Light reflection is the bouncing back of light from a reflecting surface, governed by two laws: the incident ray, reflected ray, and normal lie on the same plane, and the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. The angle of deviation equals 180° minus twice the angle of incidence. Regular reflection occurs on smooth surfaces where parallel incident rays produce parallel reflected rays, while irregular (diffused) reflection occurs on rough surfaces where parallel incident rays scatter in different directions. For plane mirrors, the image is virtual, erect, same size as the object, with object distance equal to image distance, and magnification of +1, accompanied by lateral inversion. Spherical mirrors include concave mirrors (converging mirrors where reflected rays meet at the focus) and convex mirrors (diverging mirrors where reflected rays diverge). Key terms include pole, principal axis, radius of curvature, focus, and focal length.
