I mean, what does a white object do? Absorbs nothing, reflects all light back.
What does a mirror do? Absorbs nothing, reflects all light back.
Having the same characteristics, how does a mirror reflect an image and a white object, a white texture?
In: Physics
Both a mirror and a white surface reflect most of the light.
But a white surface is rough if you zoom in, and the light rays that hit it reflects in different random directions,
while a mirror is very smooth and correctly reflects light based on the angle of incidence.
