How do you see the objects that do not emit light like table and chair?
Simply because light is reflected by these objects. Reflection involves two rays, a incoming or incident ray, and an outgoing or a reflected ray. Best examples are mirrors, polished furniture polished floors, such as marble. Worst examples would be rusty metal surfaces
How does a mirror work?
When light hits something rough like a blanket, it scatters in all directions - like spilling sugar. But when light hits something smooth like a mirror, it comes straight back - like a ball bouncing off a wall. You can see yourself in a mirror because the light bounces off your face towards the mirror, and then straight back into your eyes.Mirrors are made from a sheet of very polished metal and glass. The metal is what you see your reflection in, and the glass is used to protect the metal surface from any blemishes.
Why can a mirror produce a clear image?
think of a really shiney piece of silver... if you look in it you'll see your reflection pretty clear right? well if you have a really expensive and nice mirror than usually it will have polished silver covered in glass as the mirror. so basically all you have to do is have a shiney piece of metal (preferably silver) and polish it so you can see yourself... and there you go... a clear image.
Why can you only see yourself in smooth and polished surfaces?
You can see yourself in smooth and polished surfaces because the surface is clean and not blurry. Also, you can't see yourself in certain smooth and polished surfaces, such as tan desks.
Why can you see your reflection better in a price of metal if you Polish the surface?
A clean metallic surface appears shiny because it is reflecting light. The interaction is due to the conductivity of the surface of the metal. When surface conditions change, the reflectivity is reduced.
Why do you not see your reflection when you look at a building made of rough white stone?
Because the surface isn't polished enough to reflect. If it was polished marble or any other polished stone, you might be able to see a reflection. It would be equivalent to getting a reflection from rough concrete, it wont happen. The rough surface of stone or concrete scatters the light reflecting off of it.
What must happen for light to bounce back to see a reflection?
dey must strike on shiony or polished surfaces

Why cant you see your reflection in all objects that replect light?
You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.
Why can't you see your reflection in all objects that reflect?
You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.
What test can you perform on an object to find out if it is a metal?
See if it will conduct electricity, and see if it can be flattened and stay flattened. Metals conduct electricity and heat, and are malleable. They also have a luster (shiny when polished) and are ductile- they can be drawn out like wire.
Why can't you see reflection in all objects that reflect light?
You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.
What thing cannot see their reflection?
A vampire is the creature that can not see their reflection because the theory is that to have a reflection you must also have a soul. Vampires do not have souls for they are dead and your soul leaves your body when you die. I therefore state Vampires will never see their reflection.
What do you see when you look in a mirror?
you see a reflection
