What is a very smooth surface able to clearly reflect light to form a virtual image?
That surface would be called a "mirror".
What is a smooth shiny surface that is able to reflect light?
shinny surfaces, example mirror.
What is a non reflective surface?
A lot of surfaces are non-reflective if viewed on a small scale, bricks for example. They do not reflect an image like a mirror does. However, almost all surfaces reflect light (otherwise you wouldn't be able to see them). It's more to do with colour really. A black surface does not reflect light. It absorbs it, unless it's very shiny like a car body. in which case it reflects it like a mirror.
Is refractive index a chemical property?
The only reason a material is able to reflect light is because of its smooth surface and the substance that it is made of which are physical property
What colour would be inside a box of mirrors?
If you visit a site called Librivox(www.librivox.org) you will be able to download some audio books. Also, LimeWire(www.limewire.com) can be used but be careful not to violate copyrights. You could even find some cheap audio books on EBay.

Do mirrors work in outer space?
Yes, mirrors do work in outer space! That is because light also travels in space just like on Earth.

What is the significance of mirrors being covered on Good Friday?
witches are supposed to be able to "scry" using mirrors, being able to look in other peoples mirrors using their own. try reading the spooks apprentice ^_^
What are the uses of regular reflection?
If light didn't reflect off objects, you wouldn't be able to see them. Mirrors are used as coherent reflectors of received light. Mirrors can be used in periscopes to see around corners, or just on their own to see what one looks like.
What does a mirror reflect facing a mirror?
A "mirror" is defined as something that reflects visible light. Therefore, two mirrors facing each other will only reflect any light that comes into contact with them, along with any visible distortions inherent to the reflecting process, such as coloration from the metal in the mirror and impurities in the glass. Given two theoretically "perfect" mirrors facing each other, the only thing reflected would be light. In the absence of friction or other interference, the light would travel infinitely and eternally. If one were able to look directly at this, one would literally just see light, as far as the eye could see. Contrary to popular belief, mirrors do not reflect images. They reflect the light coming from objects and redirect that light to the human eye, giving the impression of an "image." In reality, the eye is seeing the actual object. It's just that the light coming from the object has been redirected.
Are eagles able to see gamma ray light wavelengths?
No living thing can "see" (or otherwise sense) gamma rays.
How can you see objects in a mirror?
Most objects we use in daily life ( as smooth as they seem) are actually fairly rugged. Mirrors, are almost completely flat and smooth making them able to reflect the light that reflects off of you perfectly (or the object you are viewing)
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 heated door mirrors?
Heated mirrors that are attached to your doors. "Door" simply tells you where the mirrors are located. As opposed to the inside "rear view mirror".With heated outside mirrors it will keep condensation and snow from building up on the mirror and you not being able to see next to you.
Why are reflections important?
Reflections are important because:Light from the sun or an artificial source (computer screen, phone screen, lamp, light bulb) travels to an object and reflects (bounces off) into a persons eye. The light always reflects at the same angle it hit the object. Some materials reflect better that others, such as mirrors, it actually reflects so well off mirrors that we are able to see our self in it.
