22.1. The Light We See http://www.ck12.org
Points to Consider
In this lesson, you were introduced to the reflection and refraction of light. The next lesson “Optics” describes how
mirrors reflect light and how lenses refract light.
- Based on your own experiences with mirrors, how do you think a mirror forms an image of the person in front
of it? - An example of a lens is a hand lens, also called a magnifying glass. This type of lens makes objects look
bigger than they really are. How do you think this happens?
