Students will explain the laws of reflection.
Students read a handout with reverse writing using mirrors.
I. Students locate the image of a candle by means of parallax by placing a second candle behind the mirror and lining up the images. Using pins in front of a mirror, students construct the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal. Locating image position by using angles of reflection. Students construct rays of reflection by sighting the image of a pin from the left and right sides of the pin. They then draw lines along the rays of reflection extending them beyond the mirror line until they cross.
