Reflection In Plane Mirrors

Any smooth polished surface that can reflect the rays of light and form a clear image is called a mirror.
Reflection in plane mirrors. 1 2 for light rays striking a plane mirror the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. B find the angle of reflection. A light ray strikes a reflective plane surface at an angle of 56 with the surface. A plane mirror is a mirror with a flat reflective surface.
The angle of incidence i is equal to the angle of reflection r 2. The reflection from a plane flat mirror is shown in figure 1. Can you think of a plane reflecting surface. The mirror on the dressing table is a good example of a plane reflecting surface.
A find the angle of incidence. D find the angle made by the incident and reflected rays. Equal to the angle of reflection. Specular regular reflection is a mirror like reflection of rays of light.
The angle of incidence is. Hello friends check out our video on light reflection in a plane mirror i hope you enjoy this online lecture on light reflection in a plane mirror by letstute. Plane mirrors which include the common bathroom and hallway mirrors used daily produce a virtual image at the same magnification and distance as the object they reflect. A plane mirror is a flat mirror that reflects light and produces a virtual image without the interference of an inward or outward curve.
The incident ray reflected ray and the normal to the surface at the point of incidence all lie in the same plane. C find the angle made by the reflected ray and the surface. Thus this type of phenomena causes the formation of an image. The plane mirror images simulation blends an interactive tutorial with an interactive simulation.
Light reflection. When rays of light strike a flat mirror they are reflected and the exiting ray of light is reflected at the same angle as the angle of incidence. Image reflection by a plane mirror. 3 the angle of the incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the surface normal an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface.
The reflection of light from a plane mirror can be summarised by the following laws. Here the rays of light which are reflected from a smooth and shiny object such as a mirror are reflected at a definitive angle and each incident ray which is reflected along with the reflected ray has the same angle to the normal as the incident ray.
