This can happen if the water is disturbed, such as by wind or rain, which causes ripples on the surface that distort the reflection. Additionally, if the water is dirty or murky, it can hinder the reflection by scattering light instead of reflecting it clearly.

Why cant we see reflection in a cardboard?

Cardboard is an opaque material, meaning it does not allow light to pass through. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, but since cardboard does not transmit light, there is no surface for light to bounce off of in order to create a reflection.


Why cant you see your reflection in a piece of cloth?

The cloth is a non-reflective surface because the light is absorbed in the cloth instead of reflected or refracted like in a mirror or a pane of glass or a pool of water. BTW: A lightyear is 28,362,764,866,464,000 miles in distance. I just saw an answered question that didn't explain it at all and I thought you'd need at least one fun fact a day!! :))


Why cant you see your reflection on a wall?

You cannot see your reflection on a wall because walls are not reflective surfaces like mirrors. Mirrors are specially designed to reflect light in a way that creates an image of the objects in front of them, whereas walls are generally not designed to reflect light in the same way.


What are 5 practical uses of total internal reflection?

Optical fibers use total internal reflection to guide light signals for telecommunications and internet connectivity. Reflecting prisms in binoculars and periscopes use total internal reflection to redirect light without losing brightness. Reflecting mirrors in digital projectors use total internal reflection to display images onto a screen. Diamond gemstones sparkle due to total internal reflection within the stone. Some sensors and detectors employ total internal reflection to detect changes in the refractive index or presence of substances.
