You can see yourself in smooth and polished surfaces because the surface is clean and not blurry. Also, you can't see yourself in certain smooth and polished surfaces, such as tan desks.

Do suction cups stick on wood?

Yes, suction cups can stick to wood surfaces. However, the effectiveness of the suction cup may depend on the type of wood, its finish, and how smooth the surface is. Rough or porous wood surfaces may not provide a good seal for the suction cup.


Do smooth surface produce friction?

Yes, smooth surfaces can still produce friction. Friction is caused by the resistance between two surfaces when they are in contact with each other, not only by the texture of the surfaces. Smooth surfaces can still generate friction, although the amount of friction may be lower compared to rough surfaces.


Why do polished surfaces stick together?

The cause behind this phenomena that so many shop and maintenance trainers can't explain is caused by the Van der Waals force. This has only been proven to be factual in the last decade after better understanding of quantum dynamics. This is due to attraction or the opposing forces at the molecular level. Years ago this was one of those phenomena that no one could explain and trainers would ask there students to demonstrate what seemed to be magic. Only through test that are able to be performed now through advanced technology that this has proven to be fact.


What is a surface from which light will bounce back?

it is the one and only thing that causes the light to bounce back and it is known as the one and only thing.......... Actually not thing but yes............., no................ Leave it. The thing is REFLECTION. Ya, my dear and dearest friends it is REFLECTION.


Do only shiny objects reflect light?

No, all objects reflect light to some degree, both shiny and non-shiny. Shiny objects tend to reflect more light due to their smooth and polished surfaces, while non-shiny objects may reflect less light and appear duller because of their rough or textured surfaces.

What metamorphic rock is made from limestone that is smooth and contains shiny crystals?

Marble. The crystals are ofcalcite (calcium carbonate). It's only smooth when polished, but it takes a high polish.


Does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?

Highly polished, shiny surfaces reflect light the best as they are REFLECTive. White or bright surfaces also reflect light well. Dull, Matt surfaces are the worst reflecters of light


Is marble shiny?

Yes, marble is naturally shiny due to its smooth and reflective surface. However, the level of shine can vary depending on the finish applied to the marble, such as polished, honed, or matte finishes.

What are smooth rocks that have been worn down by water?

Essentially, the only types of rock that can stand up to this type of erosion are igneous and metamorphic rocks. I am not certain there is a technical or scientific term for this type of rock, but the colloquial or "slang" term for them is river rocks.
