Reflections are transformations in geometry that produce a mirror image of a shape across a specific line, known as the line of reflection. This concept is central to understanding symmetry groups, as reflections help define the symmetries of shapes and patterns. By examining how objects behave under reflections, one can gain insights into their symmetrical properties and group representations, which are crucial for various physical applications.
congrats on reading the definition of Reflections. now let's actually learn it.
