 Let Us Learn!

Let there be light!

It is one of the famous lines that give weight to the importance of the
visible spectrum. In a dark room, we are unable to see things. When light
finds a way, the objects reflect the light and may reach our eyes. These
reflected lights are processed by our brain and interpret it as the image of
the object. Through this phenomenon, we can explore the properties of light
and how it produces a variety of images depending on the tools that we use.

In this module, we will master on how to predict the qualitative

characteristics (orientation, type, and magnification) of images formed by
plane and curved mirrors and lenses (S10FE-IIg-50).

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Illustrate the ray diagram of the following:
- Plane Mirror
- Curved mirror (Concave and Convex)
- Lenses (Convergent and Divergent)
2. Identify the possible location, orientation, size(magnification), and type of
the images formed in mirrors and lenses.
3. Reflect on the importance of the use of mirrors and lenses in accomplishing
daily tasks.

Let Us Try!

Hooray! Are you excited?

Let Us Study

Reflection of light is responsible for forming images. Before we go to

the characteristics of images, always remember that light travels in a
straight path. When it hits an object like a mirror, it bounces back at the
same angle. It is called the Law of Reflection.

1. Characteristics of Images Formed in the Mirror

Mirrors produce images through the reflection of light. These images

depend on the shape of the surface of the mirror and the location or
distance of the object from the mirror. Commonly, we have a plane mirror,
concave mirror, and convex mirror as the main classification of mirrors
according to shape. Qualitative characteristics of its image can be
abbreviated as LOST. It means Location, Orientation, Size (magnification),
and Type.

Example: L – in front
O - inverted
S - reduced
T – real image

4
1. Location - It is the relative location of the image formed in front or at the
back of the mirror.

2. Orientation - It is the inclination of the image compared to the object. The

image could be inverted if the image is upside-down or upright if the image
is in standing the same as the object.

3. Size - It is also called magnification. It is the size of the image compared

to the object. It could be reduced, enlarged, or unmagnified.
Reduced - if the image is smaller than the object
Enlarged - if the image is larger than the object
Unmagnified - if the image is the same size as the object

4. Type - The image could be real or virtual. A real image is formed when an
actual light ray converges (always formed in front of the mirror). A virtual
image is formed due to imaginary light rays (always formed at the back of
the mirror).

1.1 Ray Diagramming for Mirrors (Plane Mirror)

Did you know what makes up the mirror? It is made up of glass and a
thin silver layer at the back called amalgam. This metal alloy makes the
reflection clear to produce a vibrant image. In the plane mirror, the images
are not distorted.

Follow each instruction with a sample illustration to sketch the

complete ray diagram of the image inside the box.

Step 1: Draw the object (this time is an upright arrow), the mirror, and the
principal axis

Plane Mirror
Object

Principal axis

5
Step 2: From the top of the object, draw a ray parallel to the principal axis
going to the mirror. Once it hits the mirror, it will be reflected in the object
(still parallel to the principal axis.

Step 3: From the top of the object, draw another ray going to the intersection
of the mirror and principal axis. The ray will be reflected downward with the
same angle before it hits the mirror as stated in the Law of Reflection.

Step 4: Since the two reflected rays do not intersect, extend the two rays at
the back of the mirror until they will meet. The intersection of these rays
shows the characteristics of the image.

1.2 Ray Diagramming for Curve / Spherical Mirrors
1.2.1 (Concave Mirror)

A Concave Mirror is an example of a curve / spherical mirror due to

the shape of its surface. In a concave mirror, its surface is curved inward
just like looking cave. Here are the steps in diagraming the lights reflected
on it to form an image.

Step 1: After you have drawn your principal axis and a curve line for the
spherical mirror, place your object at its proper location from the mirror.
You also need to indicate point C (the center point of the sphere base on the
curvature of the mirror) and focal point (the midpoint/center between point
C and mirror).

and is reflected parallel to the principal axis. ( F – P ray ).

1.2.2 Convex Mirror

As a head engineer in a mirror museum, you will check what possible
image is formed when you use a convex mirror. You will investigate the
L-O-S-T characteristics of the images when an object is positioned in varied
locations.

You are guided in your investigation by following each instruction with

a sample illustration to sketch the complete ray diagram of the image.

Step 1: The same in the previous activity, draw the object, the mirror, and
the principal axis. Since we are using a convex mirror, the orientation of
point c and point f is opposite because the imaginary sphere is formed at the
back of the mirror due to the outward surface.

reflected in the same path.

