Optics
Topic: Plane Mirrors and Image Formation in Plane Mirrors Subject: Phys 131 – Optics
Time Allotment: 60 minutes Demo Teacher: Junbryle B. Agbayani
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. Describe a mirror;
2. Describe the interaction of light with a mirror;
3. Explain how image forms in mirrors;
4. Differentiate between virtual image and real image: and
5. Cite the different uses of mirrors.
ASSESSMENT KEYPOINTS

• Real Image is an image that can be

seen on a screen as a result of light
rays actually hitting (striking)and
reflecting at the image location
• Virtual Image is an image formed
by light coming from an apparent
light source; light is not coming
from the actual image location

Optics
 Real Image
A real image can be obtained on the
screen.
A real image is always inverted.
Example of real image is the image
formed on the cinema screen.
• Ray Diagrams are drawings that use
simple geometry to locate an image
formed by mirror.
Virtual Image
A virtual image cannot be obtained on
the screen.
A virtual image is always erect.
Example of virtual image is the image
formed when we stand in front of the
mirror.

TEACHING STRATEGIES/TEACHING METHOD

• Diverse method of teaching strategies that includes oral recitation, brainstorming, group activities, PowerPoint Presentation
and cooperative learning.
TECHNOLOGICAL HIGHLIGHTS
• Looking Glass (Mirror)
• Periscopes are apparatus consisting of a tube attached to a set of mirrors or prisms,
by which an observer (typically in a submerged submarine or behind a high
obstacle) can see things that are otherwise out of sight.

Optics
• Kaleidoscopes are optical instrument in which bits of glass, held loosely at the
end of a rotating tube, are shown in continually changing symmetrical forms by
reflection in two or more mirrors set at angles to each other.

• DSLR Cameras or Digital Single Reflex Camera uses mirror that reflects the light
coming from the lens and sends it through a prism (in higher-end DSLR) or a
series of mirrors (usually in lower-end models) and finally to the optical
viewfinder.

• Over-head Projectors uses the play of the mirrors to project images and
documents.

Optics
 • Wing Mirror also known as the fender mirror, door mirror, outside rear-view
mirror or side view mirror, is a mirror found on the exterior of motor vehicles
for the purpose of helping the driver see areas behind and to the sides of the
vehicle, outside the driver’s peripheral vision.

VALUES INTEGRATION
• Curiosity, Analysation, Problem Solving, Critical Thinking Skills
