Practice with Protractors

Use with textbook pages 230-2115.

If you are asked to draw light rays in models,

it is important to draw the lines accurately.
For this reason, you will need to use a
protractor properly.
• Position the protractor carefully. X --:,r------tt.:----- y

• The baseline (XY) lines up with the This (X, Y) is the baseline. This (Al is the centre point.
starting arm of the angle. This is the edge, not the baseline. This is not the centre point.

• The protractor's centre point (A) must match the vertex (corner) of the angle.
• Look straight down on the scale to get an accurate reading of the number of degrees.

1. Use a protractor to measure, in degrees, each of the angles shown below.

This is plane because there aren't any light distortions Convex so that it can relfect more

Concave so that it has a wider angle of relfection Plane so you can see clearly

Concave so that you have a wider angle Convex so the beam is more focused

Concave so that it have a larger reflecting angle Plane so that you can see more clearly
