Question: how does mirror reflaces things

Claudia Krehl answered on 12 Mar 2013:

Mirrors reflect things by reflecting the light that hits its’ surface. All objects reflect light but some do it better and some tend to absorb light a lot more. To get a mirror image you need a nice flat smooth surface. You might think that paper and wood for instance are flat and smooth, but if you look at ti under the microscope you can see that it is not.
