A mirror reflection occurs when light bounces off a smooth, reflective surface, creating a reversed image of an object. This reflection follows the Law of Reflection, which states that the angle of incidence (incoming light) equals the angle of reflection (outgoing light).
Characteristics of Mirror Reflection
Lateral Inversion (Left-Right Flip)
Text or objects appear flipped horizontally.
Example: The word “HELLO” appears as “OLLEH” in a mirror.
The letter “B” appears as “Ʞ” (flipped).
Identical Size & Shape
The reflected image is the same size as the actual object.
Distance Consistency
If you stand 2 feet from a mirror, your reflection appears 2 feet inside the mirror.
Symmetry in Reflection
If an object is symmetrical (like “A” or “M”), its mirror image looks the same.
Asymmetrical letters like “P” or “R” appear reversed.
Types of Mirror Reflection
Plane Mirror Reflection
A flat mirror creates a clear, undistorted image with lateral inversion.
Concave Mirror Reflection
A curved inward mirror (like a makeup mirror) magnifies objects when close.
Convex Mirror Reflection
A curved outward mirror (like a car side mirror) shows a wider field of view but makes objects appear smaller.
