Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a concave mirror?
refracts light waves
Do mirrors reflect or refract light?
A prism refracts light, and a mirror reflects light.
Does a convex mirror refract?
No pure mirror refracts. Refraction is caused by a change of the medium through which the light passes, which is accompanied by change of refractive index (change in the velocity of the light).
How do you think water on a windshield turns the wipers on?
Some vehicles are equipped with automatic rain sensing wipers. They have a light sensor that aims at the windshield below the mirror. If the glass is wet part of the light reflect/refracts back and the wipers will come on.Some vehicles are equipped with automatic rain sensing wipers.

Which part of a telescope focuses the incoming light?
The list of choices you included with your question doesn't include any part of atelescope that can do that. I would have picked the objective, whether a lens ora mirror.
What would be more affected underwater a convex mirror or a concave lens?
what do you call a curved piece of glass or other transparent material that refracts light
What part of your eye refracts light?
The retina which is where the image from the eye lens is focused. The retina is the reflective part of the eye. That's why cat's eye reflect so well, their retina are more exposed in the night because their pupils (or whatever they are in a cat) open wider than ours exposing more of that mirror at the back, the retina. Meeow!
What is the difference between the lens and the mirror?
Mirrors and lensesA mirror is a reflective surface. Light passes through the glass and hits the silverbacking, reflecting off of it. (The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.)A lens, on the other hand, does not reflect light; it refracts it. After entering theglass, light refracts differently depending on the shape of the lens and alsocreates a focal point where the refracting light comes to a point. This differs fordifferent lenses -- convex or concave -- which is why there are different lenses fordifferent types of eyeglasses.

Does the microscope refract or reflect light?
It refracts light
What is refract the light?
If something refracts light it bends it.
Does light change speed when it refracts?
Yes.
