Mirrors and lenses both have the ability to reflect or refract light. This
property has put mirrors and lenses in use for centuries. As of 2010, mirrors and
lenses are so prevalent that most people use them every day, regardless of
whether or not they consciously perceive the use. There are standard and
innovative uses for mirrors.

What’s In
Imagine yourself as a curious little scientist. Have that drive to push new
limits and keep yourself excited about the world around you. Usually, in science,
the real answer is usually far from obvious. When we are curious, we ask
ourselves “why did this happen?” or “why isn’t this the result I expected?”. As
human beings, curiosity is one of the greatest strengths we have.
In this lesson, you will learn how plane mirrors are used in devices utilized
by scientists and even ordinary people like you.
You will have a broader understanding on how plane mirrors are widely
used in our day to day living and how they play a significant role in technology.
What’s New
Optical Devices
Optical instruments are the devices that process light wave to improve
an image for clearer viewing. Using an optical instrument like a magnifying lens
or other complex device like microscope or telescope usually makes things
bigger and allows us to see in a more detailed manner. Using converging lenses
makes things look bigger and on the other hand, diverging lenses always gets
smaller images for you.
The first optical instruments were telescopes which were used to magnify
distant images, and microscopes used for magnifying very small images. These
instruments have been greatly improved since the days of Galileo and Van
5
Leeuwenhoek, and have been extended into other portions of
the electromagnetic spectrum.
Plane Mirrors
The images that a plane mirror reflects are known as "virtual images" –
but they are different from the simulated digital images that you can see on your
computer screen or in a game on your phone. The difference between a real
versus virtual image is that a real image is formed when light converges at a
point – like looking at an apple on your desk – a virtual image is formed from two
divergent rays of light which never meet. To simplify, a plane mirror creates an
image of an object you cannot touch. This way, all mirrors create virtual images,
but plane mirrors reflect light differently than concave or convex mirrors do.
Reflections from the plane mirror create upright virtual images with the
same magnification or size and distance as the objects they reflect. That is why
you can use a plane mirror to decide precisely where there is something behind
you.

Where are plane mirrors used?
1. Elevator Mirrors
Turns out, back in the day, when elevators were relatively new, people
stood in them, staring into nothingness with an exaggerated sense of time
because they had nothing else to do. All they could think of was their very
natural fear of falling from an elevator suspended mid-air with nothing but
cables. So, mirrors were installed in order to distract people and give them
something to look at while they waited. The mirrors also gave the usually small
space of an elevator a sense of depth, thereby reducing the feeling of
claustrophobia that one might feel in such an enclosed space.
2. Periscope
7
A simple periscope consists of an outer case with mirrors at each end
set parallel to each other at a 45° angle. Periscopes allow a submarine, when
submerged at a relatively shallow depth, to search visually for nearby targets
and threats on the surface of the water and in the air.

3. Kaleidoscope
A kaleidoscope is a toy that uses light and mirrors to reflect objects and
create beautiful, fascinating repeating patterns. There are many different types
of kaleidoscopes that create different patterns, but all use the same basic laws of
physics, manipulating light and reflection.
When looking through the hole, light filters through the glass (or clear
plastic) on the end of the object chamber and illuminates the objects, which then
reflect off of all of the mirrors. The reflections bounce off of one another as the
light passes through the tube. The eye sees these bouncing reflections, creating
the patters. As the kaleidoscope rotates, the objects shift in the chamber, and
the reflection changes, creating new patterns. The concept is simple, but creates
a wonderful end result that delights and entertains.

*Cut about 1" (2.5 cm) around the traced circle; with that extra 1", cut
little notches around the circle so it bends more easily (it'll sort of look like
a firework).
*Cut a triangle or circle in the center of the paper to view through. Center
the cardboard tube on top of your circle and secure the edges with tape
(unless you're using contact paper, of course).
5. Create your plastic lenses. Get an empty plastic container or two and trace
two circles using the end of your tube (permanent marker is easiest to see). With
an object that's about ½" (1.25 cm) larger than your tube, draw around the
previous ones. Then, cut around the each of the larger circles with scissors.
Lenses!
With one of the circles, cut notches all the way to the inside of the smaller circle
-- this'll be called lens 1. It should sort of resemble a gear. With the other circle,
cut notches to the outside tracing of the smaller circle — this'll be lens 2. Lay
them flat against the table and bend the notches upwards.

confetti on top of this plastic lens. Cap your gems using lens 2, notches
facing down, and use masking tape to secure it all together.
7. Decorate your tube. The easiest way to make this kaleidoscope look
as impressive as possible is contact paper -- so long as you work out
the bubbles! But you can also use construction paper or even gift
wrap to jazz it up. And then add on some glitter or stickers if the
urge strikes!
8. Put your kaleidoscope to good use. Done! Now all you have to do is
hold it up to the light and look through it. The light bounces off the
mirrors, creating the kaleidoscope effect you see inside. (1)

