How is a reflection of light off a white wall similar to the reflection of light off a mirror?

when light hits an object some light is absorbed and some is reflected. when it hits a mirror, almost all of that light is reflected. when it hits a white wall a lot of the light is reflected but not enough to form an image our i can detect. a wall is also not smooth so the light is reflected at billions of different angles

What reflects light the best?
A highly reflective surface, such as polished metal or a mirror, reflects light the best. These surfaces have very smooth surfaces that allow light to bounce off with minimal scattering or absorption, resulting in a strong reflection.
Do black and white a color?
No black and white are just the reflection of the light
Can a spectrum be formed by reflection of white light?
No, but it can be formed by refraction.
Are black and white a color?
Yes. White is produced by the reflection of all colored light, and black is produced by the absorption of all colored light.
What is the best color not to reflect heat?
Light colours like silver or white are good reflectors of solar radiation.
What is Refracting and Reflecting?
Reflection: light bounces off of a surface, like a mirror.Refraction: light goes through a substance and bends. For example, white light through a prism comes out in a rainbow because the light is refracted or bent and each color has a different index of refraction.

Why running water see white?
Light reflection
Scientifically How are images formed in a mirror?
Anything and everything you see is light. We are surrounded by white light. It is in a way wrong to actually say that a car is green and a bus is yellow.. The point here is that the light is a spectrum of different colours, that together makes white. When a green car looks green to us, that mean that it actually absorb the other colors of the white spectrum, hence only reflecting green. Exactly the same with any other object. All colours looks like they do because of their ability to absorb the other colors of the spectrum of light. A mirror on the other hand simply reflect 90-99% of the light that hits it, hence we se a reflection in it. The better mirror, the better reflection.
Can a spectrum be formed by reflection of white light?
No, but it can be formed by refraction.
Why sunlight turn black colour into white?
Sunlight cannot turn black into white. However, a black surface may appear white in bright sunlight due to reflection of all the wavelengths of light from a shiny surface. The color black is actually the result of the absence of reflection of any wavelengths of light while the color white is the result of reflection of all the wavelengths of light.
Are black and white a color?
Yes. White is produced by the reflection of all colored light, and black is produced by the absorption of all colored light.
How do you go into the white silent room in super Mario 64 ds?
You get luigi and you get the flower on the pillar and then you exit the reflection of the door in the mirror
What color has the most color?
Technically white. Color is from wavelengths of light being reflected, and white is a reflection of all wavelengths
What is the best color not to reflect heat?
Light colours like silver or white are good reflectors of solar radiation.
What happens when white light is shone into a mirror?
It reflects back and a small amount is absorbed into its reflective surface.
