ACTIVITY 6.1: MIRRORS

1. If Shaina is standing 5 feet in front of a plane mirror, the distance of the image will be
Ten feet away from the other side of the mirror. Explain. If you stand 5 feet from the
mirror, then your image is five feet on the other side of the mirror; this puts your image
a total of 10 feet from you.
2. Illustrate a diagram showing the direction of the rays for a concave and convex mirror
and label the object, object distance, image distance, focal length, principal focus, and
vertex.
a. Concave mirror

3. If a 12 cm bottle is standing a distance from a convex mirror and the focal length is 5 m,
length
find the radius of curvature, image distance, magnification, and image height from a
distance of 4, 8, and 10 m away. Determine if the image is real or virtual, upright or
upside down, or smaller or larger.
a. Radius of curvature
R = 2F
R=2x5m
R = 10 m
b. Image distance
