Imagine you're a ball of light bouncing off your face, that's what happens when you look in a mirror! Mirrors are made of smooth, shiny surfaces that send the light back to you in an orderly way. This makes your reflection look clear and not wobbly or blurry like a puddle on the ground.
Examples
- Your reflection looks clear because the mirror sends all the light back to you in order.
- If the surface was like a sponge, your reflection would be blurry.
