REFLECTION

Welcome to the Reflection Web Pages from Zeal Education!

You can use these pages to study reflection of light from

• Concave Mirrors
• Convex Mirrors
• Parabolic Mirrors

In each case, you can

• Select the focal length of the mirror
• Select a point on the object
• Plot one or more rays starting from the given point and reflecting from the mirror.
• You can also observe the path of the ray drawn backwards, useful for studying virtual images!

For more details, look at Help and Instructions

Important: These pages use the laws of reflection to accurately compute the path of the reflected ray and do not use the paraxial approximation!
