No, mirrors reflect the light instead of absorbing it.

Can mirrors reflect light?

Yes. Mirrors reflect all wavelengths of visible light and possibly some infrared or ultraviolet.


Why does light reflect off of mirrors?

Light reflects off of mirrors because mirrors have a smooth and shiny surface that causes light waves to bounce back in a predictable way, creating a clear reflection.


How does light behave when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors?

Light can be refracted, reflected, or dispersed when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors. Convex lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light. Concave and convex mirrors reflect light in different ways: convex mirrors diverge light, creating a virtual image, while concave mirrors can converge light, creating a real image.


Does mirrors reflect light?

Can light be reflected how?

What effects does light have on concave and convex mirrors?

Light has little or no effect on a mirror. The mirrors follow the rule: "the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection". Concave mirrors concentrate light to a point and convex spread it out.


Do convex mirror reflect light?

If it's really a "mirror", then it reflects light, regardless of its shape.


How do infinity mirrors work?

Infinity mirrors work by placing two mirrors facing each other with a partially reflective surface in between. When a light source is placed inside the mirrors, the light bounces back and forth between the mirrors, creating the illusion of infinite reflections.
