What force experienced by a mirror when it reflects at the light incident on it from a laser source with a power p?
Jyotirmoysamaddar
No , mirror doesnot experience any force while reflecting the light as force is mass to the product of accelaration as photons have no mass the equation becomes 0

Answer #2:
Answer #1 is internally logical, logically consistent, and consistently wrong.
Nobody ever said that photons have no mass. It's true that they have no
rest-mass, but they're never at rest. They're always traveling at the speed
of light, where they do have mass, as well as momentum and kinetic energy ...
the whole package.
I don't think we can calculate the force on the mirror from the light's power.
But we could if we knew the light's momentum, because we know that the
momentum [vector] must be conserved at the reflection, and since the
direction of the light changes, the mirror must acquire some momentum
to compensate ... in the form of impulse F·t since the mirror is fixed.

Type of light source that reflects light rays?
Light doesn't reflect light, nor does any other electromagnetic radiation.
What is the use of mirror to microscope?
A compound microscope can either have a light bulb or a mirror for illumination. If your microscope has a mirror, then you need sunlight or some other light source to point at the mirror to view your slide.The mirror is used to focus light up through the hole in the microscope's stage, or slide platform. The slides will contain a thin slice of material through which the light can shine, to reveal the internal structure of the sample.=========================================Mirrors on the exterior of microscopes are there to reflect ambient light (especially sunlight) under the slide being viewed to illuminate it. These are necessary for microscopes that don't have their own light sources.Mirrors in the interior of the microscope are there to redirect the optics and make the microscope more compact or to facilitate making the microscope binocular.
What are the differences between Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction?
FRESENEL DIFFRACTIO1) Both the incident and diffracted wavefronts are spherical or cylindrical.2) the source must be close to he obstacle.FRAUNHOFFER DIFFRACTION1) Both the incident and diffracted wavefronts are plane wavefonts.2) the source must be infinite distance from the obstacle.
What is the Illuminating parts of compound microscope?
A compound microscope can either have a light bulb or a mirror. If yours has a light bulb, turn it on to view your slide. You can't use the light in your room or lab to view your slide, because you will block all that light when you use the microscope. If your microscope has a mirror then you might need a another light source to point at the mirror to view your slide.
What are two sources of visible light waves?
A primary light source is one that actually produces light, such as a light bulb or the sun. A secondary light source in one that ONLY reflects the light produced by a primary light source. It doesn't produce light itself, such as a mirror or the moon.
What reflects the light on to the specimen?
The mirror, which can also be called the light source. It reflects the light.
What is the type of light source that reflects light rays for a microscope?
Mirror.
Type of light source that reflects light rays?
Light doesn't reflect light, nor does any other electromagnetic radiation.
Why is the moon described as a mirror not a light source?
The Moon reflects the Sun's light, it has no energy of its own to create light.
How do a concave mirror and convex mirror differ?
A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward (away from the incident light). A convex mirror, fish eye mirror or diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source.
Type of light source created that reflects light rays?
mirror yes it might not seem like it but it is u will proboly understand when u get into microscopes
Where can you buy an anamorphoscope cylindrical mirror to place on the surface of artwork that reflects the distorted image into something recognizable?
An excellent source for anamorphoscope mirrors and information is www.OOZandOZ.com.
Can mirror reflect light to cook eggs?
Yes, a mirror simply reflects waves, including visible light, nearly perfectly. This means that your ability to cook the egg faster or hotter depends on your source of the bounced light. The stronger the source, the hotter the cooking temperature. This is why a mirror could not reflect heat without some form of electromagnetic wave.
Is a mirror a natural source of light?
A mirror is not a source of light, natural or otherwise.
What is the fate of the energy in visible light incident in glass?
Some of it reflects (bounces) back to the source. Some of it is absorbed into the glass, and never heard from again. The rest of it passes through the glass and continues on its way.
Is the moon a natural source of light though it reflects the sun's light?
No- it reflects the natural light of the sun, so the sun is the source.
Concentrates light onto the specimen?
The mirror, which can also be called the light source. It reflects the light.
