Can you copy please? Law of Reflection normal Angle of incidence Angle of reflection mirror angle of incidence = angle 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 THE LAW OF REFLECTION
Using mirrors • Two examples: 2) A car headlight 1) A periscope
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.
