The Physics Classroom: Reflection and Mirrors: Name That Image Interactive

Try these vector addition challenges where twenty-five vectors are displayed on a grid. Each challenge involves adding three of the vectors together to determine the resultant. The emphasis of the activity is on component addition.

Explore the connection of light, reflection, and mirrors. A comprehensive lesson introduces the basics of light in relation to reflection and mirrors. After an explanation of the vocabulary, the presentation shows how to create ray...

Find out about the physics behind those fun-house mirrors. Students manipulate a virtual optics bench to explore the images formed by mirrors and lenses.

Through an illustrated tutorial and some interactive practice problems, students learn about the law of reflection of light.

A four-lesson tutorial on the reflection and the ray model of light. These complete tutorials include informational text, interactive activities, animations, and quick, interactive comprehension questions.

In this physics tutorial, students investigate the method for drawing ray diagrams for objects placed at various locations in front of a concave mirror.

Through investigation, discover the fundamental principle used to explain who can see who in a plane mirror, and why this happens.

Discover how light reacts when it strikes mirrors which are placed at right angles to each other.

This illustrated physics tutorial serves as a step-by-step guide to drawing ray diagrams. It includes an opportunity for students to practice and check their answers.

Through illustrated examples and interactive practice problems, students learn about real and virtual images.
