The phenomenon involved in the image formation by mirrors is _________.
diffraction
refraction
reflection
interference
reflection
The image formation by mirrors relies primarily on the phenomenon of reflection of light. When light rays fall on a polished reflecting surface (mirror), they bounce back into the same medium following the laws of reflection.

Looking into a bathroom mirror or a dressing table mirror to see your reflection every morning is a direct example of light reflection.
MIRROR = Made In Regular Reflection Or Refraction (Mirrors = Reflection)
тИаi=тИаr тАФ Law of reflection
f=2RтАЛ тАФ Focal length relation for spherical mirrors
According to the laws of reflection, the angle of incidence (i) is equal to the angle of reflection (r), and the incident ray, reflected ray, and normal all lie in the same plane. Plane and spherical mirrors (concave and convex) utilize this bouncing of light rays to form virtual or real images.
Mirrors form images based on the principle of reflection of light.
Plane mirrors always produce virtual, erect, and laterally inverted images of the same size as the object.
Concave mirrors can produce both real and virtual images depending on the object's position.
Convex mirrors always form diminished, virtual, and erect images.
Clear image formation without chromatic aberration.
High reflectance efficiency in silvered glass mirrors.
Prceptible to silvering degradation over time.
Subject to spherical aberration in large aperture spherical mirrors.
Rearview mirrors in automobiles (convex mirrors)
Shaving and makeup mirrors (concave mirrors)
Solar cookers and astronomical telescopes
Refraction is the phenomenon involved in lens-based image formation (like microscopes and telescopes using lenses).
Diffraction involves the bending of light around corners of obstacles.
Interference is the superposition of coherent light waves producing fringe patterns.
C is correct тАФ The phenomenon involved in the image formation by mirrors is reflection.
Always remember: Mirrors work on REFLECTION, while Lenses work on REFRACTION.
