What to Focus On

  • Light is electromagnetic energy that makes objects visible
  • Luminous objects emit their own light; non-luminous objects reflect light
  • Reflection follows two fundamental laws

  • Plane mirror images are virtual, erect, and same size
  • Object and image are equidistant from the mirror
  • Lateral inversion changes left to right

  • Concave mirrors converge light rays to a focus
  • Convex mirrors diverge light rays from a focus
  • Focal length f = R/2 (half of radius of curvature)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The image in a plane mirror is formed ON the mirror surface

Concave mirrors always form real images and convex mirrors always form virtual images

Light bends toward the normal when going from any medium to any other medium
