Mirrors

A mirror is an object that reflects an image. When focused by the eye lens or camera, the light reflected from the mirror reveals an image of what is in front of it. A mirror reverses the direction of an image at the same and opposite angle that the light hits it. This allows the viewer to see themselves or objects behind them, or even objects that are diagonal from them but outside their field of view. B. Around the corner. Natural mirrors such as water surfaces have existed since prehistoric times, but humans have been making mirrors from various materials such as stone, metal, and glass for thousands of years. Metals such as silver and aluminum are often used in modern mirrors due to their high reflectivity. They are applied as a thin coating to the glass due to their naturally smooth and very hard surface.
