Physics Interactives: Plane Mirror Image Formation
The Physics Interactives is our simulation section. Change a variable and observe a result. Learn by playing. If that sounds appealing, then check out this activity on Plane Mirror Images.

Minds On Physics, Reflection and Mirrors module, Mission RM
A Minds On Physics mission is an interactive questioning module that will make you read carefully, think deeply, and know your concepts. None of this is popular. All of it works. Give Mission RM2 a try in order to sharpen your understanding.

Tutorial on Reflection and the Ray Model of Light, Lesson 2
When you need to quickly review a topic and/or freshen up on a concept, the Tutorial section of our website is your go-to place. Our page on Characteristics of Plane Mirror Images complements this video lesson very well.

Teacher Resources

Curriculum Corner, Reflection and Mirrors
Our Curriculum Corner includes in excess of 200 Think Sheets on discrete topics. Each Think Sheet takes a developmental approach to a topic. The one on Image Formation and Characteristics would make a great in-class follow up for this video. Combine it with a MOP mission and you will have a great lesson.

Physics Interactives, Reflection and Refraction, Image Formation by Plane Mirrors
You must check out this 2-part combination tutorial/simulation on the topic of Plane Mirror Images. You'll be amazed at how powerfully it explains both the law of reflection and the formation of images. Use it in class. And check off student completion using our Star system.

Minds On Physics, Reflection and Mirrors Module, Mission RM2
Minds On Physics has always been a tool that trains students to read closely, think deeply, and reason conceptually. This mission on Plane Mirror Images will do all that and more. Give it a try.

Tutorial on Reflection and the Ray Model of Light, Lesson 2
When you need to quickly review a topic and/or freshen up on a concept, The Tutorial section of our website is your go-to place. Many teachers include these as links for students on their course management sites. This page is the written version of our video tutorial.
