Physics classroom interactive plane mirrors. Teacher Toolkit - Plane Mirrors Objectives: To describe the law of reflection and to use the law to predict how light approaching a mirror at a given angle will reflect from the mirror surface. Understand the law of reflection by plane mirrors and the formation of virtual images using our interactive simulation. To explain the distinction between diffuse and specular reflection and to identify and describe several applications of each. Observe how the image changes when you adjust the focal length of the lens, move the object, or move the screen. Several examples are discussed. The learner is presented with the position of five students (Allan, Bill, Callie, Del and Ellie) and a plane mirror and challenged to identify which student (s) Allan (or Bill or Callie ) can see in the mirror. The video lesson answers the following questions: What are the characteristics of the images formed by plane (flat) mirrors?. Written by teachers for teachers and students, The Physics Classroom provides a wealth of resources that meets the varied needs of both students and teachers. Explore geometric optics with interactive simulations to understand lenses, mirrors, light rays, and image formation techniques. Students can vary the angle of the incline and the coefficients of static and kinetic friction. jqlydsktjwhirmlsvnrnyweupreeidyfvvvtdjvmeuspmbldyzubxjrulihmk
