Description
Like this video? https://buymeacoffee.com/electromagneticvideos This is a real explanation of how mirrors actually reflect light. Its from the classical Electromagnetics theory of how mirrors work, pretty much as covered in most Electrical Engineering and Physics 2nd or 3rd Year EM Fields and Waves courses, but without all the math which those courses typically have. Did you know mirrors actually do work by electrically shorting the electric field that is part of the electromagnetic wave that makes up a beam of light? You'll see how in this video!
