Answer 2

The statement, among the given options, which is not true about mirrors is "It is a transparent object". (option c)

• Firstly, a mirror is defined as a piece of glass having a shiny back covered with metal, that is capable of reflecting light.
• So, as it is evident from the definition itself, a mirror reflects light, we can say that any ray(s) of light falling on a mirror will be reflected back. (option a)
• We know from the laws of reflection that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, so it can be said that a mirror can change the direction of light falling on it. (option b)
• Now, as a mirror has its back polished or covered with metal, called metallic coating, it is obviously an opaque object and not a transparent one. (option c) not true.
• Also, if sufficient light is present and the object is somewhat close to the mirror, we can observe that images with exact details can be formed by the mirrors. (option d)
• Thus, the correct answer is "It is a transparent object" that is, 'option c'.
