Plastic Mirror

Product Code : LSK-LAO-11149

Plastic Mirror (SKU LSK-LAO-11149) is a flat plastic mirror, 200 mm long and 250 mm wide, that gives young students a simple way to see the principles of reflection. It is durable enough for everyday class use and suits mirror writing, home-made periscopes and other reflection activities in primary and secondary science. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the mirror at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India; schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors buy it from the company without an agent.

Specifications

The table gives each specification of the 200 x 250 mm plastic mirror. In short, it is a durable flat reflecting sheet of plastic, 8 inches long by 10 inches wide, intended for young students and large enough for a small group to watch reflections, write in mirror image or build a simple periscope.

Applications and Experiments for the Plastic Mirror

The mirror supports the first reflection lessons in school science: pupils see that the image is upright, the same size and laterally inverted, write words that read correctly only in the mirror and combine two mirrors to look over a wall. As school physics lab equipment in India it also serves symmetry work in mathematics.

• NCERT Class 6–7 light chapters: lateral inversion and mirror writing with a flat mirror.
• Class 7–8 activities: building a simple periscope from two mirrors and a tube.
• Class 10: plane-mirror image location with Optics Experiment Parallax Pin needles, comparing object and image distances.
• Ray work: checking that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection with a beam from a Rectangular Optical Light Box.

Clean the reflecting face with a soft, dry cloth to avoid scratches, and store the mirror flat.

Standard Scope of Supply

The Plastic Mirror is supplied as a single unit as described above: one flat plastic mirror measuring 200 mm by 250 mm. Class quantities can be quoted together, and pins, light boxes or periscope parts needed for particular experiments are listed separately on the quotation.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

A quotation is possible for a single mirror or for a set that gives each pupil or pair their own. Science Lab Supplies puts the packing, delivery time and price for the chosen quantity on every quotation, and other reflection apparatus can be grouped on it.

Science Lab Supplies is registered as an exporter under an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria. For a price on mirrors in any number, message us on the contact page or add them to the enquiry cart; institutional bids are handled via the lab tender page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the Plastic Mirror?
It measures 200 mm (8 inch) long by 250 mm (10 inch) wide. That size is large enough for mirror writing on a sheet of paper and for small groups to watch the same reflection together.

Why use a plastic mirror rather than glass?
A plastic mirror is durable and avoids the sharp edges of broken glass, which makes it a sensible choice for young students who handle the mirror themselves during class activities and group work.

Can it be used to make a periscope?
Yes. Mirror writing, periscopes and similar reflection experiments are the intended uses. Two mirrors set parallel at 45 degrees in a tube or box let pupils see over an obstacle, as in the ready-made Wooden Periscope.

Are these mirrors manufactured by Science Lab Supplies?
They are. Science Lab Supplies makes the plastic mirrors in its Saha, Ambala factory in India, and orders are priced and dispatched by the company itself rather than by a third-party dealer.
