When warm, moist air comes into contact with a cool surface, such as a mirror, the air near the surface cools down. If the air is saturated with moisture, the cooling causes some of the water vapor in the air to condense into tiny water droplets, creating fog or mist on the mirror.

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 happens when water vapour touches the mirror?

When water vapor touches a mirror, it condenses into liquid water due to the temperature difference between the vapor and the mirror surface. This condensation creates a thin film of water droplets on the mirror's surface, causing it to appear foggy or misty.


Can a plane mirror form real and inverted image?

No, a plane mirror can only form virtual and upright images. The image produced by a plane mirror appears to be behind the mirror, the same distance as the object in front of the mirror, and is always the same size as the object.


Describe the image form mirror by a plane mirror?

The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, upright, and the same size as the object. The image appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror. The orientation of the image is laterally inverted, meaning left and right are switched.


Can plane mirror form real image?

No, a plane mirror cannot form a real image. It forms a virtual image that appears to be behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of it.

Why do small droplets of water form on the mirror after you shower?

This usually happens after a hot or warm shower because the water vapour in the air becomes a liquid again. It condenses on your mirror. Condensation is taking place!


What is the verb form of vapour?

How the water vapour condenses on the mirror?

When the warm water vapor in the air comes into contact with the cool surface of the mirror, it loses heat energy. As a result, the water vapor cools down and changes from a gas to a liquid, forming tiny water droplets on the mirror. This process is called condensation.


How does plants helps in rains?

Is water vapor in the solid form?

No, water vapour is not in the solid form. Water vapour is the gas form of water and is represented chemically as H2O(g) where the (g) stands for gas.
