HS, Physics Std 34: Demonstrate an understanding of refraction.

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.
