Law of Reflection
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle at which it strikes the surface (angle of incidence) is equal to the angle at which it bounces off the surface (angle of reflection).
Key Concepts
- Angle of Incidence: The angle between the incoming ray of light and the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface) at the point of incidence.
- Angle of Reflection: The angle between the reflected ray of light and the normal at the point of reflection.
- Normal: A line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.
Study Guide
When studying the law of reflection, it's important to understand the following key points:
- Understand the concept of reflection and the behavior of light when it strikes a surface.
- Learn how to measure and calculate the angles of incidence and reflection.
- Explore real-world applications of the law of reflection, such as in mirrors, lenses, and other optical devices.
- Practice solving problems involving the law of reflection, including determining the direction of reflected light and understanding the properties of images formed by reflection.
By mastering these key concepts and practicing related problems, you can gain a strong understanding of the law of reflection and its applications in the field of optics.
Remember to always keep an eye on the angle of incidence and reflection!

Earth/Space Science: Students will use scientific skills and processes to explain the chemical and physical interactions (i.e., natural forces and cycles, transfer of energy) of the environment, Earth, and the universe that occur over time.
Earth History: Explain how sedimentary rock is formed periodically, embedding plant and animal remains and leaving a record of the sequence in which the plants and animals appeared and disappeared.
Explain how sedimentary rock buried deep enough may be reformed by pressure and heat and these reformed rock layers may be forced up again to become land surface and even mountains.
