Water can act as a mirror due to its smooth surface that reflects light. When light hits the surface of water at a certain angle, it is reflected back, creating a mirror-like effect. This phenomenon is known as specular reflection.

Can a convex mirror act as concave mirror?

If this mirror is reflective on both sides, then it can be both concave and convex. Otherwise, the two cannot act like one another.


Why can you see a trees reflection in water if the water is still but not when the water is disturbed?

Water can act like a mirror, but for you to see something in a mirror it has to be big enough, and angled in the right direction. Disturbed water will act like lots of small mirrors, pointing in every direction possible. Like trying to see something reflected in a disco ball.


Is water a reflector?

Water can act as a reflector for light waves due to its smooth surface and high density. When light hits the surface of water at an angle, it can reflect and create mirror-like reflections.


Can a concave mirror act as a convex mirror?

No, a concave mirror and a convex mirror have different curvatures and focal points. A concave mirror reflects light inward, converging it to a focal point, while a convex mirror reflects light outward, diverging it. They cannot interchange their functions.


Why does your mirror steam when im in the bath?

It's called condensation, steam from the hot water in the bath turns back to water when it touches the mirror covering the mirror in a thin layer of water.

What happens when water vapour touches the mirror?

When water vapor touches a mirror, it condenses into liquid water due to the temperature difference between the vapor and the mirror surface. This condensation creates a thin film of water droplets on the mirror's surface, causing it to appear foggy or misty.


Why does the mirror fog up when you breathe out on it?

When you breathe out on a mirror, the warm water vapor in your breath comes into contact with the cool surface of the mirror. This temperature difference causes the water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets, creating the foggy effect on the mirror.


Does a water bubble act as a lens or a mirror?

A water bubble acts as a lens due to its curved surface that can refract light. This refraction can cause light to converge or diverge depending on the shape and thickness of the bubble, similar to how a convex or concave lens functions.


How the water vapour condenses on the mirror?

When the warm water vapor in the air comes into contact with the cool surface of the mirror, it loses heat energy. As a result, the water vapor cools down and changes from a gas to a liquid, forming tiny water droplets on the mirror. This process is called condensation.


Is there another word for mirror?

mirror, as in the noun/object: looking glass, hand glass, seeing glass mirror, as in the verb: reflect, copy, act like, mimic, emulate.


What if you like someone and they act like they like you to what does that mean?

You are looking in a mirror.
