OPTICS: Law of Reflection
Objectives:
Materials
Procedure:
1. Set up the equipment as shown in Figure. Adjust the light source, so a single ray
of light is pointing the middle portion of the base of the triangle. Label it as 0 0, using
a protractor, measure the angle of reflection of the light source.
2. Rotate the prism (see table below for different angles) and measure the angle of
reflection.

1. Part of the law of reflection states that the incident ray, normal, and the reflected
ray all lie in the same plane. Discuss how this is demonstrated on the activity
3. A ray of light is reflected by two parallel mirrors (1) and (2) at points A and B. The
ray makes an angle of 25° with the axis of the two mirrors.
