OBJECTIVES 1) Trace light rays as they reflect from a plane mirror.
2) Draw conclusions about the law of reflection. 3) Identify angle of incident and angle of reflection. 4) State the laws of reflection of light.
2
Using ray boxes
3
Reflection Draw around the mirror

Reflection normal Angle of incidence
8
Reflection normal Angle of incidence
9
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
Normal Incident ray Reflected ray Angle of incidence Angle of reflection Mirror
10
Law of Reflection angle of incidence = angle of reflection
Can you copy please? normal Angle of incidence Angle of reflection mirror angle of incidence = angle of reflection
11
Angle of incidence = angle of reflection
12
THE LAW OF REFLECTION The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The image in a plane mirror is virtual and is the same size as the object. Plane mirrors are used in periscopes. They are used in rear view mirrors. The image is as far behind the mirror is as the object is in front. Image is laterally inverted
13
Using mirrors Two examples: 2) A car headlight 1) A periscope
14
PERISCOPES
17
Shiny smooth surfaces reflect regularly, other surfaces also reflect light but if the surface is rough the light is reflected in all directions. We call this diffuse reflection.
