As you know that there are three types of light waves i.e infrared light, visible light and ultra violet light. Out of these, only visible light rays (waves) gets reflected by the mirror but the other two light waves passes through the mirror.

What do mirrors and other objects do pertaining to light?

Mirrors and other objects reflect light, though most objects absorb some wave lengths and reflect others and black absorbs all wavelengths and white reflects all wavelengths.


Do mirrors absorbe light?

No, mirrors reflect the light instead of absorbing it.


What is the bouncing of a wave?

The bouncing of a wave occurs when the wave encounters a boundary or obstacle and is reflected back in the opposite direction. This reflection can result in interference patterns and changes in the wave's properties. Examples include sound waves bouncing off walls or light waves bouncing off mirrors.


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

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


What type of optical telescopes use mirrors to focus light?

concave mirrors, and curved mirrors


Can mirrors reflect light?

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


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.


How do convex mirrors works?

The amount of bending, or angle of refraction, of the light wave depends on how much the material slows down the light. Diamonds would not be so glittery if they did not slow down incoming light much more thanThe amount of bending


What type of wave is a light wave an example of?

Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.


What type of wave does light travel as?

A sonic wave.


How does light behave when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors?

Light can be refracted, reflected, or dispersed when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors. Convex lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light. Concave and convex mirrors reflect light in different ways: convex mirrors diverge light, creating a virtual image, while concave mirrors can converge light, creating a real image.
