When you see your inage in a mirror are bouncing back from the surface of the mirror. This is what allows you to see your reflection?
The only way you can see yourself in a mirror is when there is light present. The ray of light hits the surface of the mirror and it reflects in your eyes. Which allows you to see you!
Is light bouncing off a mirror reflected or refracted?
Light bouncing off a mirror is reflected. Reflection is when the light bounces off a shiny surface back to your eye while refraction is when the light changes direction when passing from one medium to another medium of different optical density.
How does reflection differ from refraction?
Refraction is the bending of light after passing through a medium. Reflection is the bouncing back of light after striking a polished smooth surface like a mirror,clear water,polished metal,etc.
What is reflection with examples?
Reflection is the bouncing back of light waves. Some examples are a mirror, and water. :)
When light bounces of an object what is call?
it is the bouncing back of lights rays from surface. It is called reflection.
How light travels when it hits a mirror?
it reflects back since mirror is a opaque surface .this phenomenon of bouncing back of light is called reflection.

How do we see images in a mirror?
Light 'bouncing' off the subject is reflected back by the mirror.

Why do you see your self in the mirror?
Mirrors have a special surface, usually at the back, that reflects light. This means that light that strikes the mirror's special surface bounces back. Light coming from you goes to the mirror's surface, bounces back and some of that light enters your eyes so that you are able to see your own image.

What is a reflection on a science fair project?
Looking back on your experiment, what would you change?
Difference between refracting and reflecting?
Reflection is bouncing back of light after falling on a polished surface while refraction is bending of light when it falls on a surface
When a light relects on a mirror why are the angles there?
There are 2 kinds of angle that lets reflection to occur the angle of incidence- it is the light going to flat or smooth surface the angle of reflection- where in the bouncing back of light occurs the angle of incidence and angle of reflection usually have the equal measure
What is the bouncing back and forth of light waves as they travel from one surface to another?
Hi how are you doing today;)
