A student wants to show that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence for a plane mirror.

She has this apparatus:

  • a ray box with a single narrow slit
  • a plane mirror in a holder
  • a sheet of white paper
  • a protractor
  • a ruler and a sharp pencil

Describe how the student could use this apparatus to carry out the investigation.

In your answer, describe how she should measure the angles accurately.