What I Need to Know
Now that you already understand what optical devices are and how plane
mirrors are used in these devices, it’s now time to learn something new. Aside
from plane mirrors, we also have another classification of mirrors known as the
curved mirrors (spherical mirrors). There is also a wide array of optical devices
using the curved mirrors. Let us explore more with the succeeding items.

bathrooms, but they can be helpful in the right situation; for example, because
plane mirrors can't produce useful images at certain angles, the mirrors on the
side of a car are convex. They allow drivers to see behind and to the sides of
their vehicle, though these virtual images aren't at the same distance as the
objects they reflect. This is why car mirrors have messages reminding drivers
that objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear in the reflection.
Convex mirrors curve outwardly. Light rays diverge as they reflect off the
curve of this mirror; when the rays converge again, the viewer sees an image.
Convex mirror images are upright and appear farther away than they really are.
Concave mirrors curve inwardly. Light rays diverge off the curve of this
mirror. The image may be upside down if the object is too far away. When the
object is close to the mirror, it appears right side up and magnified. (2)
What is It

Application of Curved Mirrors
Where are curved mirrors used?
1. Side Mirrors (Motorcycle or Car)
One of the most important safety devices on your vehicle is its set of
mirrors. It might be considered the simplest but it plays a great role in ensuring
your safety on the road. A side mirror, also known as the wing mirror, is
a mirror placed on the outside of motor vehicles to help the driver see areas
behind and to the sides of the vehicle, outside the driver's peripheral view known
as the "blind spot”.
2. Dental Mirror
Concave mirrors are the most common dental instruments used in a
dentist’s office, and most patients will agree that they are less scary compared to
other equipment such as forceps and drills. They are part of
diagnostic instruments in dentistry. The concave mirror is sometimes referred
to as the mouth mirror. The head of the mirror is usually round and can be in
different sizes depending on the diameter of the mirror.
21
The mirror is made of a handle and head. The head is made of specified
sizes depending on the manufactures but what is likely to change is the head,
which depends on the requirement. Concave mirrors magnify images such that
when the object is at a distance from the mirror, it forms an inverted image and
as the object gets closer to the mirror it forms an image that is magnified.
Some of the mirror’s handles are metal, while others are made of a
combination of metal and resin or metal with silicon padding. Others are made of
resin only. Dentists that are concerned about the weight of the mirror prefer a
lightweight mirror made of a resin handle with handgrips that are silicon padded.
Most mirrors are made of round surfaces. The mirror number shows the
relative diameter of the mirror. Most dentists prefer size four or five mirrors, but
a small-sized mirror with a number three diameter is important in case of mirror
size issues. Mirrors that are double-sided help dentists enhance visualization,
improve light reflection and are ergonomically beneficial since they have a
unique bend in the mirror stem. Today dentists’ mirrors are more than a shiny
surface as manufacturers have come up with all kinds of mirrors that give
dentists an enhanced view of the inside of the patient’s mouth. (3)

3. Solar Cooker
A solar cooker can do almost anything a stove or an oven can do, only it
uses a natural nonpolluting, free, abundant energy source. In this article, we'll
find out how sunlight becomes heat, check out the different types of cookers
available and how they work, see what makes solar cooking a potential lifesaver
in many parts of the world and examine some of its shortcomings.
22
At its simplest, the sunlight-to-heat conversion occurs when photons
(particles of light) moving around within light waves interact with molecules
moving around in a substance. The electromagnetic rays emitted by the sun
have a lot of energy in them. When they strike matter, whether solid or liquid, all
of this energy causes the molecules in that matter to vibrate. They get excited
and start jumping around. This activity generates heat. Solar cookers use a
couple of different methods to harness this heat. (4)

n Uses of Lenses in Optical
3 Devices
You encounter lenses every day. Whether it’s the lens on your cell phone
camera, the lenses on the eyeglasses or contact lenses you use to see clearly,
magnifying glasses, microscopes, telescopes or something else entirely, the
physics of lenses explains how a simple piece of glass can be used to magnify,
minimize or bring images into focus for any purpose.
Essentially, lenses work by bending light rays that pass through them
through refraction, but this basic point can be implemented in different ways that
varies according to the lens type. Luckily, the basics of such lenses are easy to
understand when you learn a little more about how they work. (6)

