Actually, everything fogs up. You just can see it better on the mirror. When you take a hot shower, it produces steam and this steam will rise in the room and then cool off and descend to the ground. As it moves, it sticks to all solid surfaces, the walls, cieling, the sink, the toilet, etc., leaving a layer of moisture on everything. Its just more evident on the mirror or a window.
Cold air holds less moisture than warm air. When you run the shower with hot water, the moisture condenses on the cold mirror surface causing it to fog up. If you run the shower cold, the mirror will not fog up.
No. The steam from a hot shower fogs the mirror.
Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. The dew point in the shower room is at or below room temperature. The vapor from the hot water in the shower warms up the air in the room, and the mirror surface is colder with low dew point, so the water condenses on it causes it to fog up since it cannot hold the moisture. The same thing happens when you leave an air conditioned auto with glasses on - they fog up if the air outside is warm with high dewpoint - lots of moisture
because when water is hot, it evacuates and turns into gas which fogs
A concave mirror is used as a shaving mirror as it allows you to see yourself bigger than normal!
Well truly it depends on you... I like to take a shower when I wake up so it's up to you! If you get smelly when u sleep then take a shower
When you take a shower the water droplets have a greater surface area then simply having the water sit in the tub as it does in a bath. The leads to increased evaporation. With more moisture in the air it is easier for condensation to occur on a cool surface such as a mirror.
In Japan, it is common to take a relaxing bath in a traditional deep soaking tub called a "Ofuro" before rinsing off with a quick shower. The bath is seen as a way to cleanse and relax, while the shower is for rinsing off and refreshing.
In a bath there is less hot water vapour condensing into particles for you to see. Steam is made up of water vapour that you can't see. More fog is produced from a shower because cold air surrounding the hot water from the shower causes water vapour to change into small water droplets called fog not steam.
Take a shower.
A shower mirror is installed to assist the person taking the shower. Men may use it to help while shaving their face while women may use it for other facial grooming such as plucking or putting on face masks. Many shower mirrors do not fog up in the heat of the shower like normal mirrors.
You have saturated the air in the shower with water and no more can be dissolved, so you get visible vapor. thx!
