Law of Reflection - a law of physics that states that when a light ray reflects off a surface, the angle of the incoming ray (angle of incidence) is equal to the angle of the reflected ray (angle of reflection). This law works for all types of waves, including light, sound, and water waves.

Plane Mirror - a flat mirror that reflects light rays in a straight line. Reflection Angle - the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray when light reflects off a surface.

The law of reflection is used to explain why images in plane mirror are upright and appear to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.