Step 5: Find the intersection of all reflected rays to identify the L-O-S-T of the
image. You can extend the rays at the back of the mirror to determine the
position of the image.

2. Ray Diagramming for Lenses

Unlike with the mirror that reflects the light, the lens allows the light
to pass through. But when the light passes the mirror, it changes direction.
It is called refraction. This refracted light will form the image when they
meet. The intersection of light rays will help us determine the qualitative
characteristics of an image.

The definition and how to determine the characteristics are the same
besides little difference in the type of image. Please refer to the Venn
diagram below for their differences.

The same with the mirror, lenses can classify according to its shape.
In this module, we can classify them into converging and a diverging lens.

Come and let us find more about them!

2.1 Ray Diagramming for Converging Lens

As suggested by its name, the converging lens converges/meet the
traveling lights rays towards the focus. It makes all incident parallel light rays
move closer to the focal point of the lens.

An example of this classification of the lens is a biconvex lens.

Note:

Lenses have 2 focal point (1 in front

and 1 at the back) because it has two
⚫ ⚫ imaginary circles by extending its
sides.

Here are the three simple steps.

Step 1: Incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis will refract
through the lens and travel through the focal point at the back of the lens.

2.2 Ray Diagramming for Diverging Lens

As the name suggests, a diverging lens diverges/disperse the traveling
lights rays away from the focal point. An example of this classification of the
lens is a biconcave lens.

Here are the three simple steps.

Step 1: Incident ray traveling parallel to the principal axis will refract
through the lens and travel in line to the focal point in front of the lens.

Let Us Sum It Up!

Awesome! Now, let us gather what we have learned. The following are
the main points or ideas we learned from the previous activities in this
module.

At the end of this summary, there is a special hidden message just for
you. To find this message, classify what you have learned throughout this
module if it applies to mirrors, lenses, or both. Color each box in the grid to
reveal the message.

I Learned that….
1. The mirror reflects lights light that can form images.

2. Mirror categorizes mainly with plane mirror, concave mirror, and

convex mirror.

23
3. Lens transmits and refracts light that can be enlarged or reduced to the
image of the object.

4. Lens categorizes mainly with a converging lens and a diverging lens.

5. Ray diagram includes the following terms/parts in determining the

image.
a. Principal axis - horizontal line perpendicular to the mirror
or lens
b. Point C - It is also called as the center of curvature. It
is
found at the center of the imaginary circle
formed from the side/s of the mirror or lens.
c. Focal point - It is the midpoint of point c and the mirror /
lens

6. In ray diagramming, it requires two or three light rays to intersect to

form the image.

7. The image can be characterized in terms of location, orientation, size,

and type.
a. Location - is the area where the image is found due to
the intersection of reflected light rays.
b. Orientation - Image can be upright (formed above the
principal axis) or inverted (formed below
principal axis).

c. Size - Image size could be reduced (smaller than

the object), enlarged (larger than the object),
or unmagnified (same size with the object).
d. Type - Image formed could be REAL (formed by
actual light rays) or VIRTUAL (formed by
imaginary/extension of light rays)
8. Generally, the image formed in the following rays.
a. P – F ray = Ray from the height of the object moving parallel
with principal axis reflected by the mirror or
refracted by the lens passing through the focal point.
b. F – P ray = Ray from the height of the object moving towards
the focal point will be reflected by the mirror or
refracted by the lens as parallel to the principal axis.

9. All mirrors produce a real image in front of it because actual light rays
are reflected by its surface.

24
 10. All lenses produce a real image on its back because the actual light
rays are transmitted and refracted as it passes through it.

11. Plane mirrors have unmagnified, upright, and virtual images.

12. The characteristics of the image formed in the curved/spherical mirror

depend on the location of the object from the mirror.

13. Converging lens formed different characteristics of the image

depending on the location of the object from it.

14. Images formed in a diverging lens have the same qualitative

characteristics despite the location of the object in front of the lens.

Enrichment 2: Vampire’s Reflection
After eating his breakfast, Jery found out that he has no or blurred
reflection in his new bathroom mirror. When he moves away from it, his
reflection is inverted but when he moves closer, his reflection is upright and
smaller.

He was afraid and calls you to explain this phenomenon. You observe
that his mirror’s surface is curved inward.

Based on what you have learned in ray diagramming, explain to Jery

what happened to his reflection in that curved mirror.
