Exam points

  • Draw a reflected ray so the angle of reflection matches the angle of incidence.
  • Measure the angle of incidence from the normal on light or water-wave diagrams.

3.15 Law of reflection question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

A student does an investigation to determine the refractive index of a block made from flint glass.

She directs a ray of red light at the block, as shown in diagram 1.

Diagram 1

Diagram 1

Some of the light is reflected from the surface of the block at point A . On diagram 1, draw this reflected ray of light.
