherical mirror :- A mirror in which reflecting surface is spherical
3) Convex mirror :- If the reflecting surface is curved outwards
4) Concave mirror :- If the reflecting surface is curved inwards


LAW
LAWS OF REFLECTION :- Angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection.
Incident ray, reflected ray, normal all lie in the same plane.





SUMMARY

Laws of reflection states about reflection. Reflecting medium are of two types
plane mirror and spherical mirror. A mirror in which reflecting surface is plane is called
plane mirror . . A mirror in which reflecting surface is spherical is called spherical mirror.
spherical mirror are of two types Convex mirror and Concave mirror. A mirror in which
reflecting surface is curved inwards is called concave mirror. A mirror in which
reflecting surface is curved outwards is called is Convex mirror. In the plane mirror
image is obtained at the same distance from the mirror and have the same size. Image
formation in the convex mirror is small, virtual and inverted. In concave mirror
image may be small, large, real and virtual. Laws of reflection states that :- Angle of
incidence is equal to angle of reflection. Incident ray, reflected ray, normal all lie in
the same plane. All these mirrors have many uses in daily life situations. Plane mirror
is used to reflect light and view our face. Convex mirror is used as rearview mirror
in a vehicle. In medical field, search light, telescope Concave mirror is used. Thus the e-
content can be conveyed very easily and clearly to the students. It will definitely
motivate them to learn. By using the wide scope of e-content we can make the teaching
learning process more effective.
