Why can you see you reflection in places other than the mirror?
Lots of objects can reflect an image. A mirror is simply a surface specially prepared to reflect much better than the average surface. The way light reflects off certain surfaces can produce an image.
Why is it that white light can reflect the 7 colors of the rainbow?
It doesn't. Light doesn't reflect other things; light can be reflected (by a mirror, for example). White light is a mixture of all colors of visible light. In a rainbow, or prism, it is separated into its components.
What type of surface reflect heat?
light and smooth surfaces reflect heat energy
Does eye reflect or refract the light?
They refract. If they reflected, they would be mirrors.
Would a black cloth reflect or absorb light and why?
absorb.Black absorb heat faster than any other colour.Black will never reflect light.:)
Type of light source that reflects light rays?
Light doesn't reflect light, nor does any other electromagnetic radiation.
What does a mirror do on a microscope if there isn't a light?
it's supposed to reflect sunlight (or other light sources) into the lens.

How can you reflect?
you can reflect in thought, or reflect some thing in a Mirror. There's other ways to reflect to.
What is meaning of light reflected from the surface of the moon?
What is meaning of light reflected from the surface of the moon ? Answer:The sun reflects its light on to the moon then the moon reflects the light from the sun to earth it is like have a mirror if you have 3 or more mirror and you shine the mirror into the suns light it will reflect to the other mirrors. which is how we get day and night
What happens when 2 mirrors face each other?
If something is between them, each one will reflect the other mirror and the object between it. The first mirror will reflect the second mirror which is reflecting the first mirror, therefore the first mirror will show itself, making kind of an infinite tunnel of mirrors. There is the reflection quality to consider. The reflected image whould dim out after enough bounces.
Scientifically How are images formed in a mirror?
Anything and everything you see is light. We are surrounded by white light. It is in a way wrong to actually say that a car is green and a bus is yellow.. The point here is that the light is a spectrum of different colours, that together makes white. When a green car looks green to us, that mean that it actually absorb the other colors of the white spectrum, hence only reflecting green. Exactly the same with any other object. All colours looks like they do because of their ability to absorb the other colors of the spectrum of light. A mirror on the other hand simply reflect 90-99% of the light that hits it, hence we se a reflection in it. The better mirror, the better reflection.
What is the use of mirror to microscope?
A compound microscope can either have a light bulb or a mirror for illumination. If your microscope has a mirror, then you need sunlight or some other light source to point at the mirror to view your slide.The mirror is used to focus light up through the hole in the microscope's stage, or slide platform. The slides will contain a thin slice of material through which the light can shine, to reveal the internal structure of the sample.=========================================Mirrors on the exterior of microscopes are there to reflect ambient light (especially sunlight) under the slide being viewed to illuminate it. These are necessary for microscopes that don't have their own light sources.Mirrors in the interior of the microscope are there to redirect the optics and make the microscope more compact or to facilitate making the microscope binocular.
How does the angle at which light hits a mirror compare to the angle at which it leaves the mirror?
The angle is the same but on the other side of the perpendicular to the surface of the mirror at the point at which the light hits the mirror.
Is light reflects on human body?
yes some light rays do reflect from human skin but they are so less that they are almost ignorable. human skin's got pores and so majority of the light rays enter through them. hence human skin does not reflect back light as shiny sufaces like mirror etc. do (That is the reason why other people are almost invisible to you.)
Does orange reflect or absorb light?
yes, when one side of glass painted by Mercury, it becomes a mirror!