What’s In
In this lesson, you will learn how lenses are used in devices utilized by
scientists and even ordinary people like you.
You will have a broader understanding on how lenses are widely used in our day
to day living and how they play a significant role in technology.
What’s New
Lenses
A lens is a piece of transparent material that is shaped so as to cause light
rays to bend in a specific way as they pass through it, whether that means
making the rays converge to a specific point or to diverge as if from a specific
point. The material used could be a piece of glass or plastic, and the shape of the
lens determines whether it causes light rays to converge or diverge. The word
28
“lens” comes from the Latin word for “lentil,” due to the similarity in shape
between a converging lens and the legume.
The actual bending of light rays produced by a lens occurs because the
lens material has a different index of refraction than the surrounding air. This
behavior is described by Snell’s law for refraction, which relates the different in
angle between the incident and refracted light ray to the indices of refraction for
the two materials.
In short, the law says that if you’re going from a lower refractive index
substance to a higher one (e.g., from air to glass), the light ray is deflected
towards the “normal” to the surface (i.e., towards the direction perpendicular to
the surface at that point) and that the opposite is true for light rays going from a
higher refractive index material to a lower one. (6)
Terms in Optics
There are quite a few unique terms used in optics and understanding
these is crucial if you’re studying the physics of lenses.
Focal point is the point where parallel rays converge when after
passing through a lens.
Focal length of a lens is the distance from its center to the focal
point.
What is It
29
Image Source:
https://thesocialclasslens.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/magnifying-glass-2.jpg
A magnifying glass, in effect, tricks your eyes into seeing what isn't there.
Light rays from the object enter the glass in parallel but are refracted by the lens
so that they converge as they exit, and create a "virtual image" on the retina of
your eye. This image appears to be larger than the object itself because of
simple geometry: Your eyes trace the light rays back in straight lines to the
virtual image, which is farther from your eyes than the object is and thus
appears bigger. (7)
30
Image Source: https://sciencing.com/lens-physics-definition-types-how-they-
work-13722365.html
The aperture, which lets light into the inside of the camera, corresponds to
the pupil. The system of lenses in a camera performs the same function as the
lens of the eye. However, whereas the lens of the eye changes shape to change
focus, glass lenses are not very forgiving of shape changes. Instead, the lens
system can be slid along its optical axis in order to focus on the film. Of course,
the film plays the role of the retina. In addition, cameras have a shutter, which
opens and closes quickly so that the film does not get inundated with light. This
produces a more or less clear image of the instant that the photographer shoots.
(9)
A prime lens is a basic lens with a fixed focal length, and a zoom lens has
a variable focal length, so you don’t have to physically change your location to
get something in focus. A wide-angle lens is a type of lens with a very small focal
31
length that dramatically increases the field of view, and a fisheye lens is
essentially an extreme version of a wide-angle lens. (8)
3. Eyeglass or Contact Lens
Other common types of lenses are eyeglasses lenses or the contact lens,
and both of these works to correct the problems with your vision. If you’re
“nearsighted,” this means your eye lenses create images in front of the light-
sensitive retina in your eye, and so you need diverging (concave) lenses to move
the image further back.
If you’re “farsighted,” the lenses in your eyes would produce an image
further back than your retinas, so you need converging lenses to correct this
issue.
Both contact lenses and eyeglasses correct this in the same way – by
adding an additional corrective lens to make the effective focal length of your
eye match the distance to your retina – but there are differences because
contact lenses sit directly on your eyes. In a contact lens, the lens doesn’t need
to cover as much space (it only needs to be big enough for your pupil at its
maximum dilation) and can achieve this with less material. For eyeglasses
lenses, the lens needs to cover a much larger area and is thicker as a result. (8)
4. Microscope
Microscopes work by using biconvex lenses (lenses with two convex sides)
to produce a magnified version of the images. Microscopes are a little more
complicated (because they usually have multiple lenses), but they produce
magnified images in basically the same way. As on microscopes, these have
another lens in the eyepiece to make sure the captured light is in focus when it
reaches your eye. The other major type of telescope is a reflector telescope,
which uses mirrors instead of lenses to gather the light and send it to your eye.
The mirror is concave, so it focuses the light to a real image on the same side of
the mirror as the object. (8)
32

5. Binoculars
Binoculars and telescopes are the next best thing. They take you up to the
action without having to move a muscle. Binoculars are based on the science of
optics and some pretty clever tricks that lenses pull on light. (11)
33
Image Source: https://www.explainthatstuff.com/binoculars.html
You can probably see where we're heading. If you want to see something
in the distance, you can use two convex lenses, placed one in front of the other.
The first lens catches light rays from the distant object and makes a focused
image a short distance behind the lens. This lens is called the objective, because
it's nearest to the object you're looking at. The second lens picks up that image
and magnifies it, just like a magnifying glass magnifies an image on paper. If you
put the two lenses in a closed tube, hey presto, you have a telescope. (There's
quite a good demonstration on this page at Birdwatching.com.) You can make
your own telescope easily enough with a couple of magnifying glasses and a
cardboard tube wrapped around them.
Binoculars are simply two telescopes side by side, one for each eye. But
there's a catch. When light rays from a distant object pass through a convex
lens, they cross over. That's why distant things sometimes look upside down if
you look at them through a magnifying glass. The second lens doesn't sort out
that problem. So, binoculars have a pair of prisms (large wedges of glass) inside
them to rotate the image through 180 degrees. One prism rotates the image
through 90 degrees (flips it onto its side), then the next prism rotates it through
another 90 degrees (flips it onto its side again), so the two prisms effectively turn
it upside down. The prisms can either be arranged in a back-to-back
arrangement (known as roof prisms) or at 90 degrees (known as Porro prisms).
The prisms explain why binoculars are heavy and why they are sometimes
quite chunky in the middle. Field glasses, which are compact binoculars like the
ones shown in the photo here, flip the incoming images using only lenses. There
are no prisms, so field glasses are smaller, lighter and more compact—but the
image quality is poorer. (11)
