The purpose of this phase is to grab students' attention and set the context for the lesson by illustrating the significance of plane mirrors in daily life and technology. By providing engaging background information and interesting trivia, we aim to intrigue students and prepare them for the theoretical concepts that will follow.

Tahukah kamu?

Did you know that plane mirrors date back to around 6000 B.C. in Ancient Egypt? They were crafted from polished materials like obsidian. Nowadays, we manufacture mirrors with a thin layer of metal, often aluminum or silver, layered on glass. Additionally, plane mirrors are commonly used in technology, from telescopes to satellites, underscoring the importance of this seemingly simple object in our daily lives.

Kontekstualisasi

Begin the lesson by explaining to students that plane mirrors are reflective surfaces that create virtual, upright, and similarly sized images of objects. The image produced by a plane mirror is essentially a mirror reflection of the object but has a lateral inversion, meaning the left and right sides are flipped. This fundamental concept in physics has numerous everyday applications, including bathroom mirrors, car rearview mirrors, and various optical devices.

This section aims to deepen students' understanding of plane mirrors and image formation, focusing on how mirror movement impacts image speed. Through thorough explanations and practical illustrations, students will learn to calculate the speed of image propagation across various scenarios.

Topik Relevan

1. Concept of Plane Mirror: Explain that a plane mirror is a reflective surface that forms virtual, upright images that are the same size as the object, with a lateral inversion (left and right are flipped).

2. Image Formation in Plane Mirrors: Describe the process by which images are formed in a plane mirror, showing that the image is located at a distance equal to that of the object from the mirror but on the opposite side.

3. Mirror Movement and Image Speed: Discuss the relationship between mirror movement and the speed of image propagation. When the mirror moves, the image moves at double that speed.

4. Calculation of Image Propagation Speed: Explain how to calculate the speed of the image when the mirror moves toward or away from an object at speed v, using the formula: v_image = 2 * v_mirror.

5. Practical Examples: Provide real-world examples with varying mirror speeds to demonstrate how to determine the speed of an image. Use step-by-step solved problems to ensure clarity.

1. If a plane mirror is moving to the right at a speed of 3 m/s, what will be the speed of the image created by the mirror?

2. A plane mirror is moving away from an object at a speed of 2 m/s. Calculate the speed of the image coming off the mirror.

3. If an object is stationary and the plane mirror moves to the left at a speed of 4 m/s, what will be the speed of the image in relation to the object?

1. 🔍 Discussion of the Questions: 2. If a plane mirror moves to the right at a speed of 3 m/s, what will be the speed of the image created by the mirror? 3. - When the mirror shifts to the right at 3 m/s, the image will follow suit at double that speed. Thus, the image will move at 6 m/s to the right. 4. A plane mirror moves away from an object at a speed of 2 m/s. Calculate the speed of image propagation. 5. - If the mirror is moving away from the object at 2 m/s, the image will also move away, but at double that speed. Consequently, the image's speed will be 4 m/s in the opposite direction. 6. If an object remains still while the plane mirror shifts left at 4 m/s, what will be the speed of the image with respect to the object? 7. - In this case, if the mirror moves left at 4 m/s, the image will also move left at double that speed, resulting in an image speed of 8 m/s relative to the object.

1. 💡 Questions and Reflections to Engage Students: 2. If a plane mirror moves upwards at a speed of 5 m/s, what will be the speed of the image formed? 3. How would the image speed be affected if both the object and the mirror move in the same direction at different velocities? 4. If a plane mirror moves to the right and the object moves to the left, how can we calculate the image's relative speed concerning the object? 5. Why is it crucial to understand image propagation speed in practical situations, such as in telescopes and rearview mirrors?
