Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
Light follows the law of reflection<\/strong>, which states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. When light from an object strikes the mirror, it reflects off at the same angle but in the opposite direction.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The human brain interprets the reflected light rays as if they are traveling in straight lines. When these rays are extended backward, they appear to converge at a point behind the mirror. This is where the image is perceived, even though no actual light exists there.<\/li>\n\n\n\n\n
