The way a mineral reflects light is its?
me dont no
How did the rainbow come to be?
light reflects through rain. but God made it that way
The way a surface reflects light is called?
It's called Luster
Why does a reflecting telescope have no chromatic aberration?
There's no aberration with the main MIRROR of the telescope, because light doesn't go through the mirror. A reflecting telescope will have SOME chromatic aberration, because every reflecting telescope has at least one refracting lens; the eyepiece. Light goes THROUGH that lens, and light passing through the glass lens will generate some chromatic aberration.
Does light travel through a one way mirror?
Yes, light travels through a "one way mirror" but only a small part of the light, most of the light is reflected. In fact light will travel both ways through a "one way mirror"!What makes a "one way mirror" appear to act one way is if the room on one side is brightly lit and the room on the other side is dimly lit, in the brightly lit room the reflected light from the brightly lit room swamps out the small amount of transmitted light from the dimly lit room and the mirror appears to be an ordinary mirror, but in the dimly lit room the transmitted light from the brightly lit room swamps out the small amount of reflected light from the dimly lit room and the mirror appears to be a window.
Why can you see your face in a puddle?
Because light reflects off of it in a way very similar to a mirror.
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!
How light reflects off a mirror to give your eye an image of yourself when you use a mirror?
Light will bounce off the surface of a polished mirror in the same angle of incidence, but the way you see it, it's as if the image formed behind the mirror surface.
What do mirrors do with light?
Mirrors primary reflect light. Since a mirror is never 100% efficient, a small amount of the light is lost to absorption. A flat mirror reflects the light in such a way that the reflected angle is the same as the incident angle.
The moon has no light of its own why is it the that it can be seen shining brightly in the sky?
The same way a mirror looks bright if you shine a torch on it.It reflects the Suns' light.
What object reflects light?
The best things to use are metallic and shiny due to the way light bounces of the object.
The way a mineral reflects the light?
Luster

What happens to light when it is reflected in a tilted mirror?
The mirror will shoot the light the way it is pointing.
How far behind the mirror is your image compared with your distance in front of the mirror?
It's equal. The way the light reflects means that you end up the same distance away from it as you are reflected in it. That's if what I remember from Physics lessons is true :P Hope this helps :)
What is the luster?
Luster is the way a mineral reflects light.
What is the name for the way in which a mineral reflects light?
Refraction
