Light bounces off a mirror due to the reflection property; the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. When you look at a mirror, the light reflected from the mirror's surface travels into your eyes, allowing you to see the image of yourself or objects in front of the mirror.

What happens when light hits mirror?
When light hits a mirror, it is reflected back at the same angle it came in, known as the law of reflection. This causes the mirror to create a clear image of the surrounding objects if you place them in front of it.
Which property of light allows you to see yourself in a mirror?
That it reflects from smooth conductors with a fixed direction. For your eyes to see an image, the light comming from a certain direction should all originate from the same point on your body, such as is the case when reflected waves have a fixed direction. If they are random, then light from any point on your body, when hitting the mirror, goes into any direction and you don't see an image.
How does light react with the mirrors?
Light is reflected off mirrors due to the smooth surface of the mirror causing light to bounce back at the same angle it hits the mirror. This reflection of light is what allows us to see our reflections in mirrors.
What is refraction What is reflection?
Reflection: light bounces off of a surface, like a mirror.Refraction: light goes through a substance and bends. For example, white light through a prism comes out in a rainbow because the light is refracted or bent and each color has a different index of refraction.
How image is formed by a plane mirror?
A plane mirror forms an image that is virtual, upright, and laterally inverted compared to the object. The image is located the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. The size of the image is equal to the size of the object.
Why do you see your self in the mirror?
Mirrors have a special surface, usually at the back, that reflects light. This means that light that strikes the mirror's special surface bounces back. Light coming from you goes to the mirror's surface, bounces back and some of that light enters your eyes so that you are able to see your own image.
How does a mirror work so you can see yourself?
Light bounces off of you, and you absorb some of it. The light that you don't absorb bounces off in a lots of directions. If you are standing near a mirror, some of that light that bounced off you hits the mirror. Mirrors don't absorb any of the light, they reflect it, so all the light bounces again, back at you. The light that goes into your eyes is what you see.
Why does a periscope need two mirrors at a 45 degree angle?
Because the bottem mirror which is set and 45 degrees the light bounces off of and goes up at exactly 90 degrees that light then bounces off the top mirror and out a hole for you to look through.
Why are you unable to non- luminous objects in a dark box?
Because light can't directly reach the objects, or reflect well off the inside walls of the box. So not enough light bounces off the walls, then bounces off the objects, and then goes to your eyes.
What is an example of radiation and reflection together?
-- You walk into the bathroom at night, turn the light on, and admire yourself in the mirror.-- The light bulb radiates light, which goes all over the place. Some of the lightreflects from your face toward the mirror, then reflects back from the mirror toyour eyes, and you "see" your face "in" the mirror.
What is the direction of light when it travels to your eye when you look at the bottom of the glass?
I think that it goes straight so the light lets say you're barthroom and it hits you're mirror and the light goes staright in a line into you're eyes
What is Refracting and Reflecting?
Reflection: light bounces off of a surface, like a mirror.Refraction: light goes through a substance and bends. For example, white light through a prism comes out in a rainbow because the light is refracted or bent and each color has a different index of refraction.
Where does the light from the moon come from?
it comes from the sun. The sunlight reflects off of the moons surface, and goes to your eyes.
Why are you unable to see non- luminous objects in a dark box?
Because light can't directly reach the objects, or reflect well off the inside walls of the box. So not enough light bounces off the walls, then bounces off the objects, and then goes to your eyes.
How does light travel from a source to your eyes?
the light goes into your pupiuls
What makes your eye see?
We see color because of white light. White light either goes into it or bounces off so if your wearing a light colored shirt not much is going in it but if your wearing a dark colored shirt not much bonces off. In otherwords white light "toys" with your rods and your eyes see color!
