Goal • To review the concepts from Section 10.2.

1. a. What is the measure of the angle of incidence of an incident ray that is normal to a mirror?
________________________________________________________________________________
b. What is the measure of the angle of reflection for this ray?
________________________________________________________________________________
c. Is there any other angle of incidence for which the incident ray and the reflected ray will coincide?
________________________________________________________________________________

2. List all of the possible characteristics of an image:

a. Location: The distance from the mirror can be _______________ than, _______________ than, or
the _______________ as the distance from the object to the mirror.

c. Size: The image can be _______________ than, _______________ than, or the _______________
size as the object.
d. Type: The image can be either ____________________ or ____________________.
