This experiment seeks to demonstrate the law of reflection - the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection when measured from the normal. Equipment Single slit raybox with power supply Paper Ruler Protractor Sharp Pencil Plane mirror Support for mirror (e.g. wooden block with a groove in, or plasticine) Method Draw a line on the paper. Place the mirror on the line and support it so it does not move. Shine the beam from the raybox towards the mirror. Use the pencil

incidence compares with the angle of reflection by always sharing the exact same measurement. For each trial performed, the incident ray would be directed towards the mirror and the reflected ray would match the incidence ray but would reflect the other way. For example, when trial 1 was performed and the angle of incidence was aimed on the plane mirror, its angle equaled 45°. The angle reflected off the mirror in the same angle which also equaled 45°. This reflection came off a smooth surface which was

young to understand the main concepts of Jesus. I did not believe in Jesus. It took some life changing events to help me realize my relationship with God. One of those events was when I was raped.

the significance of such wanting of sameness, or if the sense of sameness serves any purpose. Using the concept of Self and Other that Joanne Finkelstein examines in “The Self as Sign,” I propose that the sense of sameness that is offered by the illusion of cloning allows one to establish a sense of identity. In a final analysis, I will elaborate on Finkelstein’s arguments on the Self and Other to shed light on the question posed by Philips on whether cloning was the death or apotheosis of individualism

struggle with anorexia, ‘Unbearable Lightness’, in which I channeled the author’s loss of self-control as she strove for perfection and acceptance. While reading, something took over. Perhaps I connected with her sense of powerlessness, or her temptation to hide from the eyes of society. Even though I was vicariously channeling another person’s words, I felt completely empowered. I discovered the art of unbridled self-expression. Several months later, at a summer program at the Peabody Institute, I

Self-Schema: A self-schema is a belief or idea about oneself that leads to a bias that is self-perpetuating. It could consist of a particular role in society or a generalization based on social sterotypes. If a mother tells her daughter she looks like a tom boy, her daughter may react by choosing activities that she imagines a tom boy would do. Conversely, if the mother tells her she looks like a princess, her daughter might choose activities thought to be more feminine. The self-schema becomes self-perpetuating
