Exp.1: Reflection on a plane mirror
Demonstration of the law of reflection. An
incident ray is projected to the mirror
surface under the angle α and reflected
under the same angle α’.


Exp.2: Virtual image in a plane mirror
Two rays of light are projected through
point O to a plane mirror. The extensions
of the reflected rays intersect in the image
point O’.


Exp.3: Focal length of a concave
mirror
The centre of curvature C of the concave
mirror is located by means of a ray which
reflects on itself. Rays parallel to the
principal axis intersect in the focal point F.
The distance of the centre of curvature C
is twice as long as the distance of the
focus F.
f = r/2
In case the rays are non-parallel to the
optical axis, the reflected rays intersect in
a point on an axis which is referred to as
the focal plane. The focal plane passes
through the focal point and is
perpendicular to the optical axis.
