Mirrors have a smooth surface that allows light to bounce off at the same angle it hits, creating a clear reflection. Other materials may have rough or uneven surfaces that scatter the light in different directions, resulting in a less coherent reflection. Mirrors also have a thin layer of metal (such as aluminum or silver) that enhances their reflective properties.

How does light reflect of a convex mirror?
Light rays striking a convex mirror are reflected away from each other due to the outward curve of the mirror. The reflected rays diverge and do not converge to a focal point, resulting in an upright and diminished virtual image.
What do mirrors do to light wave?
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.
Why can you see you reflection in places other than the mirror?
Lots of objects can reflect an image. A mirror is simply a surface specially prepared to reflect much better than the average surface. The way light reflects off certain surfaces can produce an image.
What 2 non luminous things that light is bouncing of?
Moon: The moon appears to emit light because it reflects sunlight, making it a non-luminous object. Mirror: Mirrors do not produce light on their own but reflect light from other sources, making them non-luminous objects that can bounce light.
Is a mirror a natural source of light?
A mirror is not a source of light, natural or otherwise.
What does a mirror do on a microscope if there isn't a light?
it's supposed to reflect sunlight (or other light sources) into the lens.
Type of light source that reflects light rays?
Light doesn't reflect light, nor does any other electromagnetic radiation.
How can you reflect?
you can reflect in thought, or reflect some thing in a Mirror. There's other ways to reflect to.

Scientifically How are images formed in a mirror?
Anything and everything you see is light. We are surrounded by white light. It is in a way wrong to actually say that a car is green and a bus is yellow.. The point here is that the light is a spectrum of different colours, that together makes white. When a green car looks green to us, that mean that it actually absorb the other colors of the white spectrum, hence only reflecting green. Exactly the same with any other object. All colours looks like they do because of their ability to absorb the other colors of the spectrum of light. A mirror on the other hand simply reflect 90-99% of the light that hits it, hence we se a reflection in it. The better mirror, the better reflection.
What happens when 2 mirrors face each other?
If something is between them, each one will reflect the other mirror and the object between it. The first mirror will reflect the second mirror which is reflecting the first mirror, therefore the first mirror will show itself, making kind of an infinite tunnel of mirrors. There is the reflection quality to consider. The reflected image whould dim out after enough bounces.

What if lightning struck a concave mirror?
If lightning were to strike a concave mirror, the mirror would reflect the light just like any other object. However, since mirrors are designed to reflect light, the lightning strike would likely not cause any damage to the mirror itself. It is important to note that lightning strikes can be dangerous and should be avoided whenever possible.
Do mirrors reflect all forms of electromagnetic radiation and if yes or no why?
The answer is "not all". Mirrors of various types reflect electromagnetic radiation, but only in given frequencies depending on the materials from which the mirror is made. Mirrored glass or metal can reflect heat as well as light, but some absorption occurs. Radio waves and microwaves also impart energy rather than reflect, and gamma rays could either penetrate into the mirror or pass completely through.
Is a mirror a natural source of light?
A mirror is not a source of light, natural or otherwise.
