Light Reflection Experiment - Mirror and Pins - Determine the object distance and image distance.

Characteristics of mirror image:

• virtual (an image which cannot be formed on a screen)

• same size as object

• laterally inverted

• upright

• distance between object and mirror is equal to distance between image and mirror

One difficulty faced by students in such experiment is how to insert the pins with respect to the image of the object. So do watch the video to learn the techniques, which is applicable for refraction too.
