Flat mirrors
Flat mirrors are smooth, reflective surfaces that produce an image identical in size and orientation to the object in front of them. When light rays from an object hit the mirror, they bounce off evenly, creating a reflected image. This image appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of it. Flat mirrors are commonly used in daily life, such as in houses and vehicles, and are essential in various optical devices. They do not alter the size or shape of the image, providing a clear, straightforward reflection.
