12.2 A student drew this diagram to show how a ray of light is refl ected by a fl at mirror.
Make a copy of the diagram.
a On your copy of the diagram draw the refl ected ray. Label the mirror, the
incident ray and the refl ected ray. [1]
b Draw the normal to the surface of the mirror at the point where the ray
is refl ected. Label the normal. [1]
c Mark the angle of incidence and the angle of refl ection. Label them
I and R. [2]
d Calculate the value of the angle of incidence. [1]
e Use the law of refl ection to determine the value of the angle of refl ection. [1]
