GCSE Physics - Reflection #62

The video tutorial explains the concept of reflection, focusing on how waves interact with boundaries. It covers the three possible outcomes when a wave hits a boundary: absorption, transmission, and reflection. The tutorial emphasizes reflection, detailing how to draw ray diagrams and the principle that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. It also distinguishes between specular and diffuse reflection, explaining how surface texture affects the direction of reflected rays.

What are the three possible outcomes when a wave arrives at a boundary between two materials?

Describe how to draw a ray diagram for reflection.

What is the significance of the normal line in ray diagrams?

What is the difference between specular reflection and diffuse reflection?

How does the surface texture of a material affect the reflection of light?

Why can't we see our reflection in a piece of paper?
