Mirror Physics
In order to understand mirrors, we first must understand light. The law of
reflection says that when a ray of light hits a surface, it bounces in a certain way, like a
tennis ball thrown against a wall. The incoming angle, called the angle of incidence, is
always equal to the angle leaving the surface, or the angle of reflection. In physics
class, the behavior of light is often studied by observing its reflection off of plane (flat)
mirrors. Mirrors are typically smooth surfaces, even at the microscopic levels. As such,
they offer each individual ray of light the same surface orientation. But quite obviously,
mirrors are not the only types of objects which light reflects off of. Most objects which
reflect light are not smooth at the microscopic level. Your clothing, the walls of most
rooms, most flooring, skin, and even paper are all rough when viewed at the
microscopic level. Reflection off of smooth surfaces such as mirrors or a calm body of
water leads to a type of reflection known as specular reflection. Reflection off of rough
surfaces such as clothing, paper, and the asphalt roadway leads to a type of reflection
known as diffuse reflection. Whether the surface is microscopically rough or smooth
has a tremendous impact upon the subsequent reflection of a beam of light.
Science Processes
Conceptualizing, Discovering, Analyzing, and Explaining
Values Integration
Appreciate the beauty of world because of reflection.
III. Learning Tasks
A. ENGAGE
Ask student why we see things (Because of light)
Develop definition of:
Light - The word usually refers to visible light, which is visible to the human
eye and is responsible for the sense of sight.
Reflection - the throwing back by a body or surface of (Light), heat, or sound
without absorbing it.
B. Explore
Divide students into two groups with at least 5 members each.

Pre Lab instruction
Set of Standard during activity
Cooperate with the group
Work harmoniously
Perform the activity
Share Ideas with the Group
Do not play with any hazardous objects
Activity Proper (please refer to activity to activity sheets)
C. Explain
Basic properties of light light travel straight in the same medium
Properties of light in different medium light can be absorbed, transferred,
or reflected.
How light ray behaves in broken mirror (light ray pointing on different
direction)
How Light ray behaves in plane mirror (Pointing in one direction)
How we see things Discuss specular and diffuse reflection
How image is being formed - Explain how brain works in production of
image.
D. Elaborate
The teacher will make student realize the importance of reflection and let
the student know various application of mirror.
