mirror is _________ as an object.

4. Reflection is a _________of light

rays off an object
TYPES OF REFLECTION
Types of Reflection
 Determine the type of reflection formed. (2pts each)

1. It occurs when light reflects from a

polished surface.
2. The angle of reflection is not equal to the
angle of incidence.
3. The reflected rays are parallel to each
other.
Determine the type of reflection formed. (2pts each)

4. A reflection occurs from uneven

surface.
5. The angle of reflection is equal to
the angle of incidence.
Curved/Spherical mirror
a reflecting surface in which its surface is a
section of sphere.

Kinds of
Spherical
Mirror
Concave Mirror
1. It is curved mirror in which reflective
surface bulges away from light source.
2. It is called Converging mirror because
the parallel incident rays converge or
meet/ intersect at a focal point (F) after
the reflection.
3. It can form image that is either virtual It forms image that is always virtual,
or real, inverted or upright; smaller,
same size or bigger than the size of
object.
Convex Mirror
It is a curved mirror in which the
reflective surface bulges towards the
light source.
It is called Diverging mirror because the
parallel incident rays diverge after
reflection. When extending the
reflected rays behind the mirror, the
rays converge at the focus (F) behind
the mirror.
upright and smaller than the object.
Concave or Convex

1. Parallel incident rays converge or

meet/ intersect at a focal point (F)
after the reflection.
2. Curved mirror in which the reflective
surface bulges towards the light
source.
Concave or Convex

3. The parallel incident rays diverge after

reflection

4. Curved mirror in which reflective

surface bulges away from light source

Principal Rays
1. P-F Ray
A ray of light parallel to the principal axis is
reflected passing through the principal focus, F.
2. F-P Ray
A ray of light passing through the focus, F is
reflected parallel to the principal axis.
4. C-C Ray
A ray of light passing the center of Curvature. C
reflects back its own path.
4. V- Ray
A ray of light directed to the Vertex reflects at
equal angle from principal axis.
 Note :

Only two (2) rays is needed to locate an

image.

The location of image is the point

where the rays intersects.
