Image formation by a plane mirror

Article no: P1101000

Principle

By using geometric optics virtual images after reflection can be observed. A geometrical construction of the observed virtual image can be used.

Benefits

minimal preparation time
light-intense halogen lamp
easy teaching by using the demo board for demonstration
ideal complement to analog student experiments by directly comparable devices

Tasks

Draw the paths of the rays. Complete the light paths in front of the mirrors and extend all reflected rays behind the mirrors and connect the thus determined virtual image points to form a complete image.
