Severe distortion.
A white rough surface reflects light rays in many directions, causing them to scatter and not form a clear image of your reflection. This diffuse reflection results in a lack of distinct reflection, making it difficult to see your reflected image on a white rough surface.
A rough surface scatters light in random directions, making it difficult for the rays to reflect back to your eyes in a clear manner to form a visible image. This results in a lack of reflective properties and a distorted or blurry reflection, making it hard to see your image on a white rough surface.
A mirror image is not formed when light reflects off white paper because the surface of the paper is diffuse, scattering light in many directions. A mirror image is only formed when light reflects off a smooth and highly reflective surface that preserves the angle of incidence.
The "roughness" of the surface will reflect light into many directions, scattering it away from your eyes. If the white surface is opaque, it's probably filtering out some wavelengths and would not be very reflective, although it is giving off "white light"
When a yellow light is shone on a white surface, the surface reflects mostly yellow light and absorbs other colors. This makes the surface appear yellow because it is reflecting predominantly yellow light back to our eyes, giving the illusion of a yellow color instead of white.
A plane (flat) mirror reflects an image which is the same size and shape, and colour as the object in front of the mirror. A concave mirror can produce a magnified image. If the image is in front of the mirror it is a real image; if behind it is a virtual (non-real) image. A real image can be cast upon a white the best) surface
it is determined when you rub the mineral on a hard, rough, white surface.
A "white surface" is one that reflects all colors of light. That's why it looks white when a white light shines on it, and that's why you call it "white". If only red light shines on it, then it looks red.
Yes, light reflects more on a mirror than on a white piece of paper because mirrors have a smooth, shiny surface that allows light to bounce off at the same angle. In contrast, the rough and non-reflective surface of a white piece of paper scatters light in different directions, absorbing some of it.
When blue light is shone on a white surface, the surface reflects the blue light while absorbing other colors present in the light spectrum. This selective reflection results in the perception of the white color.
It is black and white.
White reflects more light than any other colour, while black absorbs more light than any other color. To get technical, photons that are not absorbed by the paper will bounce off (be reflected by) the paper and make it appear lighter or white. Short answer: because most paper is white.
