When light reflects off a mirror, what does that actually mean? What kind of readings do we get with the digital light meter? Sixth graders explored these ideas using an angled setup of five varying angles to see and measure what happens. Our two big findings: the angle the light hits the mirror always equals the angle the light reflects off the mirror (angle of incidence = angle of reflection) and the more direct path the light takes the more intense it reads on the meter. |
