seeing yourself in a mirror is an example of what kind of reflection

Reflections from flatsurfaces are fairly easy to understand. A reflection appears to be the same distance from the "other side" of the mirror as the viewer's eyes are from the mirror. Also, when light is reflected from a mirror, it bounces off at the same angle in the opposite direction from which it hit.

Observing ourselves in mirror is an example of Specular reflection

Step by step explanation

The reflection through smooth surfaces are quite simple to grasp. A reflection seems to have the same range from either the "other side" of a mirror as when the eyes of a spectator are from mirror. Often, while the light enters from the reflected  mirror, it rebounds at the same angle in a the opposite direction from the side where the object is reflected.

Mirror is working principle is based on because  the atoms in it are capturing light and throws it back. In order to conserve energy, atoms should throw back the light at the same angle where they obtain it. There is also a perfect projection between both the object and the image in a plane mirror.the parts of a object close to the mirror shows nearest to the image "inside of the mirror," while the more distant pieces of the object appear wider "behind mirror." The plane mirror  always represents exactly what is in front of it.

Whenever we are stand  in front of  mirror, we can  see  the conservation of energy in practice, performing its impact on water. where light is a source of energy that flows at a  rate of high speed (300,000 km  miles per second) and it strikes an object, all that power strikes at some point.

Their may be three conditions  that could happen when light passes through the following

  • If the object is transparent, it may  sink in and vanish
  • If the object is opaque and darkly colored it might rebound again
  • If the object is white, light-colored and reflective the conservation of energy is at work.

There are two different types of mirrors

  1. Converging mirror
  2. Diverging mirror
  • Converging mirror

A concave mirror, it is often referred to as a converging mirror,  it always has reflective surface bulging inward, it is always  away from the incident ray. Whenever the converging  mirror is placed very near to the image, a magnified and virtual image is formed. But when the increase of distance between the object and the mirror increase , the volume of the image will decrease and a real image will  be formed. The image projected by the concave mirror can be small or very large and can also be real or virtual image.

Uses of converging mirror in daily life

Concave mirrors are a used by E.N.T. practitioners. They place a concave mirror on a the forehead of the patient. As when the light rays from light source are transmitted from the concave mirror, and focus on the patient's head, nose, or throat and  make the infected parts more visible.

Large concave mirrors are used to concentrate on sunlight to produce heat in the solar furnace. These are also used in solar furnaces to capture a large amount of solar energy in the focus of the concave mirror for heating, cooking, melting metals, etc. and are also used in satellite dishes, electronic microscope, visual bomb detector, etc.

  • Diverging mirror

A convex mirror does have a point where all the light that reaches it seems towards focus. This is called the focal point. A focal length is the distance from the front mirror to the focus point.

uses of diverging mirror

Convex mirrors are generally used in vehicles  as rear view mirrors in cars and buses, so that they can diverge from light rays and create virtual images.

Convex mirrors are also used for surveillance purposes in multiple locations. They are positioned near ATM's so that bank customers can see if anyone is near them.

Some of the common applications of convex mirrors scientifically. Convex mirrors are used in the a number of ways, such as  street light reflectors, as they can scatter light over wider areas and are also used to make a telescope and dome mirrors.
