II. Pupose

In this experiment, you will study how rays are refiected from different types of
mirrors. You will measure the focal length and determine the radius of curvature of a
coucave mirror and a couver mirror.

III. Other Required Equipment

Protactor

Metric ruler

White paper

IV. Basic Theory

According to newton's light cousists of ting particles of very small light emitted by
the source in all directions at very high speeds. Where as according to huggens, light
is like sound waves. The difference between the two is only in frequency and
wavelength. On afiat surface,reflected light will form a regular pattern. The incoming
rays will be reflected in a parallel shape as will (giancoli, 2001).
Light is one from of electromagnetic waves that have a dual nature. On one hand light
is a wave, but ou the other hand as a wave is that it can reflection. Where as one of the
properties of light as a particle is that light can experience collision events like a
marble crashing into another marble (Herman,2015).
In a convex mirror if the mirror surface has a curvature R, then the light coming from
outside and paraliel to the mirror's axis is a reflected as if it came from the mirror's
focus incoming light directed towards the center of the mirror's is reflected through
the same path as when the beam came. The convox mirror's focus is always behind
the mirror's surface and emits light falling on the mirror, so the focal length is stated :
R
F=
2

Convex mirror is emitting light. This convex mirror always behind the mirror buy in
frout of the focus. Parallel and smaller than the object. The location of the shadow
which is always behind the mirror but located in front of the focal point causes at any
distanee objects always provide shadows that canbe seen by the eye (Jati,2010).

Light reflection not only happens when light falls on an impervious medium when it
falls on a transparent medium. Some light is reflected. Through that leads to the
shortest amount of travel time and that trajectory provides the same angle of coming
in and angle of bounce (Mikrajudin,2017)
 (According to sutrisno,1979), the angle of hias depends on the speed of light of both
media and on the angle of incidence. Anatytical relations (1) and (2) were discovered
experimentally around 1621 by willerbrord smell. This relationship is known as
shell's law and is writters.

V. Procedure plane mirror

1. Place the light source in ray box mode on a blank sheet of white paper. Turn the
wheel to select a single ray.
2. Place the mirror on the paper position the plane (flat) surface of the mirror in the path
of the incident ray at angle that allows you to clearing see the incident and reflected
rays.
3. On the paper, trace and label the surface of the plane mirror and the incident and
reflected rays. Indicate the incoming and the outgoing rays with arrows in the
appropriate directious.
4. Remove the light source and source and mirror from the paper. On the paper,draw the
normal to the normal to the surface.
5. Measure the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection. Measure these angles from
the normal. Record the angles in the first row table 3-1.
6. Repeat the steps 1-5 with a different angle of incidence. Repeat the procedure again to
complete table 3-1 with three different angles of incidence.
7. Turn the wheel on the light source to select the three primary color rays. Shine the
colored rays at an angle to the plane mirror. Mark the position of the surface of the
plane mirror and trace the incident and reflected rays. Indicate the colors of the
incoming and the outgoing rays and mark them with arrows in the appropriate
directions

Angle Of Incidence Angle Of Reflection

Procedure Cylindrical Mirror

1. Turn the wheel on the light source to select five parallel rays. Shine the rays straight
into the concave mirror so that the light is reflected back toward the ray box (see
figure 3-3). Trace the surface of the mirror and the incident and reflected rays.
Indicate the coming and the outgoing rays with arrows in the appropriate divectious
(you can now remove the light source and mirror from the paper).
2. The place where the five reflected rays cross each other is the focal point of the
mirror. Mark the focal point.
 3. Measure the focal length from the center of the concave mirror surface (where the
middle rayhit the mirror) to the focal point) Record the result in table 3.2.
4. Use a compass to draw a circle that matches the curvature of the mirror (you will have
to make severaltries with the compass set to different with this before you find the
right one) Measure the radius of curvature and record it in table 3.2
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the convex mirror. Note that in step 3. The reflected rays will
diverge and they will not closs. Use a ruller to extend the reflected rays back behind
the mirror's surface. The focal point is where these extended rays cross.

VIII. Discussion

In the 6th practicum, which is about reflection light, the data from a reflection on a
concave mirror and convex mirror are searched and processed, and also the focus
points found in the reflected light from a concarve mirror with each focus point are
4.9cm and the length of the radius on the concave mirror is 96cm and the concave
mirror is valvable and for a convex mirror is worth 7cm with a radius of 14cm. Or the
radius because as said law of reflection on a flat mirror that applies θi = with the angle
of incidence is the same as the angle of exit or reflection and for a falt mirror. For the
total reflected flat mirror is four data. For a flat mirror is the angle arrival is the same
as the reflected angle is different from a flat mirror, concave mirror has its own
reflecting force reflected light in a concave mirror has a focal point parallel to the
main axis of the mirror that is reflected back from the ceuter point of curvature
through the focal point and back to the point ceuter that is in the arch. For concave
mirror measurments the image of the incoming ray is then reflected in the third
experiment using a convex mirror this convex mirror has a focal point which is
located behind the mirror and has a diffused and irregular reflective rays and in
practice the results obtained are focal length and concave mirror and convex mirror.
Reflection of light is found in everyday life without us knowing it like in the rearview
mirror of a car or motor cycle that functions to see the situation behind or in the
direction of the mirror surface and vice versa something behind can see something in
front because the light is reflected.
IX. Conclusions and Recommendation
1. Light reflected from different types of mirrors will produce different reflections.
In concave mirrors, reflected light will be collected and intersect,while in convex
mirrors reflected light will be diffused and not intersect. In a flat mirror, the angle
of light reflected (incident ray) is the same as the reflected light (the reflection)
and the distance of the object in the mirror.
2. In the practicum the concave mirror's focal length was found (i) 4,9cm and the
radius of curvature (R) = 9,8cm. The focal length of the convex mirror's (F) is
7cm and the radius of curvature (R) is 14cm. Based on these data it is concluded
that the focal length is the distance between the focus point and the mirror surface,
while the radius of curvature is a product of two focal lengths.

Recommendation

In carrying out the practicum about reflection of light should be done in a dark place
so that the reflection of light on the mirror can be seen clearing.
