No,that is reflection. Refraction is when light travels through something clear like water or glass and then the lihght bends and maybe even makes a rainbow

concave mirror, like those found in makeup mirrors or reflecting telescopes.


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.


What is the relationship between the index of refraction and the reflection properties of a mirror?

The index of refraction affects the reflection properties of a mirror by determining how much light is reflected and how much is transmitted through the mirror. A higher index of refraction results in more light being reflected, while a lower index of refraction allows more light to pass through the mirror.


What is Refracting and Reflecting?

Reflection: light bounces off of a surface, like a mirror.Refraction: light goes through a substance and bends. For example, white light through a prism comes out in a rainbow because the light is refracted or bent and each color has a different index of refraction.

Is a bird looking at a mirror an example of light being refracted?

No, a bird looking at a mirror is an example of light being reflected, not refracted. When light hits the mirror, it bounces off in a different direction but does not change mediums. Refraction is when light passes through different mediums and changes direction.


A mirror with a reflecting surface that caves inward is said to be?

A CONCAVE mirror is a mirror with a reflecting surface that curves inward.


Is a light bulb an example of reflection or refraction?

A light bulb provides light through emission of photons due to electrical energy, and is not directly related to reflection or refraction. However, when light emitted by the bulb interacts with a mirror, it undergoes reflection, while when it passes through a lens or prism, it undergoes refraction.


What is the verb for reflect?
