Plane Mirrors: The Flat Mirrors

Plane Mirrors

•Incident ray hits the mirror

•Reflected ray is the ray that bounces off

•The Normal is the perpendicular line from mirror

3 Laws of Reflection

i = r di to mirror = do to mirror Apparent path

of light = Actual path of light

Draw the Reflected Ray

54° 54°

1. Draw the normal

2. Measure the incident angle

3. Draw the reflected ray

• To find an image: extend the reflected ray behind the mirror.

• The image is formed where the rays intersect.
