Use your observations of the mirrors to justify the law of reflection. Include some data to support your answer. 2. Light rays from the sun approach the surface of the Earth nearly parallel to each other (like the ray box). Why can you use a magnifying glass (a converging lens) to burn leaves with the light of the sun? Use physics and what you know about lenses in your answer. 3.
