Reflective surfaces

Reflective surfaces are materials that bounce back light rather than absorbing it. Common examples include mirrors and polished metals. When light hits these surfaces, the angle at which it strikes is equal to the angle at which it reflects off, a principle known as the law of reflection. This property allows us to see clear images in mirrors and is utilized in various technologies, from cameras to telescopes. Reflective surfaces can improve visibility and enhance aesthetics in design and architecture by manipulating light effectively.
