The definition of "Medium" is the material that something is made of. So, a mirror can be made of any material that can be polished enough to be reflective. For example, Metal, Plastic, Glass, even Water can have mirror properties.

What is the number of pole of mirror?
The center of the spherical reflecting surface of the mirror is called the pole of the mirror.
What is a rarer medium?
If the light travels faster in the second medium, then this medium is called the rarer medium.
What is the mirror holder in a microscope?
it helps the mirror to hold
What is another word for the substance in which a wave travels?
A medium.
Is a mirror selectively permeable?
A mirror is not selectively permeable. The mirror's surface is rigid since it cannot allow any substances to pass through it.
What are the ratings and certificates for Medium - 2005 The Man in the Mirror 5-16?
Medium - 2005 The Man in the Mirror 5-16 is rated/received certificates of: Netherlands:12
How does image formed by plane mirror?
A highly polishes plane surface which reflects light regularly is called a plane mirror. Image is formed as the light returns to the first medium when it just falls on the other surface of the second medium.
How do you unlock the dolphin dasher in Mario Kart?
(medium): Win the Mirror Star Cup.
How can light reflect off a mirror?
By 'Atomic Scattering', which is the absorption and re-emission of light energy by the particles of a medium which will not absorb the energy. It depends if the mirror is concave or convex. The light reflects differently depending on the type of mirror.
Does a convex mirror refract?
No pure mirror refracts. Refraction is caused by a change of the medium through which the light passes, which is accompanied by change of refractive index (change in the velocity of the light).
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.
What happened when light strikes at the mirror?
it reflects of the mirror. a very small part of light is absorbed by the mirror a rest of it is reflected back in the same medium . following the 1st law of reflection , a ray of light falling on a mirror is reflected back making an equal with the "Imaginery normal to the point of incidence."
Why does the focal length of a mirror not depend on the mirror material when the focal length of a lens does depend on the lens material?
The focal length for a mirror is determined by the law of reflection from the mirror surface. This law is not governed by the material that the mirror is made by. This means that the focal length depends only on the radius and curvature. Conversely, the focal length of a lens depends on the indices of refraction of the lens meterial and the surrounding medium.
How do you give your Forrest green and medium brown themed living room with white walls a more designed look?
put some pictures and a mirror in the room!
What 2 ways does light bend?
Reflection means complete change in path when light strikes a mirror and refraction means bending of a ray of light when passing from on medium to another.
How do you compare reflection refraction and dispersion?
You can compare it by saying that each of them occur when a light transfers through one meduim to another. That's one way of explaining it.That is incorrect :( It happens when light is shone onto or through a different medium. Reflection happens when light is shone ONTO a mirror, you cant shine light THROUGH a mirror.
