Detailed Lesson Plan in Science 10
I. Learning Objectives:
Competency:
Predict the qualitative characteristics (orientation, type, and magnification) of images
formed by plane mirror.
Objectives:
1. Identify the relationship between the number of images formed and the angle between
two plane mirrors.
2. Derive a formula for determining the number of images formed when two mirrors are
kept at a certain angle.

A. Preliminary Activities
May all we stand for the prayer. Video
Good morning class! Good morning ma’am.
You may now take your seat. Thank you ma’am.
Let me take the attendance first. Make
sure that you are in your proper seats so (Check attendance using a seat plan)
that you will not be marked absent.
Very Good! Everybody is present.
B. Review of the past lesson
Do you still remember our lesson last
meeting?
What had we discussed? Yes Ma’am.
It is about images formed by plane
Yes. Exactly. mirror.
One of the properties of light is light

mirror.
Very good.
Let us recall the important terms in the
reflection of light.
Anybody who can recall the terms in May I answer ma’am?
the reflection of light?
Yes Shyne? The incident ray, reflected ray, and
normal line.
Very good Shyne. Now may I call Jelly The incident ray is the ray of light
Mae, what is meant by an incident ray approaching the mirror represented by
as shown in figure 1? an arrow approaching an optical
element like mirror as shown in figure
1.
Very good Jelly Mae.
How about the reflected ray, KC? The reflected ray is the ray of light
which leaves the mirror and is
represented by an arrow pointing away
Very good KC. from the mirror.
As you can see in figure 1, there is an
imaginary line that can be drawn
perpendicular to the surface of the
mirror at the point of incidence where
the ray strikes the mirror. What do you
call that imaginary line Mark Noland? The imaginary line is called the Normal
line.
Correct Mark Noland. Very good.

What do you call the angle between the incident

ray and the normal line, Raven?
Very good Raven.
How about the angle between the reflected ray
and the normal line, Angel Rose? It is the angle of reflection.
Very good Angel Rose.
We can say also that the angle of incidence is
equal to the angle of reflection since they have
the same measurement.
C. Motivation
So, this morning we will learn more about
reflection of light and we will be using two
plane mirrors.
We have a motto “Honesty is the best Policy”
Let’s try this activity if this motto can be
applied using the two plane mirrors. But before
performing the activity may I present to you a
PowerPoint to familiarize the different position
of the angles.
Identify what angle is this: 300, 450. 600, or 900.
Present a power point of different
angles.
In slide 1, what angle does it shows?
Very good. 30 degrees
In second slide
Very good. 45 degrees
In third slide
Very good. 60 degrees
In the fourth slide
Very good. 90 degrees

Since you are now familiar with the
positions of the angles, you are going to (Students perform the activity)

time using two plane mirrors. You will
explore how the angle between two
plane mirrors affects the number of
images formed. This activity is entitled:

May I request all groups to post your
work on the board and answer the (Somebody from other group will ask
following questions: the reporter)

Very good. Your answers are all
correct.
F. Discussion
You have seen a lot of coins in your
activity. Multiple images are formed by
the reflection that happens when
arranging at least two mirrors. Figure 1
shows three images of a 100 peso bill
in front of two mirrors at 90o. Does the
activity that you have performed using
two plane mirrors can be applied of the
motto “Honesty is the best policy”? No ma’am.
Yes, it cannot be applied to this motto
since it does not tell the truth.
The number of images, N, determined
using the formula N= (360/angle
between the two mirror) -1.
Parallel mirrors on the other hand
produce infinite number of images.
Figure 1. Multiple Images Formed by
Two Plane Mirrors at 90o.
G. Generalization:
Anybody who can state the relationship
between the number of images formed
and the angle between two plane
mirrors? As the angle formed by the two plane
mirrors decreases, the number of
images formed increases. Therefore,
there is an inversely proportional with
the images formed by two plane
mirrors.
Very good.
Since you are done be ready for an
evaluation. Do you have some None ma’am.
questions?
IV. Evaluation
Direction: On a one half (1/2) sheet of paper crosswise, answer the following questions.
1. What is reflection?
2. What is the relationship between the number of images formed and the angle between
two plane mirrors? (5 points)
3. Derive the formula for determining the number of images formed when two mirrors
are kept at a certain angle.
V. Assignment:
Construct a Bubble Map on the concepts you learned from this lesson.
