Reflection and Refraction of Light: Law Of Reflection

The video tutorial explains the concept of light reflection, focusing on how light rays bounce off surfaces like mirrors. It introduces key terms such as incident ray, reflected ray, and normal. The law of reflection is discussed, stating that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. A practical example with a candle and mirror illustrates these concepts, emphasizing that the incident ray, normal, and reflected ray lie on the same plane.

What is the phenomenon called when light rays bounce off a mirror?

What are the names given to the ray approaching the mirror and the ray bouncing off?

What is the role of the normal line in the context of reflection?

How is the angle of incidence related to the angle of reflection according to the law of reflection?

Describe what happens to light rays when they strike a plain mirror.
