Question:
Why can we see ourselves in a mirror but not on a wall?
Answer:
A mirror has a smooth and shiny surface, so light rays reflect in the same direction (regular reflection). That’s why it forms a clear image of us.
A wall has a rough surface, so light rays scatter in many directions (diffused reflection). That’s why no clear image is formed.
