This item is a chapter in a beginning physics tutorial. The ray nature of light is used to explain how light reflects off both planar and curved surfaces to produce images. Reflection produced by plane mirrors, concave mirrors, and convex mirrors are all explored with accompanying flash animations to illustrate geometric properties.
