Formation of an image point by a plane mirror

Principle

By applying the law of reflection, an image point can be determined with any two incident rays which pass through the object point.

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

Mark the incident and reflected rays on the magnetic optics. Extend the reflected rays behind the mirror to their intersection point.
