Plane Mirrors

The Plane Mirrors Toolkit provides teachers with standards-based resources for designing lesson plans and units that pertain to such topics as reflection of light by plane mirrors, formation of images by plane mirrors, characteristics of images formed by planes mirrors, and the analysis of situations involving multiple plane mirrors (e.g., parallel mirrors, right-angle mirrors; adjustable angle mirrors). The Toolkit is supported by Lessons 1 and 2 of the Reflection and the Ray Model of Light chapter at The Physics Classroom Tutorial.


Each toolkit can be viewed in three different ways.

  3. Plane Mirrors - Toolkit To Go

    The Toolkit To Go is a 2-page PDF document that provides an abbreviated version of the complete toolkit. It contains as much information as could fit on two pages. Toolkits to Go can be photo-copied back-to-back, hole-punched, and filed in a teacher's folder or three-ring binder for future reference.
