A mirror is a good reflector because its surface is smooth and polished, allowing light to bounce off it in a regular pattern. This results in a clear and sharp reflection of images. Mirror surfaces are designed to minimize light absorption and maximize light reflection, making them efficient reflectors.
What else can I help you with?
Name the type of a reflector with a smooth surface?
A reflector with a smooth surface is typically known as a specular reflector. This type of reflector reflects light in a single, predictable direction without scattering or diffusing it.
Is water a good or poor reflector of light?
Water is a poor reflector of light. It allows light to pass through easily, resulting in limited reflection. This is why bodies of water appear transparent or clear, rather than reflective like a mirror.
Name a type of reflector with a smooth surface?
A parabolic reflector is a type of reflector with a smooth surface that can collect and reflect light or sound waves to a single focal point.
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 an object be both a good absorber and good reflector at the same time why or why not?
No, you can be both good and evil. This is the same concept. The object is either a good absorber or a good reflector, and can not be both. Black is a good absorber, white is a good reflector.
What makes a good reflector?
mirror
What it is a good reflector of light?
plane mirror
What is a good reflector of light?
A mirror is a good reflector of light because it has a smooth and highly reflective surface that bounces light rays off at equal angles, resulting in a clear reflection.
What is a reflector of light?
A mirror, or the shiny side of tin foil
Name the type of a reflector with a smooth surface?
A reflector with a smooth surface is typically known as a specular reflector. This type of reflector reflects light in a single, predictable direction without scattering or diffusing it.
What are the lenses called in a reflector telescope?
The lenses used in reflector telescope is the concave lens.
What is a reflector that uses a secondary mirror to reflect light to the side of the telescope called?
The small mirror is a plane one reflecting a bundle of rays to the side of the main tube. That is a Newtonian reflector.
Is water a good or poor reflector of light?
Water is a poor reflector of light. It allows light to pass through easily, resulting in limited reflection. This is why bodies of water appear transparent or clear, rather than reflective like a mirror.
Name a type of reflector with a smooth surface?
A parabolic reflector is a type of reflector with a smooth surface that can collect and reflect light or sound waves to a single focal point.
What is mirror as it relates to physics?
A mirror is a 'reflector'. If made of of silvered glass as a common mirror, the glass surface also represents a refractive plane.
What kind of telescope uses a single large parabolic mirror to gather and focus starlight?
A single-mirror reflector.
What type is the the hubble space telescope?
HST's primary mirror is a Cassegrain Reflector.
