Mirror/Reflection and Refracting
Definitions
Refracting = bending
incident ray = incoming ray
reflected ray = the ray bouncing of the object from the incident ray.
Reflective Ray = ray of light that is bouncing off of mirror
normal line = the line that separates the reflected and incident ray at a perpendicular angle
Incident angle = the angle that is in between the normal and the incident ray
focal point = the point at which all of the light meet
principal access = the line that is in the middle of all the rays of light.
Reminders
The incident angle and the reflective angle are equal in degrees
light passes through glass and water but not a mirror
OUR WORK
Flat Mirror Rules:
Line from the object point to the image point crosses mirror plan at a right angle
images in flat mirrors are flipped front to back but not side to side
object distance = image distance
incident angle= reflected angle
Diagrams
light rays are refracted towards the focal point on the principle axis
light is reflected AND refracted
