"opaque"
What else can I help you with?
Why are mirrors made of silver?
the surface ejects more electrons such that it leaves the surface to shine enough and reflect light.
How we get shadows?
Because something opaque comes between the light source and the surface onto which the light is falling.
Which type of curved mirror uses its outside as the reflecting surface?
Convex mirrors use the outside as the reflecting surface. They diverge light rays, making objects appear smaller and giving a wider field of view. These mirrors are commonly used in automobile side mirrors and in security and surveillance applications.
Is the sun opaque?
No, the sun is not opaque. It is a luminous sphere composed of plasma that emits light and heat. While it appears solid, it is actually a dynamic and constantly changing ball of gas.
Which planet has an opaque atmosphere?
Venus has an opaque atmosphere due to thick clouds of sulfuric acid that prevent us from seeing its surface in visible light. These clouds trap heat and contribute to Venus having one of the hottest planetary surfaces in our solar system.
What opaque objects reflects light?
Mirrors, metals, and some plastics are examples of opaque objects that reflect light. These materials have a smooth surface that allows light to bounce off and be reflected in a predictable manner.
Is a mirror's surface transparenttranslucentor opaque?
"opaque"
Is mercury opaque or transparent?
Mercury is opaque, which means it does not allow light to pass through it. It has a shiny, reflective surface which is characteristic of opaque materials.
Which term describes the bouncing back of a beam of light from an opaque surface?
The term that describe bouncing back of a beam of light from an opaque surface is "reflection."
Why can you see any objects in mirrors?
Because mirrors have a reflective surface?
Does heat and light pass through opaque surfaces?
Light does not pass through an opaque surface. (That is the basic definition of "opaque"). Heat will be absorbed (or rather the energy of the impinging radiation - including the light) will heat the opaque surface and underlying substrate and this heat will be re-emitted (in all directions). So in a way the heat will "pass through" the opaque surface but it really is absorbed and sent back out later.
Are mirrors considered opaque?
Mirrors are considered opaque, ie. you cant see through them. Unless, you are using a two way mirror. If using a two way mirror (like the police interrogation room) the side you dont want people to see into has to have 70% dimmer lighting then the other.
When light strikes a mirror does it bend absorb bounce off or makes a shadow?
When light strikes a mirror, it reflects off the mirror surface, resulting in a "bounce" effect. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection based on the law of reflection. Mirrors do not absorb light like opaque materials and do not create shadows like opaque objects.
What are mirrors with a flat surface?
to make an reflection
What are spherical mirrors?
The most curved mirrors are spherical mirrors. The centre of curved surface is called center of curvature. There are two kinds of spherical mirrors. Concave and convex mirror.
Can a ray refract on an opaque surface?
No, a ray cannot refract on an opaque surface because refraction occurs as light passes through a transparent or translucent medium, causing it to change direction. Opaque surfaces do not allow light to pass through, so refraction cannot occur on them.
Difference in plane and curved mirrors?
Plane mirrors have a flat reflecting surface, while curved mirrors have a reflecting surface that is curved either inward (concave) or outward (convex). Curved mirrors can focus or diverge light rays depending on their shape, resulting in different optical properties compared to plane mirrors. Additionally, curved mirrors have a focal point and focal length, which plane mirrors do not possess.
