Investigating the reflection of light using a plane mirror.

Method

Reflection Experiment Method

In this experiment, a light ray is directed at a plane mirror at various angles. The angles of incidence and reflection are measured using a protractor.

Angle of Incidence (degrees)Angle of Reflection (degrees)
3030
4545
6060
  1. a

    State the independent variable in this experiment.

    Aim for approximately 1 distinct marking point.
