Answer:

A mirror is an image reflecting an object.

Step-by-step explanation:

yes a mirror is reflective

  • A mirror is a reflector of the wave. When light waves reflect the flat surface of a mirror, the same curvature and vergence are retained, in equal but opposite direction, by these waves as by the original waves.

  • Coating a piece of glass on one side with glistening metals can convert the glass into a mirror that mirrors light. Window glass may reflect only 8% of the light, while mirrors can display 95% of the light. The glass in a mirror is generally covered in a silver or aluminum layer. dark material is placed on the back to prevent the tearing of the metal (reacting with the air and turning dull). The other side of the glass can be a mirror or a simple glass. This can be used to make windows easily visible, but difficult to view.
