Hewitt-Drew-it! PHYSICS 106 is a fun way to see how light bounces back when it hits something, just like when you bounce a ball off a wall.
Reflection happens when light hits a surface and bounces back, instead of going through or being absorbed. It's like when you shine a flashlight on a mirror, and the light goes back to your eyes, that’s why you can see yourself!
Like a Bounce on the Trampoline
Imagine you're playing with a ball on a trampoline. When the ball hits the trampoline, it bounces back up instead of going through it. That's just like reflection in physics.
In Hewitt-Drew-it!, they use cool tricks and real-life examples to show how light bounces off different things, like mirrors, water, or even your face! It’s like watching a science version of a game show, where you learn while having fun.
So next time you look in the mirror, remember: it's not magic, it’s reflection doing its job!
Examples
- A ball bouncing off a wall is like how light reflects from a mirror.
- When you look in the mirror, your image shows up because light bounces back to your eyes.
- The way light hits and leaves a surface tells us about reflection.
