What is reflection of light ,what is a mirror ,plane mirror and spherical mirror

When a ray of light return back after striking a surface this is called reflection of light .
Laws of reflection
1-Incident ray ,reflected ray and point of incident exit in same surface .
2-Angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection i.e i=r .
These laws of reflection are applicable to all types of reflecting surfaces including plane and spherical surfaces .
Mirror is an optical instrument by which we see or obtain image of a object .It is based on the principle of reflection of light .
Note - Opposite surface of a mirror is coated by silver and red paint .
Plane mirror that mirror whose reflecting surface is plane .
Some important points related to a plane mirror
1) when an object moves with V m/s towards a plane mirror image velocity will be 2V m/s
2)The length of a plane mirror should be half length of a man to viewing his full image .
3)When a plane mirror rotated through thita angle ,the reflected ray moves through 2thita .
4)Number of image between two plane mirror is equal to 360/thita -1
Where ,thita is the angle between mirrors .
SPHERICAL MIRROR
The reflecting surface of a spherical mirror may be curved inwards or outwards .A sherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved inwards that is face towards the centre of the sphere ,is called CONCAVE MIRROR
A sherical mirror whose reflecting surface is curved outwards is called CONVEX MIRROR
1)principle axis - an imaginary axis passes through the mean of an spherical mirror .
