PEKA SET 1

FORM 2 2009

1. Title : Understanding light and sight.

2. Aim : To study the reflection of light by a plane mirror.
3. Variables : i) manipulated :________________________________
ii) responding :________________________________
iii) fixed / constant :______________________________
4. Apparatus / materials
5. Procedure: In passive form

6. Observation:
• Observation :
1. What happen to light when it strikes a plane mirror?
2. Is the angle of incidence same as angle of reflection?
3. Is the law of reflection followed?

• measuring and using numbers ( table of angles )

• communicating ( diagrams of activity )
7. Discussion and analysis : Answer the question given.
Based on experimental data:
1. State the law of reflection
a) ___________________________________
b) ___________________________________

2. What are the surface conditions for the law of reflection to be followed?

3. If light strikes a plane mirror at an angle of incidence of 45º,

predict the angle of reflection.

4. Draw the reflected rays on the smooth surface in the diagram below.
 Smooth surface

8. Conclusion:
State the relationship between the manipulated variable and the responding variable.
