Optics Lab: Mirror Reflection and Triangulation, Study Guides, Projects, Research of Optics

Instructions for various optics experiments involving mirror reflection, ray diagrams, and triangulation. Students are asked to determine reflection angles, draw ray diagrams, and use triangulation to locate images. Real-life applications of triangulation are also discussed.

What you will learn

  • What is the process of triangulation and where is it used in daily life?
  • How does the angle of incidence relate to the angle of reflection for mirror reflection?
  • How can the image position, height, and type of an object be determined using a plane mirror?

Where am I? Plane Mirrors
1. Law of Reflection
Light from a laser beam is very special. Lasers send one ray of light in only one direction. Use the laser, the
plane mirror, and the protractor to determine the relationship between the angle that the light ray strikes the
surface of the mirror and the angle that it leaves at.

2. Ray Diagram Drawing
Draw a ray diagram that shows how light that is reflected off of the dinosaur is reflected in the mirror. Draw
two light rays reflected from his nose and two light rays from his foot.

Describe the process of triangulation. Where do you use it in your daily activities?

4. Where is the image of th Use the method of triangulation to locate the image of the toy car in the mirror. Have one person hold the mirror e toy car?

upright with the toy car in front of it. Decide on one specific point on the car. Each person should view the car from a different angle at table level and use a meter stick to point to where they see that specific spot on the car

in the mirror. Use these sight lines to location the image of the car using triangulation.

Draw a picture of what you did, including each person’s line of sight
