Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): The law of reflection states that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence—θ r =θ i . The angles are measured relative to the perpendicular to the surface at the point where the ray strikes the surface.

Like lenses, mirrors can form a variety of images. For example, dental mirrors may produce a magnified image, just as makeup mirrors do. Security mirrors in shops, on the other hand, form images that are smaller than the object. We will use the law of reflection to understand how mirrors form images, and we will find that mirror images are analogous to those formed by lenses.
