CH 10 Light PPT 10.1 Till Plane Mirror

This document discusses the reflection and refraction of light. It covers topics including reflection of light, the laws of reflection, and image formation using plane and spherical mirrors. Specifically, it defines reflection as light being sent back into the same medium when it hits a polished surface like a mirror. It describes the two laws of reflection: 1) the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, and 2) the incident ray, reflected ray, and normal all lie in the same plane. It also explains that images formed by plane mirrors are virtual, erect, and laterally inverted.

10. Mirror formula
Light :-
i) Light is a form of energy which helps us to see objects.
ii) When light falls on objects, it reflects the light and when the
reflected light reaches our eyes then we see the objects.
iii) Light travels in straight line.
iv) The common phenomena of light are formation of shadows,
formation of images by mirrors and lenses, bending of light by a
medium, twinkling of stars, formation of rainbow etc.
Reflection of light :-
When light falls on a highly polished surface like a mirror most of
the light is sent back into the same medium. This process is called
reflection of light.
Laws of reflection of light
i) The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
ii) The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the
mirror at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane.

<i <r
Image formed by a plane mirror
i) The image is erect and Virtual(cannot
be obtained on a screen).
ii) The image is same size as the object.
iii) The image is at the same distance
from the mirror as the object is in
front of it.
iv) The image is laterally inverted.
