We have observed images formed by three types of mirrors - plane, concave, and convex. But are there any laws that govern the image formation? Class 8

Answer:

Yes, the image formation by mirrors follows two basic laws of reflection:

Law 1: Angle of incidence (i) = Angle of reflection (r).

When light hits a mirror, it bounces off at the same angle.

Law 2: Incident ray, reflected ray, and normal all lie on the same plane.

This means they all meet at the same flat surface and follow a straight path.
