3.16

3.16: construct ray diagrams to illustrate the formation of a virtual image in a plane mirror

Task

For plane mirrors, the image is…
·         The same size as the object
·         The same distance as the object from the mirror
·         virtual (not real)
·         upright
·         lateral Inverted

3.15: Angle of incidence

Recall that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
