Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reflection**: - Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface. The quality of reflection depends on the smoothness and type of the surface. 2. **Identifying the Surfaces of a Mirror**: - A typical mirror has two surfaces: the front surface (reflecting surface) and the back surface (polished surface). The front surface is designed to reflect light effectively, while the back surface may not be as reflective. ...
