No, mirrors do not allow light to pass through. They reflect light, resulting in a specular reflection where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This is how mirrors create images.

Why isn't a mirror a transparent object?

A mirror is not a transparent object because it does not allow light to pass through. Instead, a mirror reflects light, creating an image of the objects in front of it. Transparent objects, like glass, allow light to pass through with minimal reflection or distortion.


Is a mirror tranparent translucent or opaque?

A mirror is opaque because it does not allow light to pass through it. Instead, it reflects light, which is why we can see our reflection in it.


Is a mirror selectively permeable?

Why does mirror shines?

The reflection of light from surface of a mirror makes it shining. When the light passes through glass, it does not shine. When one side of this glass is covered by a substance that does not allow light to pass through, the light gets reflected and it shines.

Why can you see through a window but not a mirror?

You can see through a window because it is made of transparent material that allows light to pass through. A mirror, on the other hand, has a reflective surface that bounces light back into your eyes, creating a reflection of yourself or your surroundings.


What type of material always lets light pass through it?

transparent surfaces, allow light to pass through, translucent surfaces allow SOME light to pass through and opaque surfaces DO NOT allow any light to pass through


What is formed when an object which does not allow light to pass through is in the path of light?

Depends on the surface of the object that the light is projected on. If the object has a polished surface like an inoxidable steel, or the object is a mirror, the light will produce a reflexion or the light comes back when it hits the mirror. Behind any object, is formed a shadow, since such object is not a glass.


What material does not allow light to pass through it?

Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them.
