Quick Answer: The Reflection of Light Kit is an optics kit for showing that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection when a light ray strikes a plane mirror.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Verifies the law of reflection with observable ray paths.
Explains incident ray, reflected ray, normal line and mirror position.
Angles are measured with a protractor using classroom geometry methods.
Supports plane mirror experiments and ray diagrams.
About This Product
The plane mirror is placed on its marked line or holder, and a narrow light ray is directed at it at a chosen angle. Students mark the incident ray, reflected ray and normal, measure both angles with a protractor and repeat at different incident angles to compare the readings. The kit is used under teacher supervision, and laser or bright light sources are never shone into anyone's eyes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is the law of reflection checked with the kit? Mark the incident ray, reflected ray and normal line, measure the angle of incidence and angle of reflection with a protractor, and repeat for several incident angles to compare.
