The law of reflection is based on the basic laws of physics. The reflectivity of a surface depends on how flat the surface is and the smoothness of the individual particles. For instance, a stop sign is made of particles that have several reflective surfaces, and thus it reflects in several controlled directions. A mirror coated with silver is an extremely flat surface and reflects in only one direction. Given the right conditions (temperature, light frequency, air density, etc) all surfaces are reflective, hence the mirage in the desert may be a lake or mouontain that is hundreds of miles away. Everything has a reflection, except vampires, you just have to be at the proper angle for the materials involved.

Why cant you see your reflection on a wall?

You cannot see your reflection on a wall because walls are not reflective surfaces like mirrors. Mirrors are specially designed to reflect light in a way that creates an image of the objects in front of them, whereas walls are generally not designed to reflect light in the same way.


Why cant you see a clear image of yourself on a rough surface?

Rough surfaces scatter light rays in different directions, causing reflections to get distorted. This scattering prevents a clear image from forming because the reflection is not coherent or organized. Smooth surfaces, like mirrors, reflect light rays in an organized manner, allowing a clear image to be seen.


Why cant we see reflection in a cardboard?

Cardboard is an opaque material, meaning it does not allow light to pass through. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, but since cardboard does not transmit light, there is no surface for light to bounce off of in order to create a reflection.


Why cant objects be clearly seen through translucent objects?

Translucent objects allow some light to pass through them, but they scatter the light in different directions, making it difficult for the eye to distinguish the details of objects behind them. This scattering effect causes the objects to appear blurred or fuzzy when viewed through translucent materials.


Why cant you pull objects with sound?

Sound waves do not contain physical force or energy to exert a pulling effect on objects. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through a medium, like air, but they do not possess the necessary properties to physically move objects through pulling.
