Reflection Of Light In Two Plane Mirrors

The process of sending back the light waves after falling on the surface of an object is called a reflection of light.

Reflection of light in two plane mirrors.

At the microscopic scale the law of reflection is obeyed but the surface is irregular which means the incident rays of light are reflected in many directions and the information contained in the in the light does not reach the eye in the correct order. Light from the object is reflected through 90 by each mirror before entering the eye of an observer. It is made up of two plane mirrors mounted in a long tube. Reflection and refraction are the two main aspects of geometric optics.

However we do see any reflections as with a plane mirror. When light strikes a perfectly reflecting surface such a mirror for example all the light energy is reflected. Through this experiment you will learn about the reflection from a plane mirror. The principal followed in this device is reflection of light between two mirrors which are parallel to each other.

Light from object incidence on the mirror and reflected to the mirror which is parallel to earlier mirror. It is an optical device. To watch all subjects full videos click here. The reflection of an object over a plane mirror forms images at many different places.

Students experiment with reflections of two plane mirrors placed at different angles. Reflection of light rays on a reflecting surface. In this video i will find the final reflected light reflecting off an acute plane mirror. A mirror image is the result of light rays bounding off a reflective surface.

Light has two important properties viz. When a light ray strikes a surface separating two media with different optical properties part of the light energy is reflected back to the media where it coming from. Some surfaces seem quite smooth. For example a sheet of paper.
