LESSON PLAN
Specific learning Outcomes
1. Knowledge 1.Students will be able to define light, reflection and all
the terms related to light
2.Students will be able to know that speed of sound is
3*108m/s

2. Understanding 1. Students will be able to know reflection of light on

different surfaces
2. Students will be able to explain how light travels

3. Application 1. Usage of light in optical fibers, in medical uses and

telecommunications Endoscopes are used to get the
images of hollow organs by sending a beam of light
through optical fibers.
2. Photosynthesis
3. Light is used to transmit data through optic fibers.
4. Skill  Light is a form of energy that enables us to see
things. Light starts from a source and bounces off
objects which are perceived by our eyes and our
brain processes this signal, which eventually
enables us to see.

Global learning Outcomes:

 Determine the angle of reflection of a reflected ray
 Determine the position of a point in a reflected image of an object

SPECIFIC LEARNING OUTCOMES

CONTENT:
 Reflection:
The bouncing back of light after striking reflecting surface into the same
media
 Laws of reflection
1. The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal lie on
the same plane
2. Angle of reflection is always equal to the angle of
incidence

 REGULAR REFLECTION AND IRREGULAR REFLECTION:

 Image formed in a plane mirror:

  Angle between two mirrors placed at different angles in a plane mirror:
N=360/ø
ACTIVITY:

 A spherical mirror is a mirror which has the shape of a piece cut out of a

spherical surface. There are two types of spherical mirrors: concave,
and convex.
 Concave and Convex Mirrors:
 The reflecting surface of a spherical mirror may be curved inwards or outwards.
 A spherical mirror, whose reflecting surface is curved inwards, that is, faces
towards the centre of the sphere, is called a concave mirror.
 A spherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outwards is called a
convex mirror.
ACTIVITY to show that virtual image cannot be caught on a screen and real
image can be caught on a screen:
Uses of Concave Mirror:
 Concave mirrors are commonly used in torches, search lights, and vehicles
headlights to get powerful parallel beams of light.
 They are often used as shaving mirrors to see a larger image of the face.
 The dentists use concave mirrors to see large images of the teeth of patients.
 Large concave mirrors are used to concentrate sunlight to produce heat in solar
furnaces.
Uses of Convex Mirror:
 Convex mirrors are commonly used as rear-view (wing) mirrors in vehicles.
 These mirrors are fitted on the sides of the vehicle, enabling the driver to see
traffic behind him/her to facilitate safe driving.

Pedagogical Strategies:

 An activity to prove laws of reflection

 Picture study
 Power point presentation
 Hands on Activity of making a simple periscope
 Demonstration of number of images formed when two mirrors are placed
perpendicular to each other

Interdisciplinary Approach:
 HISTORY-Periscope in wars
 ARTS-Artists use kaleidoscopes in designs
 BIOLOGY-Photosynthesis
 TECHNOLOGY-X RAYS, Ultraviolet rays.
 ENGLISH -Definitions and meaning and important words.
 MATHEMATICS-Measurement of angles

Teaching aids:
 Power point presentation
 You tube videos on refection of light, laws of reflection of light
 Plane mirrors, spherical mirrors

Schematic of lesson plan:

 Aim of the topic
 Presentation of topic
 Q and A session after completion of every subtopic
 Recapitulation
  Assessment and feedback
 Home assessment

Recapitulation
1. What is Reflection?
2. What are the types of reflections, depending upon the
type of reflecting surface
3. What are laws of reflection
4. What is the cause if refraction of light when it passes
from 1 medium to another?
5. State the Snell’s law if refraction of light.
6. How does the refractive index of a medium depend on
the wavelength of light used?
