Principle

The law of reflection is valid for the reflection of light: The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are equal a. = a.' The incident beam, reflected beam, and normal are in the same plane. The light path can be reversed in reflection.

 

Benefits

  • minimal preparation time
  • light-intense halogen lamp
  • easy teaching by using the demo board for demonstration
  • ideal complement to analog student experiments by directly comparable devices

 

Tasks

Vary the angle of incidence; record the angles of incidence and their respective angles of reflection in a table. Observe the light of incoming and the reflected light.
