What to Focus On

  • Reflection means the return of light in the same medium after striking a surface.
  • Plane mirror gives regular reflection.
  • Rough surfaces give irregular or diffused reflection.
  • Incident ray strikes the surface.
  • Point of incidence is the point of striking.
  • Normal is perpendicular to the surface.
  • First law: i = r.
  • Second law: the incident ray, reflected ray, and normal lie in the same plane.
  • Both laws are followed by every reflected ray.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The angle of incidence is measured from the mirror surface.

A plane mirror forms a real image because the image is seen clearly.

The image in a plane mirror is inverted upside down like a real image.
