Light - Reflection and Refraction 2 marks Medium
Redraw the following diagram on your answer-sheet and show the path of the reflected ray. Also mark the angle of incidence () and the angle of reflection () on the diagram.
C F P

Answer

The reflected ray passes through ; the normal joins the point of incidence to , and .

The mirror is concave (its hatching, on the right, marks the back). Draw the reflected ray from the point where the incident ray meets the mirror through the principal focus F, and continue it beyond F. Join the point of incidence to C: this radius is the normal to the mirror there. The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal, and the angle of reflection is the angle between the normal and the reflected ray, with .
