Law Of Reflection

Real World Example

Imagine you're playing a game of pool, trying to sink a ball into a pocket by bouncing it off the table's side. Just like when you aim the ball at the cushion and it bounces off at the same angle, light behaves the same way when it hits a mirror. In this analogy, the pool ball is like a beam of light, the cushion represents the mirror, and the way the ball bounces off at an angle equal to how it hit is just like how light reflects off a surface, illustrating the law of reflection where the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
