What is the place at which rays of light meet or appear to meet after being reflected or refracted by a mirror or lens?
The point at which rays of light converge or appear to converge after being reflected or refracted by a mirror or lens is called the focal point.
Can your shadow be reflected in the mirror?
No, your shadow cannot be reflected in a mirror. A mirror can only reflect light that is directly shone on it, whereas a shadow is an absence of light being cast by an object blocking light sources.
Will a concave or a convex mirror make you larger?
A concave mirror will make you appear larger. The mirror curves inward, causing light rays to converge and creating a magnified image of the object being reflected.
Light rays that hit a convex mirror as they are reflected?
Light rays that hit a convex mirror are reflected and diverge. The reflected rays appear to originate from a point behind the mirror known as the focal point. This causes the image formed by a convex mirror to be virtual, upright, and diminished in size.
Would the reflected image from a concave mirror be brighter or darker than the original image?
It would depend on the distance of the object from the mirror. If the object is close to the mirror, the reflected image may appear brighter due to magnification. However, if the object is far from the mirror, the reflected image may appear darker due to spread out light rays.

What is A point where light waves appear to meet after being reflected by a mirror or lens?
The focal point

What are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow
What is happening to light when it is being reflected?
The light bends. Depending on whether it is a concave or convex mirror, the light is either being refracted or reflected

What is a line of reflection?
A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface.

Define the principal focus of a concave mirror?
The principal focus of a concave mirror is the specific point where parallel rays of light converge or appear to diverge after being reflected. It is located halfway between the mirror's surface and its center of curvature.
Creates an image that appears behind the mirror as light bounces back and forth between the mirror and the object being reflected?
The image that appears behind the mirror is the result of multiple reflections of the object in the mirror. As light bounces back and forth between the mirror and the object, the reflected image gets dimmer with each reflection due to light absorption and dispersion. The final image appears as a faint, ghostly replica of the object being reflected.
What colour is a mirror and why does it appear that way?
A mirror does not have a color of its own. It appears to be the color of whatever is reflected in it. This is because a mirror reflects light, rather than emitting its own color.
