By chopping up cellulose containing material (e.g. linen rags, cotton rags, wood, recycled paper) and making a paste/suspension with water and sometimes certain chemicals (e.g. acids). This paste/suspension is then spread on fine mesh screens to dry. If a smooth finish is desired it is removed from the screen slightly damp and run through rollers to smooth the surface and remove the last of the water. If watermarked paper is desired the screen has a raised pattern on it that leaves the watermark in the paper. If glossy paper is desired a thin layer of white clay slurry is applied to the finished paper and dried between rollers.

Why is there no mirror image formed when light reflects off white paper?

A mirror image is not formed when light reflects off white paper because the surface of the paper is diffuse, scattering light in many directions. A mirror image is only formed when light reflects off a smooth and highly reflective surface that preserves the angle of incidence.


What is most likely the mass of the dust formed on burning the piece of paper?

The mass of the dust formed on burning a piece of paper is likely to be less than the original mass of the paper. This is because burning paper results in a conversion of some of the paper's mass into gases and ash, which can float away. The remaining dust would likely be a small fraction of the original mass.
