No , mirror doesnot experience any force while reflecting the light as force is mass to the product of accelaration as photons have no mass the equation becomes 0

;):):):)

=================================

Answer #2:

Answer #1 is internally logical, logically consistent, and consistently wrong.

Nobody ever said that photons have no mass. It's true that they have no

rest-mass, but they're never at rest. They're always traveling at the speed

of light, where they do have mass, as well as momentum and kinetic energy ...

the whole package.

I don't think we can calculate the force on the mirror from the light's power.

But we could if we knew the light's momentum, because we know that the

momentum [vector] must be conserved at the reflection, and since the

direction of the light changes, the mirror must acquire some momentum

to compensate ... in the form of impulse F·t since the mirror is fixed.

Light doesn't reflect light, nor does any other electromagnetic radiation.


What does a mirror do on a compound light microscope?

A mirror on a compound light microscope reflects light from an external source, such as a lamp or sunlight, onto the specimen being observed. This helps to illuminate the specimen and improve visibility for better observation and analysis under the microscope.


Is Jupiter a source of light?

No, Jupiter is not a source of light. It reflects light from the Sun, making it visible from Earth.


What is the use of mirror to microscope?

A compound microscope can either have a light bulb or a mirror for illumination. If your microscope has a mirror, then you need sunlight or some other light source to point at the mirror to view your slide.The mirror is used to focus light up through the hole in the microscope's stage, or slide platform. The slides will contain a thin slice of material through which the light can shine, to reveal the internal structure of the sample.=========================================Mirrors on the exterior of microscopes are there to reflect ambient light (especially sunlight) under the slide being viewed to illuminate it. These are necessary for microscopes that don't have their own light sources.Mirrors in the interior of the microscope are there to redirect the optics and make the microscope more compact or to facilitate making the microscope binocular.


What is the Illuminating parts of compound microscope?

A compound microscope can either have a light bulb or a mirror. If yours has a light bulb, turn it on to view your slide. You can't use the light in your room or lab to view your slide, because you will block all that light when you use the microscope. If your microscope has a mirror then you might need a another light source to point at the mirror to view your slide.

How does the mirror in the torch help you see in the dark?

The mirror in a torch (flashlight) reflects and redirects the light from the bulb in the desired direction, illuminating the darkness. By angling the mirror, you can control where the light shines, allowing you to see better in the dark. The mirror helps maximize the effectiveness of the light source.

Can you tell me how to use a mirror vertically for better lighting in a room?

To use a mirror vertically for better lighting in a room, position the mirror opposite a window or a light source to reflect and distribute the light more evenly throughout the space. Adjust the angle of the mirror to maximize the amount of light it reflects into the room.
