This video shows the Mirror Equation and The Sign Conventions for Mirror

Activity Conduct a lecture discussion on the Mirror Equation pages 190-191 of LM Science 10.

Figure 15. Similar Triangles Formed using the (a) first ray (P – F ray) and (b) fourth ray
(V ray).

Equation 1 Equation 2

Combining Equations 1 and 2, you will get Equation 3

Rearranging Equation 3, you will arrive at

and finally

Mirror Equation
Seatwork: What is the image distance and image height if a 7.00-cm tall
object
is placed 30.0 cm from a concave mirror having a focal length of 10.0
cm?
Analysis 1. How is the mirror equation being stated?
2. What is the use or purpose of mirror equation?
2. What are the different sign conventions?
Abstraction The Mirror equation is used to determine the exact location and size of the image formed in a curved mirror.

Mirror Equation:
The Sign Conventions for Mirror
• f is positive (+) if the mirror is a concave mirror
• f is negative (-) if the mirror is a convex mirror
 • q is (+) if the image is a real image and located on
the object’s side of the mirror.
• q is (-) if the image is a virtual image and located
behind the mirror
• h’ is (+) if the image is an upright image
• h’ is (-) if the image an inverted image
Application Solve the give problems:
1. A magnified, inverted image is located a distance of 30.0 cm from a
concave mirror with a focal length of 15.0 cm. What is the object
distance?
2. An object is placed 33.7 cm from the convex mirror with a focal length
of
10.7 cm. Determine the image distance.
3. A 7.0-cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 37.5 cm from a convex
mirror
having a focal length of -12.5 cm. Determine the image distance and the
image size.

Assessment A. Direction: Answer the following questions correctly.

1. What is the meaning of a negative focal length?
2. What does a negative image indicate?
3. What does a negative image height tell you?
B. Solve the problems accurately. Show complete solution.
1. Determine the image distance and image height for a 5 cm tall object placed 45 cm from a
concave mirror having a focal length of 15cm.
2. A magnified, inverted image is located a distance of 32cm from a concave mirror with a
focal length of 12cm. Solve for the object’s distance and tell whether the image is real or
virtual.
