What is fog on the bathroom mirror called?
Fog appears on bathroom mirrors like how your hot breath appears on glass when you breathe on it. The hot vapor in the air mixes with cool glass and fog appears. In other words, water vapor condenses on a smooth, cold surface creating condensation (steam).
Why After a hot shower the bathroom mirror is covered with water?
The 'fog' is condensed steam. During a hot shower, water evaporates to make steam, and when the steam comes into contact with a cold surface, such as a mirror, then it will cool down and condense back to a thin layer of water.
What is it called when a mirror fogs up?
Actually, everything fogs up. You just can see it better on the mirror. When you take a hot shower, it produces steam and this steam will rise in the room and then cool off and descend to the ground. As it moves, it sticks to all solid surfaces, the walls, cieling, the sink, the toilet, etc., leaving a layer of moisture on everything. Its just more evident on the mirror or a window.
Why does the bathroom mirror mists up when you have a shower?
The water vapours spread all over the bathroom when we take bath. They are on the walls, on the mirror and everywhere. However they are easily visible on the mirror as the surface is smooth and water vapours make it difficult to see clearly. Taking showers creates a humid environment. The warm water vapor permeates the air. The mirror, and walls and everything else in the bathroom, are cooler than the air, and the moisture condenses on them. It is the same affect as water condensing on the side of your cold drink on a hot day. same thing when you are in the kitchen
