Reflection

Law of Reflection - This website does a nice job demonstrating that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.

Law of Reflection 2 - This demonstration shows how flat mirrors work.

Reflection and Color

Colored Filters - This website helps in understanding how we see color. It shows what colors are seen with different colored filters. Playing with this website and the different filters for a few minutes can really help in understanding color and reflection.
