A mirror reflects light so we can see a perfect image.

Reflection from shiny surfaces is when light bounces off a material creating an image that we can see.

Singular Noun: Reflection

Plural Noun: Reflections

Verb: To reflect

Adjective: Reflective

When a surface is shiny we can see a reflection on the surface.

A mirror is a shiny piece of metal that reflects all of the light that hits it and allows us to see an image.

Mirrors are said to be reflective.

If a surface is dull you cannot see an image and it is not called reflective, but it still reflects the light.
