When a photon of light hits a mirror it cause the electrons in the mirror's atoms to vibrate and give off identical photons of light. Metals work better as mirrors because they have a large number of electrons shared by their atoms. The atoms in other reflecting surfaces, such as glass, do not share their electrons as readily. Mirrors need to be smooth so that the reflected light goes straight back to its origination instead of being scattered in many different directions.
With these conditions in place, light striking your face will be reflected towards a mirror in a state modified by the characteristics of your face. The mirror will in turn release an exact replica of the light photon back towards you, which will be absorbed and processed by your eyes and brain, and you will then create the image of your big smiling mug by the actions your mind perform to analyze light particles.
What else can I help you with?
Why can you see your own reflection in calm lake but not in a sea?
We can see our own reflection in a calm lake but not in the sea because the sea is rough and it can not reflect well.
Light that passes through an object is called?
Light usually passes through a transparent object. Similarly, light passes through the translucent objects but people cannot see through it.
That which transmits light without scattering it?
A substance that transmits light without scattering it is called transparent. Transparent materials allow light to pass through them with minimal absorption or reflection, making them see-through or clear. Classic examples of transparent materials include glass, water, and air.
Why is visible light important?
Human eyes, and the eyes of other creatures, work on the visible light spectrum. Humans are highly dependent on their eyes. Some creatures have very primitive eyes compared with humans, and they must rely on other senses.
What can you see in a tropical rainforest?
In a tropical rainforest, you can see a dense canopy of trees, diverse plant life, colorful birds, insects, monkeys, sloths, snakes, and various other animals. The lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and unique biodiversity make tropical rainforests one of the most ecologically rich environments on Earth.

What is a reflection?
A reflection is something, such as light, that is reflected from another object. Light, sound and other forms of energy that travel in waves can be reflected from different things. We're probably most familiar with the reflection of light. If we look in a mirror, we see whatever objects are emitting or reflecting light into the mirror at an angle from the "vertical" or "straight on" direction (the normal), but on the opposite side of the angle we are looking into the mirror from.

Which light interaction explains why you can see things that do not produce their own light?
You can see things that do not produce their own light due to the interaction of light with surfaces, specifically reflection and refraction. When light from a source, such as the sun or a lamp, strikes an object, some of it is reflected off the object's surface and enters your eyes, allowing you to perceive the object. This is why we can see non-luminous objects; they simply reflect light from other sources.
What can you see your reflection in?
In a shiny pot, a shiny pan, other shiny cooking utensils and cooking-ware, a mirror, and in clear water.
What type of reflection allows us to see things around us?
The type of reflection that allows us to see things around us is called diffuse reflection. This occurs when light rays strike a rough surface and scatter in multiple directions, enabling our eyes to perceive the various objects in our environment. Smooth surfaces, like mirrors, use specular reflection, which reflects light in a uniform direction and creates clear images. However, diffuse reflection is more common in everyday situations, allowing us to see the details of our surroundings.
Can fish see their reflection in the water?
Yes, fish can see their reflection in the water.
Can fish see their reflection in a tank and how does it affect their behavior?
Yes, fish can see their reflection in a tank. Seeing their reflection may cause some fish to become territorial or aggressive, as they may perceive their reflection as a rival intruding on their territory. This can lead to increased stress and potential harm to the fish.
What do you see when you look deep into the reflection of the keyword "reflection" in your eye?
When you look deep into the reflection of the keyword "reflection" in your eye, you see a mirrored image of the word itself.
When using penguin storm will other penguins see you?
Most things on Penguin Storm are client side. Meaning, only you can see them. Some other penguins can see.
What looks back but cannot see?
reflection
Why cant you see your reflection in all objects that replect light?
You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.
