Reflection:
• Incident ray = ray going towards mirror.
• Reflected ray = ray coming from mirror.
• Normal = imaginary line perpendicular to surface
from which the light is reflected.
• Angle i = angle of incidence.
• Angle r = angle of reflection.
• Laws of reflection:
- Angle of incidence = angle of reflection.
- Incident ray, normal and reflected ray are all
in the same plane.

• Gay-Lussac's law = The pressure of a fixed
mass of gas with a constant volume is directly
proportional to the temperature.
