∙ 12y agoTo make a mirror, you simply apply a reflective coating to a base material that the coating will attach to.
The materials used to make a mirror depend upon what the mirror is used for. The most inexpensive varieties employ polished metal without any surface coating. Household mirrors use glass covered with tin, silver, copper and then paint with an activator that causes the silver and/or tin to harden.
In laser applications, technical mirrors may use silver, aluminum or (for infrared mirrors) gold coatings. Some applications require extreme reflectivity or durability, and instead use special dielectric coatings.

What will be the angle of reflection if a ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror surface?
If the ray hits the mirror at an angle of 30 degrees with the mirror surface, the complementary angle that the ray makes with the normal (perpendicular) to the mirror at the point of incidence is (90 - 30) = 60 degrees and since angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection in a plane mirror, the angle of reflection is 60 degrees.
