What to Focus On

  • Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection.
  • Incident ray, reflected ray, and normal lie in one plane.
  • A normally incident ray retraces its path.

  • Plane mirror images are virtual, erect, same size, and laterally inverted.
  • Image distance behind the mirror equals object distance in front.
  • If the object moves, the image moves by the same distance.

  • Lateral inversion means left-right interchange in a mirror image.
  • Some symmetric letters do not show noticeable lateral inversion.
  • Parallel mirrors produce infinite images.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A plane mirror reflects 100% of the light falling on it.

The front polished surface of a plane mirror is the reflecting surface.

The angle of incidence is measured from the mirror surface, not from the normal.
