First draw a horizontal line. Mark a point in the middle of the line. Well call that point C.

This line will be the mirror, or reflecting surface.

At point C, draw two lines at 45 degree angles, both going up above the mirror.

Label one of the tips of these 45 degree angle lines A and the other B.

At the end of line A, write in the word: object

At the end of line B, write the word: eye.

What you should now have is a reflecting surface, an object being reflected, which produces an image, and the eye receiving the reflection.

The angle between the object and the VERTICAL line is called the angle of incidence.

The angle between the VERTICAL line and the eye is called the angle of reflection.

Note that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

I’m only doing your homework for you because I am HOPING you are following my explanation. If you don’t understand what I’ve described above, then you haven’t learned anything and I am not a teacher but a co-conspirator and a cheater.

The blanks of your paragraph COULD be filled out as follows:

Mirrors reflect light. When you look into a mirror you see an image. The angle the light hits the mirror is equal to the angle it is reflected

I know you don’t want to hear this, but asking for the answers to simple questions like this and not actually *doing* any work yourself cripples you – you never learn how to solve problems and find answers on your own, which is what successful responsible people do.

If you need access to an online science book that has your answers in it, let me know and I will send you a password.
