The video tutorial explores the history and evolution of mirrors, from early forms like polished stones and water bodies to modern glass mirrors. It explains how mirrors work by reflecting light, detailing the importance of a smooth surface for effective reflection. The tutorial also covers the law of reflection, illustrating how light angles affect the reflection we see, using examples like the sun's reflection on water.

What materials were used to make primitive mirrors in ancient times?

• Clear glass and silver

• Plastic and aluminum

• Polished stones and volcanic glass

• Wood and copper

What is the key requirement for a surface to function effectively as a mirror?

• It must be smooth

• It must be transparent

• It must be colorful

• It must be rough

How do photons contribute to the formation of a mirror image?

• They change the color of light

• They reflect light at the same angle

• They scatter light

• They absorb light

According to the law of reflection, what is the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection?

• They are always different

• They are always equal

• The angle of reflection is always greater

• The angle of incidence is always greater

Why is it easier to look at the sun's reflection in water during sunrise or sunset compared to noon?

• The sun is closer to the earth

• The reflection angle is higher

• The reflection angle is lower

• The sun emits less light
