What to Focus On

  • Light makes objects visible by reflection or transmission.
  • Light seems to travel in straight lines in ordinary optical situations.
  • Sharp shadows support the ray model.
  • Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection.
  • Incident ray, normal, and reflected ray lie in the same plane.
  • Plane mirror image is virtual, erect, same size, and laterally inverted.
  • Concave mirror: reflecting surface curved inwards.
  • Convex mirror: reflecting surface curved outwards.
  • Pole lies on the mirror surface.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The centre of curvature is a point on the mirror surface.

For a convex mirror, the focal length is negative because the focus is behind the mirror.

The mirror formula and lens formula use the same signs in the same way.
