    The document discusses image formation using plane and curved mirrors. It defines that images formed in plane mirrors are laterally inverted, the same size, and the same distance from the mirror as the object. Images can be either virtual or real. Curved mirrors can form either real or virtual images depending on the location of the image, and real images are always inverted while virtual images are always upright. The document also identifies important points used to locate images formed by curved mirrors such as the center of curvature, vertex, and focal point.

    Science 10 – Mirrors and Reflection January 11, 2024

    Image Formation in a Plane Mirror

    1. Laterally inverted
    2. Same size
    3. Same distance
    4. Virtual
    5. Upright

    Image Descriptions

    L – Location

    ➢ Depending on the location of the image relative to nearest principal points.


    ➢ At C, Between C & F, At F, etc.

    O – Orientation

    ➢ Upright or inverted

    S – Size

    ➢ Compare the image to the object’s size


    ➢ Reduced, Enlarged, or Same

    T – Type

    ➢ Virtual or Real

    VIRTUAL VS. REAL IMAGES

    When you see reflected light, your brain thinks light has traveled in a straight line from behind.

    - A virtual image is an image that appears to come from a


    place that the light does not actually come from.

    - A real image is formed where light from an object converged.


    A real image can be projected onto a screen while a virtual image cannot.

    Curved mirrors can form real and virtual images depending on the location.

    ➢ REAL images are ALWAYS INVERTED


    ➢ VIRTUAL images are ALWAYS UPRIGHT
    Images Formed in Curved Mirrors

    In locating the image formed in curved mirror graphically, three important points are
    considered.

    1. Center of Curvature, C
    ➢ The center of the sphere of which the mirror is part. Its distance from the mirror is
    known as the radius.
    2. Vertex, V
    ➢ The center of the mirror on its surface.
    3. Focal Point/Focus, F
    ➢ The point between the center of the curvature and vertex. Its distance from the mirror
    is known as the focal length F.

    Ray Diagramming Principal Rays

    1. Center Ray (C-C RAY)


    ➢ A ray of light passing through the center of curvature C reflects back along its own path.
    2. Parallel Ray (P-F RAY)
    ➢ A ray of light parallel to the principal axis reflected passing through the principal focus F.
    3. Focus Ray (F-P RAY)
    ➢ A ray of light passing through the focus, F is reflected parallel to the principal axis.
    4. Vertex Ray (V-RAY)
    ➢ A ray of light directed to the vertex reflects at equal angle from the principal axis.
