Question

What is a refrective mirror?

Open in App

Solution

Actually mirrors are considered to be reflective, not refractive.
However, many mirrors are a piece of glass with a reflective coating on the back surface. So light can be refracted on the front surface, reflected from the back surface, and refracted again on the way out the front surface.
