Guide Questions:
1. What are the three types of mirrors that was describe in the video
2. What are the difference of the three mirrors in terms of characteristics?
3. What are the difference of the three mirrors in terms of image quality?
4. How does the shape of a mirror affect the image quality of an object?
5. Cite some uses of mirrors in our society.

Going Beyond.
 As shown below, the learners will assess their own knowledge, skills and
attitude/values relative to the target concept presented in the MELC.

What are mirrors?

A mirror is a reflective surface that bounces off light, producing either a real
image or a virtual image. When an object is placed in front of a mirror, the

Mirror Mirror

Directions: Determine the height, width, and the distance from the mirror of the
image formed by plane mirrors and compare the actual height and the actual size of
the object to the image in the mirror.

Materials: plane mirror, 1 graphing paper, 10 one–peso coins, modeling clay, pen

Procedure:
1. Let the mirror stand vertically along a line on a graphing paper as shown in Figure
1. Use the modeling clay to support the plane mirror.

2. Using a pen, make three (3) different marks along the intersections on the
graphing paper in front of a mirror.

3. Measure the distance of each mark from the mirror by counting the number of
parallel lines between the mark and the base of the plane mirror. Record your data
in a table similar to Table 1 below.

4. Look at the images of the marks formed by the mirror. Measure the distance of
each image from the mirror by counting the number of parallel lines between the
image and the base of the mirror. Record this also in Table 1.

5. Stack 10 pieces of one-peso coin in front of the plane mirror as in Figure 2. Using
a ruler, measure the height and width of the stack of coins. Measure also the height
and width of the image as seen on the mirror. Enter your measurements
 Activity 2
CALCULATING MIRRORS

Directions: Solve the following problem below.

1. An object is placed 30 cm from a convex mirror. The focal

length is 10cm. Determine.
a) the image distance
b) the magnification of the image

2. An object is placed 40 cm from a concave mirror. The focal

1. Given: f = 10 cm 2. Given: f = 10 cm
do = 30 cm do = 40 cm

Required: a) di = ? Required: a) di = ?
b) Magnification, M b) Magnification, M = ?
=?
Equations: a) 1/f = 1/do + 1/di
Equations: a) 1/f = 1/do + 1/di b) M = -di/do
b) M = -di/do
1/f = 1/do + 1/di
1/f = 1/do + 1/di 1/di = 1/f - 1/do
1/di = 1/f - 1/do = 1/-40- 1/40
= 1/-10 - 1/30 Note: f = ( - ) because the mirror
Note: f = ( - ) because the is convex
mirror is convex = - 4/40 - 1/40
= - 2/30 - 1/30 1/di = - 3/40
1/di = - 3/30
3 di = 40/3
di = - 10 cm di=13.33
M = -di/do
= - (-10cm)/30cm M = -di/do
M = + (1/3) = - (13.33cm)/40cm
M = + 0.33

What is the difference between concave and convex?

If a hollow sphere is cut into parts and the outer surface of the cut part is
painted, then it becomes a mirror with its inner surface as the reflecting
surface. This type of mirror is known as a concave mirror. If the cut part of the
hollow sphere is painted from the inside, then its outer surface becomes the
reflecting surface. This kind of mirror is known as a convex mirror
C. E X P L A I N Explain the topic using the following guide questions:
1. What is a mirror?
2. What is the difference between a concave and a convex mirror?
3. What the different components both a concave and a convex mirror
has?
4. How do you calculate the object distance (do), the image distance
(di), and the focal length (f)?
