AI overview
A mirror is a reflective surface that bounces light back to create an image, with the angle at which light hits the mirror matching the angle at which it reflects away. Mirrors matter because they're useful tools in everyday life—from personal grooming to scientific applications—and the principle of reflection they demonstrate is fundamental to how light behaves.
