This example demonstrates the normal reflection of light at an air-glass interface. It involves core mathematical concepts like vectors, geometric construction, and the law of reflection. The construction uses commands/objects such as Segment, Vector, Polygon, and Textfield in GeoGebra. Suitable for high school physics and mathematics education.
