Reflection of Light
Students will study how light reflects off surfaces, focusing on the law of reflection and different types of mirrors.
Key Questions
- Analyze how the angle of incidence relates to the angle of reflection.
- Differentiate between specular and diffuse reflection using everyday examples.
- Design an experiment to demonstrate the formation of an image in a plane mirror.
