Bouncing light

Aim
1. To investigate how light behaves when it hits a plane/flat mirror.

Method
1. 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.

2. Place a plane mirror on the diagram of the protractor as described below.

3. 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.
