Reflection of Light in Mirrors
DIRECTIONS: This worksheet will help you to demonstrate an understanding of the
images formed by the different mirrors. Read carefully the instructions in each activity to
successfully achieve the learning competency of this worksheet.
Q2_W4_Science 10_ Predict the qualitative characteristics (orientation, type, and
magnification) of images formed by plane and curved mirrors. (S10-FE-lig-50)
Introduction:
When you stand in front of a mirror, you will see your own image. Why does it happen?
It is because mirror is a reflecting surface. When light rays strike a smooth and shiny surface like
mirror, the light rays bounce back. This property of light is called REFLECTION. We can see
different objects around us because light is reflected to our eyes by these objects
Activity 1. Look Alike
A. Place the mirror in the wall.
B. Using meter stick, measure 1-meter, 2-meter and 3-meter distance from the mirror. Mark
each distance using chalk or marker pen. (see illustration below)
C. Stand in front of a mirror at 3-meter mark. Look at your image.
Q1. Describe the size of your image compare it to your actual size.
Q2. How about the location and orientation of your image from the mirror?
D. Move towards the mirror at 2-meter mark.
Q3. What have you observed about the size and orientation your image compared to
your actual size?
Q4. How about the distance of the image compare to your distance from the mirror?
E. Again move towards 1-meter mark in front of the mirror.
Q5. Compare your image to your actual size, orientation and distance from the mirror
Q6. Write your observation in the table on the next page.
Your location Location of your Size of your Image Orientation of the
Image Image
3m. from the mirror
2m. from the mirror
1m. from the mirror
F. Using Pentel pen, write your name in a clear sheet of bond paper. Hold it facing the mirror.
Q7. How do you read your name in the image formed in the mirror?

Activity 4: DM (Doing Math) IS THE KEY
Direction: Following the mirror equation formula, answer the following problems below.
1. A 135 cm boy stands at a distance of 150cm in front of a concave mirror with focal
length of 25 cm? Where is the location of the image? How tall is the image? Is the image
upright or inverted? Real or virtual?
2. A convex mirror has a focal length of 15cm. At what distance will the image form if
the object is placed 45 cm from the mirror. If the object is 12 cm tall, what is the height of the
image?
