What do you

see?
Why do you see
your image in
the mirror?
 What does your image
do after you lift your
left hand in front of the
plane mirror?
 Why was the task more difficult than
you thought it might be?
 Is the size of the image of the star
exactly the same with the star in front
of the mirror? Why?
 Where is the image located?
 ACTIVITY 1:
“Mirror, mirror,
on the wall”
 OBJECTIVES
1. Compare the actual height, width
and the distance from the mirror of
the object with that of the image
formed by plane mirror.

2. Describe images formed by plane

mirror.
 Your task!
 Student 1 and 2 assembles the set up for
the activity and time keeper.
 Student 3, 4, and 5 do the measurement of
distance, height, and width.
 Student 6 and 7 record the data in the
tables.
 Student 8 and 9 answer the guide question.
 Student 10 present the output of the group.
 Thing to remember.
handle the mirror with
care because some
mirrors have sharp edges.
1. Refer to Table1; compare the distance
(number of parallel lines) from the mirror of
the object with that of the image.
The distance (as indicated by the number of
parallel lines) of the object from the mirror is the
same as the distance of the image from the
mirror.
2. How do the height and width of the object
compare with the height and width of the
image?
The height and the width of the object is the
same as the height and width of the image as
seen from the plane mirror.

 A 1.6 m girl having a ribbon in her left hair is
standing in front of a plane mirror with a distance
of 1 meter. How will you describe her image?
 A girl ribbon’s image will be in the right hair.
 The distance of the image from the mirror is 1 m.
 The height of the image will be 1.6 m
 The size, distance, and height of the image formed
in a plane mirror is always the same to the size,
distance, and height of the actual object.
 The image formed is upright (erect) but reverse or
reversed.
