By 'Atomic Scattering from the silvering, after being refracted through the glass.
(refraction is caused by slowing due to PMD - the slight time delay of polarisation, which is different subject to frequency).
EM energy polarises particles and they re-emitt the energy, at the reciprocal angle as long as the mirror is not moving. (if it is it proves school science wrong by doing the reciprocal with respect to the air or vacuum NOT the mirror).
What else can I help you with?
Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a convex mirror?
A convex mirror has the same type of curve as the bottom of a spoon - it bulges out. Mirrors reflect.
Type of light source that reflects light rays?
Light doesn't reflect light, nor does any other electromagnetic radiation.
What happens to parallel rays of light when they reflect from a concave mirror?
Parallel rays of light that reflect from a concave mirror will converge at a focal point after reflection. The focal point is located on the principal axis of the mirror and is the point where all reflected rays meet after reflection.
Does plane mirror reflect rays of all wavelength?
Yes, plane mirrors reflect all wavelengths of light in the same way. The reflection of light off a mirror does not depend on the specific wavelength of light.
How does light reflect off a plane mirror?
Light reflects off a plane mirror by obeying the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. When light rays strike the mirror surface, they bounce off in a way that preserves the direction of the incoming light rays.
Will foil absorb or reflect light?
Foil will reflect light rather than absorbing it. The shiny surface of foil acts as a mirror, bouncing light rays off of it.
When you shine a flashlihgt in the mirror the light rays are going to?
reflect off the mirror's surface at the same angle they hit it, following the law of reflection. This means the light rays will bounce back in the opposite direction from which they came, allowing you to see the reflection of the light.
What do you understand by the term reflection of light . Name two objects which can reflect light?
Reflection of light is the phenomenon where light rays bounce off a surface after striking it. A mirror and a smooth metal surface are two examples of objects that can reflect light.
Does a mirror reflect without light?
light is needed to reflect an image off a mirror...no light no reflection
What does the word reflection mean When light hits a mirror and bounes reflection Off in a different direction sample mirror We see objects when they reflect light rays into our eyes?
Reflection refers to the bouncing back of light when it hits a surface such as a mirror. This is how we are able to see objects in our surroundings, as they reflect light rays into our eyes for us to perceive them visually.
What makes a mirror reflect an image?
A mirror reflects an image due to the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence of light hitting the mirror is equal to the angle of reflection. When light rays from an object hit a mirror, they bounce off it and form an image by preserving the direction of the light rays.
How does a flat mirror reflect light?
A flat mirror reflects light by following the law of reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Light rays hit the mirror, bounce off it, and create a reflected image.
