Law of Reflection

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Law of Reflection interactive also includes:
  • About Concept Builders
  • The Law of Reflection
  • The Law of Reflection: Teacher Notes
  • The Law of Reflection: Questions
  • Join to access all included materials

Reflection seems simple to understand, but without a complete understanding, pupils struggle with ray diagrams, specular versus diffuse reflection, total internal reflection, and image formation. An engaging interactive provides three levels of practice demonstrating mastery of the Law of Reflection. Immediate feedback, additional explanations, and progressive mastery increase participant confidence.
