7. Physics Talk What are mirrors used for? To look at your pretty face! Auto safety Telescopes Cameras CD players Other technology Disco Balls

8. Physics Talk What happens when a light ray hits a mirror? The angle of incidence=angle of reflection Ray that strikes the surface=incident ray Ray that is reflects off the surface=reflected ray

9. Physics Talk Normal line is perpendicular to the mirror Angle of incidence is between the incident ray and the normal line Angle of reflection is between the normal line and the reflected ray

10. Physics Talk What is the Law of Reflection? Angle of incidence=angle of reflection!!!

11. Physics Talk What happens to the light rays? They are reflected off at the same angle they entered If you extend the reflected rays, where they intersect is where the image appears behind the mirror The distance from your nose to the mirror is the same as the distance from the mirror to the image in the mirror

12. Physics Talk Sample problemsDraw in your notebook: –If the angle of incidence is 40°, what is the angle of reflection? Also draw where the image is located –If the angle of incidence increases to 50°, what is the angle of reflection? Also draw where the image is located

13. Physics Talk Light as waves? Light is a wave and has properties similar to sound waves Light waves are transverse waves (motion is perpendicular to the direction of the wave) Light doesn’t need a medium to travel Also carry energy (feel warm)

14. Vocab Boxes-Due Tuesday 2/15 Angle of incidence Angle of reflection Incident ray Reflected ray Normal Law of reflection
