The definition of "Medium" is the material that something is made of. So, a mirror can be made of any material that can be polished enough to be reflective. For example, Metal, Plastic, Glass, even Water can have mirror properties.

How does image formed by plane mirror?

A highly polishes plane surface which reflects light regularly is called a plane mirror. Image is formed as the light returns to the first medium when it just falls on the other surface of the second medium.

How does total internal reflection occur when light is reflected from a plane mirror?

Total internal reflection occurs when light is reflected from a plane mirror at an angle greater than the critical angle. This critical angle is the angle at which light traveling from a denser medium to a less dense medium is reflected back into the denser medium instead of refracting out.


How can light reflect off a mirror?

By 'Atomic Scattering', which is the absorption and re-emission of light energy by the particles of a medium which will not absorb the energy. It depends if the mirror is concave or convex. The light reflects differently depending on the type of mirror.


Is light bouncing off a mirror reflected or refracted?

Light bouncing off a mirror is reflected. Reflection is when the light bounces off a shiny surface back to your eye while refraction is when the light changes direction when passing from one medium to another medium of different optical density.


What effect does a plane mirror have on the speed of light?

A mirror has no effect on the speed of light, but it has a radical effect on thevelocity of the wavefront, because it reverses the direction of the normalcomponent of the velocity.


Does the focal length of a spherical mirror change if immersed in water?

No, the focal length of a spherical mirror does not change when immersed in water. The change in medium from air to water affects the refractive index and the speed of light, but it does not affect the focal length of the mirror.


What happened when light strikes at the mirror?

it reflects of the mirror. a very small part of light is absorbed by the mirror a rest of it is reflected back in the same medium . following the 1st law of reflection , a ray of light falling on a mirror is reflected back making an equal with the "Imaginery normal to the point of incidence."


Why does the focal length of a mirror not depend on the mirror material when the focal length of a lens does depend on the lens material?

The focal length for a mirror is determined by the law of reflection from the mirror surface. This law is not governed by the material that the mirror is made by. This means that the focal length depends only on the radius and curvature. Conversely, the focal length of a lens depends on the indices of refraction of the lens meterial and the surrounding medium.


Does a mirror work due to refracted light?

No, a mirror works by reflecting light. When light hits the smooth surface of a mirror, it bounces off in a predictable way, creating an image of what is in front of it. Refraction occurs when light passes through a transparent medium and changes speed, such as in glass or water.
