Dis(ussio): Hooke’s law state that that for all elastic bodies the extension
was proportional to the stretching force so long as the spring was not permanently stretched. +hen the graph was finish drawn the line ended was
straight. The reason why the line of the graph was straight is because the
extension was directly proportional to its stretching force. The gradient was
found using the formula rise o/er run and the gradient was #.#!. 3or e/ery
2" grams added to the spring the extension of the spring increased by #.#1m.

Re+le(tio): This concept is used in real life situations. An example for that
is the traffic mirrors. At a T crossing there are usually traffic mirrors placed
in front of the road where the dri/ers are not able to see the oncoming traffic
to the left or right. 6t is usually placed !" so that the dri/er can see # which would make him=her to ha/e a straight /iew towards the oncoming
traffic. 6n this experiment it was learnt that the angle of rotation of the
reflected ray from the plane mirror will be twice the angle of rotation of the
mirror no matter what angle the mirror is rotated.
Co)(lusio): ;ased on the results obtained it was concluded that the angle
of rotation of a reflected ray from a plane mirror is directly proportional to
