If a black coloured glass absorbs all light falling on it how is it possible to view refelcted images from a blackened glass surface?

There are few things that are perfectly black. You can see many things, with detail, that are colored black. Obviously whatever you see is reflected light, light not being absorbed by the object. The reflection you see from the blackened glass is probably light coming off the glass itself, which remains uncolored, if you think about it. The color cuts down on interference from objects that would otherwise show through the glass. It is not absorbing all light. The reflected images are light it is reflecting back. When it looks black however it is not reflecting light into your eyes.


Why does foil paper shine in the dark?

Foil paper appears shiny in the dark because it reflects the light from other sources, such as ambient light or artificial light nearby. It does not produce its own light.


Why does water seem to shimmer when the sun is shineing?

When sunlight hits the surface of water, it gets reflected and refracted due to the ripples and waves on the surface. This causes light to scatter in various directions, creating a shimmering effect. Additionally, the movement of water causes the reflection of the sunlight to constantly change, adding to the shimmering appearance.

Why does a mirror get moist if a room's temperature is high?

If you turn up the heat in a room, that won't necessarily cause condensation to form on mirrors in the room. The formation of tiny water droplets on the mirror depends upon how humid the air is to begin with, what the temperature of the glass is compared to the nearby air, and how clean or dirty the glass is. (Condensation has a hard time forming on clean glass.) If the room heated up very quickly, much faster than the mirror, then condensation could form on the glass. If you happen to bring a cold mirror into a warm, humid room, then condensation will form on the mirror. Or if you introduce steam or water vapor into a room, as when you turn on the hot water in the shower, condensation may form on the mirrors in the bathroom. In both cases, the condensation forms not because the temperature in the room is high but because the temperature of the air close to the glass is much cooler than the air in the rest of the room. Since cool air cannot hold as much water vapor as warm air, the water vapor precipitates out of the air and forms microscopic liquid water droplets on tiny pieces of dust on the glass.

What does sunlight mean?

It means it has reflected off something else. This could be nearby walls, buildings, the moon or the atmosphere for example.


Where does the water on the mirror come from?

The water on a mirror usually comes from condensation, where moisture in the air comes into contact with the mirror's cool surface and forms tiny water droplets. This often happens when warm, humid air from a shower or a nearby source meets the cooler mirror surface.

Why does moist in the mirror after you blow it?

The moist you are talking about is nothing but the water vapour that one releases, every time one exhales. As already know, when we breathe in, the air that enters gets humidified as it passes through the nasal passages. Hence, the air exhaled, or breathed out, contains considerable percentage of water vapour. Now, this water vapour exhaled out, initially is at body temperature, i.e., 37.5*C. On coming out through exhalation, the vapour soon cools down and condenses on the nearby mirror glass surface. Hence, the moist is seen.


What does it mean when a mirror fall for no reason?

When a mirror falls for no reason, it could simply be due to it not being properly secured or installed. It may also be caused by vibrations from nearby traffic or construction. In some cultures, it is considered a sign of bad luck or that something negative is about to happen.


Why convex mirror used as driving mirror?

Convex mirrors are used as driving mirrors because they provide a wider field of view, making it easier for drivers to see more of the surrounding traffic and environment. The curved shape of the mirror helps to minimize blind spots and improve awareness of nearby vehicles, enhancing overall safety while driving.
