Why can you see your reflection in a car after it has been washed and waxed?
It depends on the car. A2 A rough surface scatters reflected light in all directions, it is harder to make out an image. A polished surface evens out surface, so that reflected light behaves more like a mirror. The wax fits into the irregularities in the paint finish. Polishing then makes this flat. For a correct image to be seen, the surface must reflect the light, back the way it came, insted of at an angle.
Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image?
A reflecting telescope "Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image".
How can a shadow be reflected?
It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.
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 it called when an image appears on a surface?
Reflection?
When light is reflected from a rough surface the reflected light does what while producing no image?
Bounces off
Would plastic bottle produce reflected image?
No, a plastic bottle would not produce a reflected image because its surface is not reflective like a mirror. It would only produce a distorted or blurry reflection due to its curved surface.
How are images formed on the concave side of a shiny spoon?
When light rays hit the concave side of a shiny spoon, they are reflected and converge to form an upright, virtual, and magnified image. This image appears behind the spoon's reflective surface, in the same orientation as the object being reflected.
Why do you see your reflection when you look in a mirror and not when you look at a book?
The image is reflected from a reflective object, in this case [your mirror], as a Book is not a mirror, it is not reflected.
Why do you not see your reflected image when you look at 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.
Why are image reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth surface?
Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.
What is light bouncing back from the surface of a mirror?
Light bouncing back from the surface of a mirror is called reflection. When light hits a mirror, it is reflected off the smooth surface at the same angle it came in, resulting in an image being formed. Mirrors are used in many applications such as telescopes and microscopes because of their reflective properties.
Between a mirror and non reflective surface?
A mirror reflects light, creating a clear image, while a non-reflective surface absorbs or scatters light, making the image unclear or nonexistent. Mirrors have a smooth surface that bounces light back in a predictable manner, while a non-reflective surface lacks this smoothness and causes light to scatter randomly.
Why don't you see your reflected image when you look in a white rough surface?
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.
How do reflected rays form and image in a mirror?
Reflected rays bounce off the mirror surface at the same angle they hit it, preserving the direction of the light beams. When many reflected rays converge at a single point, they form an image of the object due to the reflection properties of the mirror. This creates a virtual image that appears to be located behind the mirror surface.
What image is formed in diffused reflection?
In diffused reflection, light is reflected in random directions by a rough or irregular surface. This results in the formation of a blurred or fuzzy image as the reflected light rays are scattered.
Why do You not see your image when you look at a flat rough aluminum surface because why?
When you look at a flat rough aluminum surface, your image is not visible because the surface is not smooth and reflective enough to create a clear reflection of light. The roughness and imperfections in the surface scatter the light that hits it, preventing a clear image from forming.
