🔬 Part 1: Understanding Light Reflection

1. What happens when light hits a mirror? Circle the best answer:

The light disappears

The light bounces off the mirror

The light goes through the mirror

The light stops at the mirror

2. Fill in the blanks about the law of reflection:

The law of reflection states that the angle of _____________ equals the angle of _____________.

3. Match the scientific terms with their meanings:

1. Angle of incidence

2. Angle of reflection

3. Light ray

4. Mirror surface

A. The angle at which light bounces off

B. A straight line showing light's path

C. The angle at which light hits the mirror

D. The reflective material that bounces light

📏 Part 2: Recording Your Experiment

4. Draw a diagram of your experimental setup. Include the mirror, torch, and light path:

5. Record your angle measurements in the table below:

Trial 1: Angle of incidence: ______° | Angle of reflection: ______°

Trial 2: Angle of incidence: ______° | Angle of reflection: ______°

Trial 3: Angle of incidence: ______° | Angle of reflection: ______°

6. What pattern did you notice about the angles?

🤔 Part 3: Analysis and Understanding

7. Based on your observations, is the law of reflection correct? Explain your answer:

8. Check all the everyday examples where you can observe light reflection:

Bathroom mirror

Still water in a pond

Shiny car bonnet

Wooden table

Mobile phone screen

Concrete footpath

9. If you shine a torch at a mirror at a 30° angle, what angle will the light reflect at?

15°

30°

45°

60°

💭 Part 4: Reflection and Extension

10. Describe one challenge you faced during the experiment and how you solved it:

11. What do you think would happen if you used a curved mirror instead of a flat one?

12. Design a simple experiment using two mirrors. Draw your setup and predict what would happen to the light:

13. Complete this sentence: "Today I learned that light reflection..."
