How Mirrors Reflect Light. we will focus on mirrors as the standard reflective surface, although there are many other surfaces such as a clear lake which can produce a sharp reflective. basically, anything with a smooth surface that reflects almost all of the light that hits it — with only very little light absorbed or scattered — can be a mirror. Reflection and refraction are the two. the ray nature of light is used to explain how light reflects off of planar and curved surfaces to produce both real and virtual. The key factor is a smooth surface, because rough surfaces scatter light instead of reflecting it. mirrors reflect light because of how difficult it is for light to travel through the material that the mirror is made of. key to the way a mirror functions is how the physics of light behave in our universe: The same laws that make a banana. a mirror image is the result of light rays bounding off a reflective surface. a mirror is a reflective surface that does not allow the passage of light and instead bounces it off, thus producing an image.
