Why there is water droplets forming on mirror when blown?

The hot heat from the hot water turns evaporates. Once it reaches or touches a cool surface (mirror), the heat would condense and turn into water droplets. Therefore, water droplets are found in the mirror when you bath.

What does a mirror reflect facing a mirror?

A "mirror" is defined as something that reflects visible light. Therefore, two mirrors facing each other will only reflect any light that comes into contact with them, along with any visible distortions inherent to the reflecting process, such as coloration from the metal in the mirror and impurities in the glass. Given two theoretically "perfect" mirrors facing each other, the only thing reflected would be light. In the absence of friction or other interference, the light would travel infinitely and eternally. If one were able to look directly at this, one would literally just see light, as far as the eye could see. Contrary to popular belief, mirrors do not reflect images. They reflect the light coming from objects and redirect that light to the human eye, giving the impression of an "image." In reality, the eye is seeing the actual object. It's just that the light coming from the object has been redirected.


Is the glass magnifying glass the same as the glass of eyeglasses?

Yes, its just that a magnifying glass has a different prescription than eyeglasses.


What is an example of a convex mirror?

A plane mirror is a mirror with a planar reflective surface. For light rays striking a plane mirror, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. Thus a collimated beam of light does not spread out after reflection from a plane mirror, except for diffraction effects.Insertformulahere==Images== A plane mirror makes images of objects in front of it; these images appear to be behind the plane in which the mirror lies. A straight line drawn from part of an object to the corresponding part of its image makes a right angle with, and is bisected by, the surface of the plane mirror. The image formed by Insertformulahere==Images==a plane mirror is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come. However, the image is a laterally-inverted "mirror image" of the object. If a person is reflected in a plane mirror, the image of his right hand appears to be the left hand of the image.

What is mirror as it relates to physics?

A mirror is a 'reflector'. If made of of silvered glass as a common mirror, the glass surface also represents a refractive plane.


Why do the sides of a fish tank look like a mirror when observed from a specific angle?

The sides of a fish tank look like a mirror when observed from specific angles because of glass refraction. When the light is reflected off of the glass at certain angles, it looks mirror like.


What are two things that can reflect light?

mirror and glass


What makes a plane mirror a glass mirror?

A plane mirror and a glass mirror both reflect light due to their smooth and flat surfaces. The difference is in the material used to coat the back surface - a plane mirror has a thin layer of metal, while a glass mirror has a thin layer of metal deposited on the back side of the glass.


What is a smooth shiny surface that is able to reflect light?

A mirror is a smooth, shiny surface that is able to reflect light.


Is mirror metal or nonmetal?

A mirror is not classified as a metal or nonmetal because it is typically made of a thin layer of metal (such as aluminum or silver) deposited on a glass surface. The reflective properties come from the metal layer and the smooth glass surface.


How does the concept of reflection apply to the properties and functions of a mirror glass?

The concept of reflection applies to mirror glass because it allows light to bounce off the surface, creating a clear and accurate reflection of objects. The smooth surface of mirror glass helps to reflect light in a way that preserves the shape and color of the objects being reflected.


What is plate mirror?

A plate mirror is a type of mirror that is made by pouring glass onto a flat surface and then polishing it to create a reflective surface on one side. It is also known as a flat mirror and is commonly used in homes, bathrooms, and furniture.


What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror at an angle?

they are reflected at an equal opposing angle on a first-surface mirror. on a second surface (bathroom mirror) they are also reflected, but some are absorbed/disbursed by impurities and inconsistencies in the glass.


Is a mirror made out of sand?

No, a mirror is typically made out of glass with a reflective coating applied to the back surface. Sand is not translucent or reflective enough to function as a mirror.


Is mirror a matter?

A mirror is usually made from a glass sheet backed by a silvered surface - though highly polished metal can also be used. Therefore, a mirror is matter.
