8 TH Class Physics: Light

The document discusses the reflection of light from plane mirrors. It provides definitions and questions about key concepts in reflection, including: 1) How to draw and label a diagram showing the reflection of light from a plane mirror, including the incident ray, reflected ray, point of incidence, normal, angle of incidence, and angle of reflection. 2) That there is only one reflected ray for a given incident ray. 3) The laws of reflection state that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. 4) Questions test the application of these definitions and laws to examples involving the reflection of light rays off mirrors.

8 TH CLASS PHYSICS

LIGHT

1. Draw a diagram to show the reflection of light from a plane mirror. Label the
following on the diagram:
(a) Plane mirror (b) Incident ray (c) Reflected ray

(d) Point of incidence (e) Normal (f) Angle of incidence (e) Angle of reflection.

2. How many reflected rays can there be for a given single incident ray falling on a
plane mirror?

3. State the Laws of Reflection of Light.

4. An incident ray makes an angle of 750 with the surface of a plane mirror. What
will be the angle of reflection?

5 A ray of light is incident normally {perpendicularly} on a plane mirror. Where


will this ray of light go after reflection from the mirror ?

6 What is the difference between regular reflection and diffuse reflection of light ?

7 State whether the following statement is true or false :


Diffuse reflection means the failure of the laws of reflection of light.

8 Draw a labeled diagram showing how a plane mirror forms an image of a point
object placed in front of it.

9 If an object is placed at a distance of 7.5 cm from a plane mirror, how far would it
be from its image ?

10 You see your image in a plane mirror? State two characteristics of the image so
formed.
