mirrors

• bouncing off of light rays when it hits a flat surface like a plane mirror

  Reflection
• formed in front of the mirror and is always upside down relative to the object.

  Real images
• formed behind the mirror and upright relative to the object and cannot be projected on the screen

  Virtual Image
• Erect, laterally, inverted, virtual and same size of the object

  Plane Mirror
• Reflection from very smooth surface

  Regular (specular) reflection
• Reflection from relatively rough surface

  irregular (diffuse) reflection
• Law of reflection


  The angle of refraction, is equal to the angle of incidence
