LIGHT : Reflection




 Material :
Light is one of the electromagnetic waves under certain conditions can behave like a particle and a wave. As a wave, light can propagate in a straight line, can be reflected, refracted, and experience the polarization and interference.
1. Reflection of Light
Properties of light waves that we see most often is the reflection of light.
In pictures :   a. Regular reflection is reflection of light that occurs on a flat surface. For example the mirror.
b. Diffuse reflectance is the reflectance of light that occurs on uneven surfaces. For example walls and wood.
2. Reflection the mirror on the flat
The statement, known as Snell's law of reflection of light (rays), are :
a. Rays come, the normal line, and the reflected rays lie in one plane.
b. Angle of incidence equal to angle reflection.
Flat mirror will produce regular reflection. Therefore, the image produced can be described by using the law of Snell's proposed light reflectance. The properties of the image produced by a plane mirror is virtual, erect and size as large.

To better understand, try to see the video as an image formation by plane mirror

If two plane mirrors arranged so that an angle α will be obtained a few shadows. Many of the images forming between the two mirrors can be expressed in the following equation.
Explanation:
n : many shadow forming
α : angle is flanked by two mirrors
3. Reflection on the concave mirror
Concave mirror is a mirror that has a reflective surface curved inward. Is convergent or concave mirror to collect light. Parts of the concave mirror:
Explanation :
a. P      : the center of curvature mirror
b. F      : the focus point
c. O     : center point of the mirror surface
d. OF   : focus distance, length is half  the radius of curvature of the mirror  ( f )
e. OP   : The main axis of the mirror
f. R1, R2, dan R3       : space in front of the mirror
g. R4                           : space behind the mirror

            The rays particular concave mirror :

a. Rays come parallel to the main axis is reflected through the focus point,
b. Rays coming through the focal point is reflected parallel to the main axis, and
c. Rays coming through the center of curvature of the mirror is reflected by rays as well.

The nature of shadow forming the concave mirror can also be determined in the following ways.
a.    If s' value (+) then the image is real and inverted, but if s' value (-) then the image is virtual and upright.
b. If M> 1 then the image is enlarged. If M = 1 then the image as large as the  object. If M <1 then the image is minimized.
4. Reflection on the convex mirror
Convex mirror is a mirror that has a curved reflective surface to the outside. Concave mirror is diverging or spreading of light.
Parts of the convex mirror

Explanation :
a. P      : the center of curvature mirror
b. F      : the focus point
c. O     : center point of the mirror surface
d. OF   : focus distance, length is half  the radius of curvature of the mirror ( f )
e. OP   :the main axis of the mirror
The rays particular convex mirror :

a.  Rays coming parallel to the main axis is reflected as if coming from the focal point.
b. Rays come into the focus point is reflected parallel to the main axis.
c.  Rays come into the center of curvature of the mirror will reflect light coming through.

The nature of images forming the convex mirror has a trait that is virtual, upright, and minimized.
The equation is valid for concave mirrors and convex mirrors are as follows:
  M =                                                       
Explanation:
f           : focusing mirror (cm atau m)
s0         : distance of objects in the mirror (cm atau m)
s1         : distance to the mirror image (cm atau m)
R          : the radius(cm atau m)
h1            : high shadow (cm atau m)
h0         : high objects (cm atau m)
M         : magnification
