How image is formed by a plane mirror?
a image on mirror was get by the reflection from the mirror hten it is goes into our eyes and after this to brainby this process we get our image on hte mirror.
What happens when light hits mirror?
if it is a normal mirror the light we reflect of the mirror from a different angle the angle on which it comes from is the same angles as it goes out.
How can you look over a wall with a periscope?
You can look over a wall with a periscope because the tube has mirrors what are on a 45 degree angle so the light goes in the top, reflects off the top mirror, then onto the bottom mirror and then into your eyes. Don't forget: Light only travels in straight lines
Which property of light allows you to see yourself in a mirror?
That it reflects from smooth conductors with a fixed direction. For your eyes to see an image, the light comming from a certain direction should all originate from the same point on your body, such as is the case when reflected waves have a fixed direction. If they are random, then light from any point on your body, when hitting the mirror, goes into any direction and you don't see an image.
What is refraction What is reflection?
Reflection: light bounces off of a surface, like a mirror.Refraction: light goes through a substance and bends. For example, white light through a prism comes out in a rainbow because the light is refracted or bent and each color has a different index of refraction.
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.
How does a mirror work so you can see yourself?
Light bounces off of you, and you absorb some of it. The light that you don't absorb bounces off in a lots of directions. If you are standing near a mirror, some of that light that bounced off you hits the mirror. Mirrors don't absorb any of the light, they reflect it, so all the light bounces again, back at you. The light that goes into your eyes is what you see.
Why does a periscope need two mirrors at a 45 degree angle?
Because the bottem mirror which is set and 45 degrees the light bounces off of and goes up at exactly 90 degrees that light then bounces off the top mirror and out a hole for you to look through.
Why are you unable to non- luminous objects in a dark box?
Because light can't directly reach the objects, or reflect well off the inside walls of the box. So not enough light bounces off the walls, then bounces off the objects, and then goes to your eyes.
What is an example of radiation and reflection together?
-- You walk into the bathroom at night, turn the light on, and admire yourself in the mirror.-- The light bulb radiates light, which goes all over the place. Some of the lightreflects from your face toward the mirror, then reflects back from the mirror toyour eyes, and you "see" your face "in" the mirror.
What is the direction of light when it travels to your eye when you look at the bottom of the glass?
I think that it goes straight so the light lets say you're barthroom and it hits you're mirror and the light goes staright in a line into you're eyes

How does light travel from a source to your eyes?
the light goes into your pupiuls
Whats the difference between reflection and refraction?
Reflection is when a wave comes into contact with something and then returns to the medium from which it came. Refraction is when direction of a wave changes due to a change in it's phase velocity. For example, when light goes through a window, it refracts, but you can slightly see yourself in it, because a fraction of the light also reflects. Another example, I'll use an arrow. If the arrow goes this way ------> and then hits a wall and comes back this way and bounces off and goes this way, ^ it has Refracted.^^^^
