Mirrors reflect light without disturbing the incoming image, which is called specular reflection. A mirror reflects a light print of anything in front of it.

When you shine a flashlihgt in the mirror the light rays are going to?
bounce off the mirror
How does a light ray change when it strikes a flat mirror?
A light ray will bounce off the mirror and onto a flat surface try it!
How can you use a mirror to signal a friend in the house across the street?
You can point a mirror towards the sunlight, which would cause the light to reflect off the mirror, and if the mirror is tilted to a position towards your friends house, then the light will bounce off into his/her house.
How light reflects off a mirror to give your eye an image of yourself when you use a mirror?
Light will bounce off the surface of a polished mirror in the same angle of incidence, but the way you see it, it's as if the image formed behind the mirror surface.
What happens to parallel rays of light when they reflect from a concave mirror?
They would bounce off the mirror and become nonparallel going off at whatever angle they hit the mirror at, in different directions.
Explain what will happen when a light is shone at mirror?
The light waves will bounce off of the thin layer of metal and shine on another object.
How does light reflect off a convex and concave?
A parallel light source will reflect off a concave mirror and go through a point inside the curve called the focus. Reflecting from a convex mirror will cause all light to bounce off in a straight line away from a focus point behind the mirror.
How do you make working model on street light?
Most objects do not give off their own light; it has to reflect light to be seen. Shine a laser onto a mirror and hold a piece of paper up in front of the mirror, watch how the rays bounce from the laser to the mirror and off onto the paper.
How did you ever find out the speed of light?
I Think they put lots of mirrors and shone a light and timed how long it took to bounce off each mirror with a computer.
Can you grow a lawn in reflected light from sunlight to bounce off a mirror?
Yes, even daylight saving lights would work.
What happens to the light when it strikes a plane mirror?
Light is an electromagnetic wave and as with all waves when they hit a smooth reflective surface such as a mirror they reflect which means they bounce off at 90 degrees. Light = incident ray Light reflected = reflective ray
What are some light conductors?
Glass is one such as mirrors. For example if you lined up mirrors at certain angles the light would bounce off onto the next mirror.
