Reflection of light is the process by which light rays bounce back after striking a smooth surface, such as a mirror. It is one of the fundamental concepts of optics and helps us understand how we see objects around us.
In this chapter, you will learn about the laws of reflection, types of reflection (regular and irregular), and the behavior of light rays in plane and spherical mirrors. The notes also explain important topics like image formation, ray diagrams, and practical applications of reflection in daily life, such as periscopes and automobile mirrors.
These notes are prepared to give Class 11 students a clear explanation with diagrams and solved examples, making it easier to understand the concepts and apply them to numerical problems. A strong grasp of reflection builds the foundation for advanced topics in optics.
