Abstract
The main project in this resume is the reflexions law in two inertial frames, when a relativist mirror is in moving in some
direction respect another inertial frame we need transforms the geometric optics law from the mirror to the inertial frame.
That process is development in this resume, getting some complications in the case of the dependence of the frequency of a
plane wave, the plane wave is reflected by the mirror (perfect reflector) but in this frame the geometric optics is the same that
in courses of optics for a plane mirror, but in another frame this problems need to generalize using special relativity for a wave
plane.

4 Relativist Mirror and its Effects in Plane Waves.
3. Conclusions
In this seminary we get some implications in relativist
mirror, through geometry optics and special relativity,
how we saw the optics law for S are the same in limits
cases, in general, the incidence angle is not the same
that the reflected angle in S, the ratio of the frequency is
not the same, except for the limits case. This research
has more implications in the geometry optics, in a field
gravitational like the sun the light is curved and the
reflexions law must to be modified, but this is not the
unique law, the Fermat principle find the trajectory of
the light through a medium getting the two basic law
of the geometric optics, but this light run in a geodesic
line.

In some properties of the geometry optics must to
nations angle of the mirror
be more generalize in relativist cases. when a pulse of
light hits a ship, the returned pulse has relativist optics
properties, so is necessary make more investigation in
this research.
