🪞 Plane Mirror Simulator

Explore reflection in flat mirrors

💡 Light Rays: Drag the yellow circle to change ray angle • Point of incidence stays fixed at mirror center

📐 Laws of Reflection

1. The incident ray, reflected ray, and normal all lie in the same plane

2. Angle of incidence (i) = Angle of reflection (r)

* Angles are measured from the normal (perpendicular to mirror)
