According to the Law of reflection, a light ray striking a mirror

• continues moving through the mirror in the same direction
• moves into the mirror at a slightly different angle
• bounces off the mirror toward the direction it came from
• bounces off the mirror at the same angle it hits.

• Reflection

• Refraction
