HS, Physics Std 33: Demonstrate an understanding of reflection.

Lesson Plans: Reflection and Its Importance - The Role of Light to Sight The Law of Reflection Light is known to behave in a very predictable manner. If a ray of light could be observed approaching and reflecting off of a flat mirror, then the behavior of the light as it reflects would follow a predictable law known as the law of reflection. The diagram below illustrates the law of reflection. Images of a Curved Mirror Observe images and use lens equation with spherical mirrors Critical Angle Determine critical angle for substances using Snell's Law Light and Reflection To investigate the properties of light at different boundaries. Make a permanent rainbow shows reflection and refraction of light
