When light hits a mirror, it is reflected back in a predictable manner called the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (reflected light). This is why we see our reflection when looking at a mirror.

Can mirrors reflect light?

Yes. Mirrors reflect all wavelengths of visible light and possibly some infrared or ultraviolet.


What surfaces does light reflect off of?

Light can reflect off of smooth, shiny surfaces like mirrors, glass, and metal. It can also reflect off of rough surfaces, but in multiple directions, creating diffuse reflection.


What color are mirrors and how do they reflect light?

Mirrors are typically silver in color and reflect light by bouncing it off their smooth surface at the same angle it hits the mirror.


Why does light reflect off of mirrors?

Light reflects off of mirrors because mirrors have a smooth and shiny surface that causes light waves to bounce back in a predictable way, creating a clear reflection.


Does mirrors reflect sound?

No, mirrors do not reflect sound. Mirrors reflect light waves, but sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. Sound waves do not bounce off mirrors as they are not capable of reflecting sound.


Do mirrors reflect without light?

Mirrors reflect whether there is anything to reflect at the minute. Beside light they can also reflect heat radiation.


Do mirrors absorbe light?

No, mirrors reflect the light instead of absorbing it.


How do mirrors and lenses compare in their interaction with light?

Mirrors reflect light; lenses do not. APEX 0-0


Do mirrors reflect or refract light?

Mirrors reflect light. A mirror's smooth surface allows light to bounce off of it in a predictable manner, resulting in a clear reflection of an object. Refraction of light occurs when light passes through a transparent material and changes speed, causing the light to bend.


What does a mirror reflect In a dark room?

In a dark room, a mirror will not reflect anything because there is no light for it to bounce off of and create a reflection. Mirrors require light to reflect images.


What does a room made of all mirrors reflect?

Nothing ,if it is made of mirrors there would be no light to reflect !
