Gamma rays have a very short wavelength, which means they are absorbed by the material of the mirror instead of being reflected. Additionally, the high energy of gamma rays allows them to penetrate through most materials without being reflected. Lastly, the atomic structure of the mirror's surface does not provide a suitable mechanism for reflecting gamma rays.

Why does the mirror reflect light weel?

Mirrors have a smooth surface that is able to reflect light well because the surface is able to bounce light rays off it in a way that preserves the image. The smooth surface minimizes scattering of light, allowing most of the light to be reflected back in a clear and organized manner.


What is a smooth shiny surface that is able to reflect light?

A mirror is a smooth, shiny surface that is able to reflect light.


Do any gamma rays at all make it to the surface of Earth?

Almost all gamma rays are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, or deflected by the magnetosphere, but some do manage to get through. Those that reach the surface of the Earth are mostly secondary comic rays, which are produced when gamma rays or primary cosmic rays hit the top of the atmosphere.


Objects that are good reflectors of light?

Some good reflectors of light include metals like silver, aluminum, and copper, as well as materials with a smooth and shiny surface such as mirrors and glass. These materials are able to reflect light due to their high reflectivity and smooth surfaces.


Can we see a mirror in a dark room?

No, you would not be able to see a mirror in a dark room as mirrors require light to reflect an image. Without light, the mirror cannot reflect any visual information back to your eyes.


How are concave and convex mirrors similar?

Concave and convex mirrors both reflect light to form images. They can both produce real and virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. Additionally, both mirrors obey the laws of reflection.


Do mirrors work in outer space?

Yes, mirrors work in outer space. They reflect light just like they do on Earth. However, objects placed in front of a mirror in space may not appear as they do on Earth due to the lack of atmosphere and different lighting conditions.


What is the significance of mirrors being covered on Good Friday?

witches are supposed to be able to "scry" using mirrors, being able to look in other peoples mirrors using their own. try reading the spooks apprentice ^_^


What is a very smooth surface able to clearly reflect light to form a virtual image?

A mirror with a very smooth surface can reflect light to form a virtual image. When light waves hit the mirror, they bounce off at the same angle they hit, creating a clear reflection that appears to be behind the mirror, producing a virtual image.


Are eagles able to see gamma ray light wavelengths?

No living thing can "see" (or otherwise sense) gamma rays.


How can you see objects in a mirror?

Most objects we use in daily life ( as smooth as they seem) are actually fairly rugged. Mirrors, are almost completely flat and smooth making them able to reflect the light that reflects off of you perfectly (or the object you are viewing)


Why are some objects reflective when absorb light ray?

Some objects are reflective because their surface allows light to bounce off rather than being absorbed. Smooth and shiny surfaces, like mirrors, reflect light well because the photons are not able to penetrate the material and are instead reflected back in a predictable manner. This reflection creates the appearance of the object being reflective.
