Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What happens to light after it hits a mirror?
A
It goes through the mirror and bend.
B
It goes straight through the mirror.
C
It goes around the mirror.
D
It bounces off the mirror.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When a ray of light hits a mirror, it bounces back into the same medium in a phenomenon called reflection. The ray reflects at the same angle with which it hits the mirror.

Detailed explanation-2: -Light will sometimes bounce off of a surface in a phenomenon described as reflection. When an incident beam of light strikes the surface of a smooth object, such as a mirror, the light is reflected at an angle equal to that of the angle of incident light with respect to the normal.

Detailed explanation-3: -Also, when light is reflected from a mirror, it bounces off at the same angle in the opposite direction from which it hit. For example, if the light hits a flat or “plane mirror” at a 30-degree angle from the left, it will bounce off at a 30-degree angle to the right.
