Sample Cards

Reflection

The bouncing back of light when it hits a surface.

The Law of Reflection

The law that states the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Specular Reflection

The type of reflection that occurs when light reflects off a smooth surface.

Diffuse Reflection

The type of reflection that occurs when light reflects off a rough surface.

Concave Mirror

A mirror that curves inward like the inside of a bowl.

Convex Mirror

A mirror that curves outward like the outside of a sphere.

Plane Mirror

A flat mirror that reflects light to form an image that is the same size, reversed, but not inver...

Angle of Incidence

The angle between the incoming light ray and the normal at the point of incidence.
