Key Stage 2
Meaning
A mirror reflects light so we can see a perfect image.
Reflection from shiny surfaces is when light bounces off a material creating an image that we can see.
About Reflection form Shiny Surfaces
- When a surface is shiny we can see a reflection on the surface.
- A mirror is a shiny piece of metal that reflects all of the light that hits it and allows us to see an image.
- Mirrors are said to be reflective.
- If a surface is dull you cannot see an image and it is not called reflective, but it still reflects the light.
| A periscope uses the reflection from two mirrors to see a clear image. |
