The light shine on any object is either reflected or absorbed into the object. Modern mirror use highly reflective material coated behind the flat glass surface thus the light would bounce off at exact opposite angle and we could see the reflection.

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.

Silver is the material that reflects the most light, as it has a high reflectivity across the visible spectrum. This is why silver is often used in mirrors and reflective surfaces.

Mirrors used to magnify images are?

concave mirrors. These mirrors have a curved surface that reflects and converge light rays to focus the image. The focal point of the mirror determines the magnification of the image.


What kind of surface reflects light to form an enlarged image?

If you're talking about mirrors then convex is the mirrors that makes things appear larger. Hope this helps!


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.
