important Definitions
Incident Ray : The ray of light which strikes any surface is called incident ray.
Point of incidence : Its the point at which incident ray falls on the reflecting surface
Reflected ray : The ray of light which is bounced back by any reflecting surface is called reflected ray.
Normal : Itis line drawn perpendicular to the reflecting surface at the point of incidence
Angle of incidence : Angle made by incident ray with the normal at the point of incidence. It is represented
by.
4 Angle of reflection : Angle made by reflected ray with the normal at the point of incidence. Itis represented
byr.
Object : Anything which gives out light either by itself or after reflection from it is said to be an object.
For example: a candle, tube light, sun, moon, table, chair et.
4 Point object : A very small object like pin head is a point object and is represented by a dot (.).
4 Extended object : Large objects like car, bus, candle etc. are called extended objects and are represented
by an arrow (1).
% Image : There are two types of images viz. real image and virtual image
Real image is an image formed by the actual intersection of light rays. It can be obtained on the screen.
eg. - The image formed on cinema screen ie., the image formed by a projector.
"4 Virtual image : If the rays of light responsible for an image formation do not intersect actually but appears
to meet at some point, then the image is called a virtual image. It cannot be obtained on the screen.
eg. - The image formed by a plane mirror of a real object is virtual.
_% Plane mirror : A plane glass sheet having a thin layer of silver metal deposited on one side which is
protected by a coat of red paint. The light is reflected from silvered surface of the plane mirror. A plane
mirror and its schematic representation are shown in the following figure.

sign Convention for Reflection by Spherical Mirrors
The object (as the object AB in the figure) is always placed to the left of the mirror which implies that
the light from the object falls on the mirror from the left of the mirror.
2. All the distances parallel to the principal axis are measured from the pole.
The distances measured along the direction of incident rays are taken as positive and that opposite to
the direction of incident rays are taken as negative, as shown in the figures given below.
All the distances measured perpendicular to and above the principal axis are taken as positive, and those
below the principal axis are taken negative, as shown in the figure below.

‘Mirror Formuta
The distance of the object from the pole of a spherical mirror is called the object distance (u) and the distance
of the image from the pole of the mirror is called the image distance (v).
The relationship between object distance (u), image distance (v) and focal length (f) is known as mirror formula.

Important points about Spherical Mirrors. :
You should remember the following important points while dealing with the spherical mirors

is taken as negative,
(The real image is formed in front of the mirror. So its distance (V) "
(ii) The virtual image is formed at the back of the mirror. So its distance (V) is taken as positive,
() Focal length of concave mirror is considered as negative.
() Focal length of convex mirror is considered as positive.
(¥) When image formed is virtual and erect, magnification is positive.
(vi) When image formed is real and inverted, magnification is negative.
(vii) The height of the object is taken to be positive as the object is usually placed above the principal axis
() The height of the image should be taken as positive for virtual images while, itis taken as negative for,
images.
Uses of Spherical Mirrors
Concave mirror is used :
() Asa reflector in search lights, head lights of motor vehicles to get powerful parallel beams of light.
also used in telescope, solar cookers etc.
{ii)_ In ophthalmoscope for reflecting light on to the retina of the eye.
(iil) As @ shaving mirror, make-up mirror as it can form erect and magnified image.
() By dentists to see large images of the teeth of patients.
Convex mirror is used :
As rear-view mirror in automobiles (like cars, trucks and buses) to see the traffic at the back side. Such:
mirror is preferred because it has a much wider field of view as compared to plane mirror or a concave mir’
and always produces an erect image.

Fix a white paper on a board. Place a transparent slab in the middle and draw its boundary. Oraw a line RP
that meets one of the boundaries at P. Fix two pins A, B vertically on this line such that the separation
petween the pins is about 10 om. Now, look at the image of these pins from the other side of the slab and
insert a pin C such that 3 pins come in a straight line j.e., the images of A and 8 appear just behind C. Now
insert another pin D (about 10 cm from C) such that 4 pins come in straight line. Remove the pins and join
the points where C and D were inserted. Extend it to meet the boundary at Q. Join PQ. RP, PQ and QD :

it gets refracted again as it re-enters to air. Figure (b) shows the cross-section of the slab and ray's path.

When the rays of light travel from one transparent
medium to another, the path of light changes. The
bending of light depends on the optical density of
medium through which the light pass.
Whenever light goes from one medium to another, the
frequency of light does not change however, speed and
wavelength change. It is concluded that the change in
direction of propagation of light is known as refraction of
light.

Let us consider a concave mirror of small aperture, on which a ray is incident parallel and close to the
principal axis. It passes through focus F, after reflection. Join CB. CB is normal to the mitror at B.

ZABC = an object placed beyond centre of curvature.

Mirror Formula Derivation
In AABP and AA’B'P
ZAPB = ZA'PB
ZABP = ZA'BP
So, AABP ~ AA’B'P
