Topics in Reflection of Light
Basic Concepts of Reflection
- Reflection is the return of light into the same medium after striking a surface
- We see objects because they reflect light which reaches our eyes
- Regular reflection occurs on smooth, polished surfaces like mirrors
Laws of Reflection
- First Law: Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection (∠i = ∠r)
- Second Law: Incident ray, reflected ray, and normal lie in the same plane
- These laws apply to all types of reflecting surfaces
Image Formation by Plane Mirror
- Images formed are virtual, erect, same size, and laterally inverted
- Image distance behind mirror equals object distance in front
- Virtual image cannot be obtained on screen but can be seen by eye
Multiple Images in Mirror Systems
- Two parallel mirrors produce infinite images
- Two perpendicular mirrors produce exactly 3 images
- For mirrors at angle θ: Number of images = (360°/θ) - 1 when n is even
