Mirrors and other objects reflect light, though most objects absorb some wave lengths and reflect others and black absorbs all wavelengths and white reflects all wavelengths.

Which objects other then mirrors reflect light?

Anything shiny, such asjewelrysilverwareand glitter.Technically, everything reflects light because if nothing did, you couldn't see anything. But basically anything that is shiny "reflects" light.

Is a mirror a source of light?

No. In a room with any number of mirrors of any size, when you switch off the light or blow out the candle, the room becomes just as dark as a room without mirrors.


How does a kaleidoscope form an image?

A kaleidoscope forms an image by reflecting light off multiple mirrors that are arranged in a symmetrical pattern inside the tube. When colorful objects or glass pieces are placed at one end and light enters the other end, the mirrors create a visually intricate and symmetrical pattern by reflecting the shapes and colors of the objects.


What are some things that reflects light?

Light reflects off mirrors and glass objects


How is light redirected in a periscope?

Light enters the periscope through one end and reflects off a series of mirrors inside which are set at specific angles. The mirrors then redirect the light so that it exits through the other end of the periscope, allowing the viewer to see objects or scenes that are not in a direct line of sight.


How do one-sided mirrors work and what makes them different from regular mirrors?

One-sided mirrors work by allowing light to pass through from one side while reflecting light from the other side. This creates a mirror-like effect on one side and a transparent effect on the other. The difference from regular mirrors is that regular mirrors reflect light equally on both sides, while one-sided mirrors selectively reflect light on one side and allow light to pass through on the other.


How do reflections from convex mirrors make objects appear smaller?

Reflections from convex mirrors make objects appear smaller because the light rays diverge away from each other after reflecting off the mirror surface. This causes the image to be smaller in size compared to the actual object.


Which surface are light rays reflected?

Any opaque or translucent surface will reflect light rays. The rays that are reflected are the one that you see- something blue would reflect blue light. IF the object is Opaque the rest of the light is absorbed. If it is translucent some light is absorbed while some passes through. Black objects absorb all colours of light while white objects reflects all colours of light. There are also some special objects such as mirrors that are highly reflective a produce an image by reflecting back the rays of light emitted from other objects.


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.


How do one way mirrors work and what makes them different from regular mirrors?

One-way mirrors work by allowing light to pass through from one side while reflecting light from the other side. This creates the illusion of transparency on one side and reflection on the other. The key difference from regular mirrors is that one-way mirrors are partially reflective and partially transparent, whereas regular mirrors reflect light equally on both sides.


How do rear view mirrors work?

Like any other mirror-they just reflect objects.
