Mirrors
This topic is claimed by Ethan Lyons
Mirrors are objects which only have one surface that is used to reflect light.
Basic Types
There are multiple types of mirrors which each act with light differently.
Flat Mirrors
Flat mirrors are mirrors that have flat surfaces, hence the name. We know that light will always travel in a straight line regardless of its medium. Therefore, when light comes into contact with a flat mirror, it will reflect at the same angle. This means that the angle of the incident ray will always be the same as the angle of the reflecting ray. Additionally, these will always produce virtual objects.
Convex Mirrors
