Aim: To investigate how light behaves when it hits a plane (flat) mirror
Method:
- Collect a ray box, power supply and single-slit ray slide from your teacher, and set them up to produce a single beam of light.
- Place a plane mirror on the diagram of the protractor as described below.
- Vary the angle of incidence and record the angle of reflection in the results table.
Findings: The angle of incidence is the same as the angle of reflection.
