A mirror is a reflecting surface that reflects light to form clear and distinct images. Polished surfaces are ideal for reflecting light as they absorb less light, allowing maximum reflection.
- Mirrors are widely used in our daily lives and are classified into plane mirrors and spherical mirrors, depending on their shape and function.
- The invention of modern mirrors is credited to the German scientist Justus von Liebig, who developed the first silvered glass mirror by coating the surface of ordinary glass with silver metal.
- This innovation marked a significant advancement in the creation of reflective surfaces, making mirrors an integral part of various applications today.
