Quick Answer: The Reflection of Light Apparatus demonstrates how light reflects from a mirror or reflecting surface, letting students trace incident and reflected rays and check that the angles of incidence and reflection are equal.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
Shows reflection of a light ray from a reflecting surface
Identifies the incident ray, reflected ray, point of incidence and normal
Shows that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection
Qualitative demonstration of reflection of light
About This Product
The mirror or reflecting surface is set in position and a light ray is directed at it at a chosen angle. Students mark the incident ray, reflected ray and normal, measure both angles and compare them with the theoretical ray diagram. It supports lessons on ray diagrams, mirror reflection and image formation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. From where are the angles measured? Both the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are measured from the normal line at the point of incidence.
