What type of mirror would be used for the solar heating of water?
Focusing Curved mirrors
Large concave mirrors are used in solar furnaces Give reason?
The shape of concave mirrors catches and directs the sun light inward which provides greater heat retention. This allows the heating system to achieve a higher temperature and be better suited to heat your entire home. A flat or convex mirror would reflect a lot of the light outward, thus making those shapes less efficient for gathering solar heat.
Which would make a better solar power plant a polar reigon or a desert region?
Solar power is energy from the sun, so a desert region would be better for solar power because there are longer hours of sun in the desert than in the polar regions.
How many solar panels to generate 1500kw?
Well it depends on the power efficient of each solar panel and how much light they get. If you got panels that, in normal sunlight put out 100 watts; then for 1,500,000 watts you would need: 15 thousand panels. Now lets say you use two mirrors on each panel; then you would have about three times the light/power in normal light, so 1,500,000 divided by 300: so you would need 5000 panels and 10,000 mirrors.
What would happen if there was no solar system?
if there were no solar system then there would be no life?
Uses lenses or mirrors to gather and focus starlight?
optical telescope
What would make a better reflector a piece of metal or a piece of wood?
Metal

Is leaf a non reflector of light?
i think it is a reflector of light as we are able to see a leaf in the presence of light, it means when light bounces back into our eye, we can see it otherwise we would not be able to see it. however it is not a good reflector of light, but a poor reflector of light.
Is it possible to light a candle using mirrors and sunlight?
Possibly. The mirrors would have to be used to reflect the light onto a small space. A better way would be to use a magnifying glass; I remember doing this when I was younger.

What would be a good antonym for the word projector?
reflector or inflector.
Is plastic a better insulator than metal?
No, it is not. Metals conduct heat much better than most plastics. However, if the metal is used as a reflector of radiated heat, it will insulate better than plastic would.
