Blackboard Optics Plane Mirrors
Purpose
Visible light rays reflect off plane mirrors on the blackboard optics board, demonstrating \(\theta_i = \theta_r\). Mirrors can be combined to build periscopes, corner reflectors, and other multi-mirror systems.

Single ray reflecting off a plane mirror on the blackboard optics board, showing incident and reflected ray paths.
Figure 2:
Diverging rays reflecting from a plane mirror, useful for showing virtual image location.
Figure 3:
Parallel rays reflecting from a plane mirror at an angle, demonstrating reflection of collimated light.
