Present the content and provide learning guidance
Reflection is when light bounces off an object. To learn more about reflection of
light in mirrors, here are some important terms you need to understand.
Incident Ray. The ray of light approaching

the mirror represented by an arrow
approaching an optical element like mirrors.
Reflected Ray. The ray of light which leaves

the mirror and is represented by an arrow
pointing away from the mirror.
Normal Line. An imaginary line that can be drawn perpendicular to the

surface of the mirror at the point of incidence where the ray strikes the
mirror.
It is called a Regular/Specular reflection when the light reflects at the same

angles as it hits a smooth and shiny surface like mirrors and polished metals.
Irregular/Diffused reflection is when light hits a rough object and reflects in
different directions.
HIGH SCHOOL
Module 14
Laws
of Reflection
1. The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal line to the reflecting surface
all lie on the same plane.
2. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
A reflection in flat surface appears to be the same distance from the

other side of the mirror as the viewer’s eyes are from the mirror. When light
is reflected from a mirror, it bounces off at the same angle in the opposite
direction from which it hit. For example, if the light hits a flat or plane mirror
at a 30-degree angle from the left, it will bounce off at a 30-
degree angle to the right.
However, if the surface of the mirror is curved, the angles of reflection

are different at different points on the surface. The most common curved
surface used in optical devices is a spherical mirror. If the mirror is convex,
or curve outward. It will reflect a wider area, in which images appear smaller
and farther away than those from a flat mirror.
If the surface is concave or curved inward, a group of light rays from a
distant source is reflected back toward a single location known as the focal
point. This generally produces a magnifying effect.
There are two types of images formed by reflecting surfaces. Real image
is located in front of the mirror. It is always inverted and is formed by actual rays
of light. It can be projected on the screen. While virtual image is located behind
the mirror. It is always upright and is formed by apparent rays of light. It cannot
be projected on the screen.
Spherical or Curved Mirrors
A curved mirror is a mirror with curved reflecting surface. Most curved

mirrors have surfaces that are shaped like part of a sphere. There are two kinds
of curved mirrors. The concave and the convex mirrors.
If the reflecting surface is curved inward, it is concave mirror. If the

reflecting is curved outward, it is a convex mirror.

Synthesis
Here are the module’s key ideas:
HIGH SCHOOL
Module 14
●
Electromagnetic wave (EM wave) or electromagnetic radiation is a wave that is created
as a result of vibrations between an electric field and magnetic field, hence known
as ‘electromagnetic wave’.
● There are seven different types of EM waves. They are arranged in a gradual progression
from the waves of lowest frequency to highest frequency. This arrangement of EM waves
is called electromagnetic spectrum. In order of increasing frequency, the EM spectrum
includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma ray.
Assess performance
Directions: A. Read the statements carefully and write TRUE if the statement is correct
and FALSE if not.
___________1. A virtual image is an image located behind

the mirror.
___________2. Concave mirrors can form real images
___________3. Concave mirrors can form virtual images
___________4. A real image is a copy of an object formed at the point
where light rays actually meet.
___________5. A convex mirror can produce real and
virtual images.
___________6. Plane mirrors create real images.
___________7. A mirror with a flat surface is a plane mirror
___________8. The point at which the light rays meet is called the focal
point.
___________9. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is
less than the angle of reflection.
___________10. A plane mirror always produces an upright image.
