Ninth graders study optics and the law of reflection.  For this optical images lesson students use a laser and conceptualize the law of reflection.

Students experiment with a simple periscope to see how it reflects light. They draw a diagram of the path a ray of light follows as it travels from an object, through the periscope, and into your eye.

In this online interactive reflection and refraction worksheet, students respond to 7 multiple choice and fill in the blank questions regarding the information included in the provided paragraphs.

Students make a pinhole viewer to demonstrate how it inverts light passing through it which produces inverted images.

Provides a discussion of curved mirrors and ray diagrams. Shows and explains the process of drawing a ray diagram to determine the image location, size, and orientation.

Ray diagrams are useful tools for determining the location of an image as produced by a concave mirror. Of all the rays which emanate from the top of the object arrow and are incident to the mirror, there are two rays whose behavior at...

Ray diagrams are useful tools for determining the location of an image as produced by a concave mirror. All concave and convex mirror ray diagrams can be constructed from knowledge of the behavior of two rays. Learn here about ray diagrams.

In this physics tutorial, students investigate the method for drawing ray diagrams for objects placed at various locations in front of a concave mirror.

Scroll down to Lesson 2 for a tutorial on image formation in plane mirrors. The tutorial from Glenbrook South High School provides lessons on why and how an image is formed, image characteristics for plane mirrors, ray diagrams, plus more.

This illustrated physics tutorial serves as a step-by-step guide to drawing ray diagrams. It includes an opportunity for students to practice and check their answers.

Lesson 3 of this tutorial on refraction is on concave mirrors. Content that is covered includes the anatomy of curved mirrors, reflection of light and image formation, ray diagrams, image characteristics for concave mirrors, plus more.

Students learn two rules of reflection as it has to do with convex mirrors. These two rules will greatly simplify the task of determining the image locations for objects placed in front of convex mirrors.

This calculus tutorial with curved mirrors includes narrative and video presentations as well as other interactive tools.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students learn how to draw ray diagrams and to solve problems for concave and convex mirrors.

While a ray diagram may help one determine the approximate location and size of the image, it will not provide numerical information about image distance and image size. To obtain this, students are introduced to the Mirror Equation and...

Students explore three different ray diagrams for objects positioned at different locations along the principal axis in a convex mirror.

A tutorial which demonstrates how ray diagrams can be used to determine what portion of a plane mirror must be used in order to view an image.

Students discover how mirrors affect optics in this module through reading informational text, watching animations, and answering self-checking practice questions.

A reference page that explores how an image is formed in a concave mirror. Page includes a ray diagram that shows the geometrical lines of sight.
