2. What is optics?
 Optics is the study of visible light and the ways in
which visible light interacts with the eye to produce
vision.

3. Law of Reflection
 Law of Reflection- states that the angle of reflection
equals the angle of incidence

4. Regular Reflection
 Regular Reflection- the reflection of parallel light rays
all in the same direction
 Occurs on smooth surfaces

5. Diffuse Reflection
 Diffuse Reflection- the reflection of parallel light rays
in many different directions
 Occurs on surfaces that are not smooth
 Some may feel smooth to the touch (like paper), but are
actually full of texture

6. Shape determines how mirrors
form images
 An image is a picture of an object formed by light.
 Flat mirrors show an image that looks exactly like
you.
 Convex mirrors (curved outward) the image will
appear smaller than you.
 Concave mirror (curved inward)
 Far way- image upside down and smaller
 Close up- right-side up and bigger

7. Focal Point
 Focal point- the point at which the rays meet
