Activity 7 Lab | Demonstration of Reflection of Light


The Law of Reflection states that "when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection."

      We can see different things because of the reflection of light. The highlighter showed in the picture above is an example of a nonluminous object. Nonluminous objects are dependent on luminous objects or the source of light. We cannot see them if there is no source of light such as the sun, bulbs, and other objects that emits light by itself. Reflection of light refers to the change in direction of light or bouncing of light from some surface. The light coming from the source strikes the object and bounces off from its surface. When the light reaches our eyes that's when we see the image. 

Mirror Reflection

    When a ray of light falls on any object (polished, smooth, shiny object), light from the object bounces back those rays of light to our eyes, and this phenomenon is known as “Reflection” or “Reflection of Light”. A mirror is a shiny, polished object (glass) which reflects most of the rays of light falling upon it.
