Does a microscope work due to reflection?

No, a microscope works by using lenses to bend and focus light rays on the object being observed. This allows the object to be magnified and its details to be seen more clearly. Reflection does not play a significant role in how microscopes operate.


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.


Is it true that when light passes from air to glass the light may change direction due to reflection?

It is true that light will change direction when going from one medium to another (such as going through space to going through air. Further, different wavelengths of light (different colors) will change at different angles; this is why a prism works and why the sky is blue. However, this process is called refraction, not reflection.


What microscope works by passing light through a specimen then through 2 lenses?

A compound light microscope works by passing light through a specimen and then through two lenses - an objective lens and an ocular lens. This type of microscope is commonly used in laboratories for viewing transparent or translucent specimens at high magnification.


How does mirror reflection work for kids?

Mirror reflection works the same way for kids as it does for adults. When a kid stands in front of a mirror, light bounces off them and is reflected back, creating an image. The brain processes this reflected image, allowing the kid to see their own reflection in the mirror.

When does reflection work best?

Reflection works best if it is on a smooth shiny surface.


Does reflection from an irregular surface obey the law of refraction?

Yes. The angle of reflection = the angle of incidence. This is where pictures of ray traces (see the link below) come in very handy, keeping in mind that a ray trace is a very small (the magical physics *very small*) portion of the light that is falling on the mirror at a very small period of time. It works easiest for curved mirrors if the mirror has the reflective surface on the front (where the light is coming from) so we don't have to play with the refractive equations of the intermediate media. The mathematics of the angle of incidence and reflection is fairly easy for linear equation surfaces, like shperical, parabolic and hyperbolic, but gets a little more involved for nonlinear surfaces (like wrinkled tin foil).

How does the microscope work?

A microscope works by magnetizing objects with the glass inside the lens. This lense will show you the small objects you put in containers called slides under the microscope's lens.


Why is it important for the slide to be prepared so that light passes through it?

If your microscope is a Transmission Microscope then light has to pass through the specimen (that is how the microscope works).Other kinds of microscopes may not require this.
