Lab Report 10 1 Section 10: Angle of Reflection Sydney Marquez University of Texas at El PasoLab Report 10 2 Introduction During this lab were going to see how light rays behave when they reflect from a plane mirror (Pivot 10). We will be measuring two specific angles, the angle of incidence and angle of reflection. These angles help us describe reflecting light. Materials and Setup ● Pivot Interactions ● Protractor ● Laser ● Mirror ● Bicycle wheel ● Spray fog To set up this experiment a bicycle tired was place on a plank of wood and a mirror. The laser was attached to the tire and was turned on and shines on the mirror. Spay fog is kept on hand to use when ready. Procedure After the experiment was set up the laser was turned on. The spray fog was then sprayed and the bicycle wheel was turned. Once the wheel was spinning the protractor was centered in the bike and the spray fog was sprayed. The angles of incidence and reflection were recorded for the duration of the video.Lab Report 10 3 Data and Data analysis Figure 1 Angle of Incidence vs Angle of Reflection Figure 1 shows us the angle of incidence vs angle of reflection for the laserz reflecting on the mirror. It is a linear graph and straight and directly proportional. The slope of this graph would be 1. Conclusion The relationship between angle of incidence and angle of reflection. The angles are directly related to each other, this means that if one of them increased by 5 degrees the other angle would also increase by 5 degrees. This abides by the law of reflection. The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the incidence angle and the reflection angle are equal to eachother. In this experiment the surface was a mirror.Lab Report 10 4 Personal Learning Experience From this lab, I was able to understand the relationship between these two eagles and how i can apply it in real life. For example if I am looking at objects in the mirror and light reflects off of it I know that the angles of both reflection and incidence will be equal.Lab Report 10 5 References Interactives, P., & Marquez, S.
