Reflection of Light (Lab 17.1) 1. Using your observations from Table 1, what can you conclude about the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection? 2. How far behind a plane mirror is the image of an object in front of the mirror? 3. Using your observations from Table 2, compare the size and orientation of your constructed image with those of the object triangle. 4. Using your observations in this experiment, summarize the general characteristics of images formed by plane mirrors. 5. Why do your think the image formed by a plane mirror is called virtual rather than real? 6. When you used the thick plane mirror, which reflected spot of the laser beam was brightest? Give an explanation for the bright beam. 7. Explain the difference in patterns of the reflected laser beam from the thin and thick plane mirrors. Draw a diagram that demonstrates the pattern of laser light reflected from a thick plane mirror and your explanation for this result.
