2. DIFFUSED REFLECTION
- Fall on irregular surfaces
- Reflected rays are NOT parallel to each other
TYPES OF IMAGES:
1. REAL- one which can be formed on a screen.
- It is produced by ray that converge at the position of the
image
2. VIRTUAL- one which cannot be formed on a screen.
- It is produced by reflection of light
LOST (characteristics of an image)
- LOCATION: what side on the mirror; how far away from
the mirror
- ORIENTATION: how the image is oriented compared to
the object; upright or inverted
- SIZE: the size of the image relative to the object; enlarged,
reduced, or same size RAY DIAGRAMS (CONVEX MIRRORS)
- TYPE: real or virtual

- Image is located as far behind the mirror as the object is in

APPLICATIONS OF PLANE MIRRORS - An overhead projector has a mirror, which focuses
- It is an optical instrument consisting of two or more light from an intense source onto a pair of converging
reflecting surfaces. The basic principles used in the lenses.
kaleidoscope are the law of reflection and white light is
a combination of ROYGBIV. When the white light hits
the surface, it gets reflected at an angle such that the
angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
- It is an optical instrument that allows objects that are
not in direct line of sight to be viewed. A simple
periscope only requires mirrors, whereas a more
complicated periscope utilizes prisms rather than
mirrors.
APPLICATIONS OF CONCAVE MIRRORS
- Concave mirror, also known as a converging mirror has
reflecting surface which collects light inward and focus
them to one focal point, this type of mirror is what the
dentist used in magnifying the area behind your
teeth to check on cavities and tooth decay.
- For illuminating purposes, you can see concave mirrors
used in headlamps, flashlights and spotlights. In
these devices, the light rays that gathered from a small
source of the mirror are collected and directed outward
in a beam. Small light source bounded by a concave
mirror flashes a brighter beam.
- Curved mirrors (concave) are used in optical
instruments such as an ophthalmoscope. This
instrument consists of a concave mirror with a hole in
the center.
APPLICATIONS ON CONVEX MIRRORS
- Convex mirrors are used for security purposes in stores
because they broaden the reflected field of vision. The
images are smaller than the objects but the mirror helps
to see a wider area.
APPLICATIONS OF LENSES
- A compound microscope consists of a combination of
lenses for magnifying an object several hundred times.
- Telescopes- A telescope allows us to see distant
objects. It contains two converging lenses, namely, the
objective and the eyepiece
- A refracting telescope consists of two convex lenses
that is used to enlarge an image.
- A reflecting telescope uses a convex lens and two
mirrors to make an object appear bigger. The light is
collected by the large concave mirror.
- Opticians use concave lenses to correct near-
"sightedness also called myopia. A near-sighted
eyeball is too long, and the image of a far-away object
falls short of the retina.
- On the other hand, farsightedness or hyperopia is the
inability of the eye to focus on nearby objects. The
farsighted eye is assisted by the use of a
converging lens or a convex lens.
- The camera is a box-like device used for taking
pictures. It uses a lens that produces a real image on
photographic film.
- Our eyes are our natural cameras. Some of the basic
and fundamental parts of a camera functions just like
how the different parts of our eyes work. Among these
are the lens, the aperture, iris diaphragm, shutter, and
photographic film
- Binoculars consist of a pair of telescopes mounted
together, each having an objective lens and an
eyepiece. The image formed by the objective lens of
binoculars is upside- down, and the left and right sides
are reversed. Binoculars use a system of prisms to
switch the image left to right and right to left. Then the
eyepieces create enlarged, virtual, upright images.
- An endoscope is a long flexible tube that is inserted in
the body so that a doctor can observe internal
passages such as a person's esophagus or Intestine. It
has a converging lens and bunches of optical fibers that
convey the image to the end of the tube.
