How do mirrors work ?

                              How do mirrors work ?

We see objects in a mirror. When hit by particles of light called photons , mirror reflects these photons back to us and some reach and enter our eyes.
The photons when hit a smooth surface, such as a mirror, will bounce off of the surface at the same angle at which they had hit the object.
When we stand infront of a mirror, the photons which reflect our image back to our eyes, are hitting the mirror at the same angle in which they are bouncing back.
