PROCEDURE:

1. Let the mirror stand


vertically along the edge
of the paper protractor.
2. Position the laser beam
such that it hits the
mirror at an angle of 10
with the normal line.
Measure the angle
between the reflected ray
and the normal line.
3. Make three trials and get
the average.
4. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for
angles 20, 30, 40, 50.
MATERIALS:
1 Plane Mirror
1 low-frequency laser
1 paper protractor
Make a diagram on
the reflection of a light
ray on a plane mirror.
- Normal line
Label the ff.
- Incident ray
- Reflected ray
- Angle of incident
- Angle of reflection
How does the angle
of incidence compare
with the angle of
reflection?
