When you see a mirror which has some water droplets you see a shabby image why does this happen though water is a transparent material?
Balyugesh
the clearity of our image in a mirror depends on the intensity of light falling on it and striking back our eyes . but when there are water droplets on the mirrror light rays have to pass through the droplets to reach the mirror surface .when passing through the water layer soome percentage of rays just gets reflcted from the water surface and some suffer total internal reflection .the rest which reach the mirror surface gets mixed with the ones mentioned earlier and creating the so called shabby image.
