Reflection and Refraction Practical Equipment (3D) | GCSE Physics

A set of 3D scientific diagrams illustrating the equipment setup for GCSE Physics investigations into the reflection of light from a plane mirror and the refraction of light through a glass block.

3D GCSE Physics practical equipment diagrams showing lightbox setups for investigating reflection from a plane mirror and refraction through a glass block, with paper and pencil

These diagrams show the arrangement of equipment for both investigations, helping students visualise the practical setup before carrying out the experiments. Transparent-background downloads are included, making the diagrams easy to incorporate into presentations, worksheets and other teaching materials.

Flexible for teaching and assessment

Two versions of each equipment setup

  • Reflection | colour

  • Reflection | printable

  • Refraction | colour

  • Refraction | printable

The colour versions are suited to presentations, digital teaching materials and classroom displays. The high-contrast greyscale versions are designed specifically for printing and photocopying, making them suitable for practical handouts, student workbooks and revision activities.
