Reflection of Light: Plane Mirror Quiz

Reflection of Light: Plane Mirror Quiz is a journey into one of the simplest yet most fascinating aspects of physics. Here’s a neat trivia, the word “mirror” comes from the Latin word mirari, meaning “to wonder at.” In ancient times, before glass mirrors existed, people used calm water surfaces as mirrors to see their reflections. Plane mirrors today do a much better job, but the basic idea remains the same, light bounces back to reveal an image. This quiz focuses on light reflection MCQ formats and encourages you to think deeper about plane mirror image questions and the fun science behind them. You’ll probably never look at your bathroom mirror the same way again.
