The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Concept of an Ideal Mirror:** - An ideal mirror is defined as a perfect reflector of light. This means that it does not absorb or refract any light that hits its surface. 2. **Analyzing the Options:** - Option A: Absorbs all the amount of light incident on it. - This is incorrect because an ideal mirror does not absorb light. - Option B: Refracts all the light. - This is also incorrect because an ideal mirror reflects light, it does not refract it. - Option C: Reflects all the light. - This is the correct option, as an ideal mirror reflects all the light that hits it without any loss. - Option D: None of the above. - This is incorrect because we have already identified the correct option. 3. **Conclusion:** - The correct answer is Option C: Reflects all the light. An ideal mirror reflects all the light that is incident upon it, making it a perfect reflector.
