The color you see when you look in a mirror is the color of whatever is reflected in the mirror but does a mirror have its own color?

Of course. Mirrors do not reflect every color the same. Usually you would not notice this, because mirrors are desireable because of the lack of color in the reflection. Mirrors can be made of many things, copper (used for lasers), aluminum (used for telescopes), rhodium (used for some optical devices). They each have characteristic reflectivity at various wavelengths. Spacecraft often have mylar coated with gold reflective insulation because it has great reflectivity in the infrared to reflect the heat from the Sun. Of course it looks golden-yellow-green to us.
To directly view the colors of various mirrors, simply observe various metal samples. For example, compare the color of a silver spoon with a stainless steel spoon, and hold both near a flat piece of aluminum foil. Mirrors made from the same metals will show these same colors.

Why are some letters reflected the same in a mirror?
Because they are perfectly symmetrical. go ahead and draw a square then look at it in the mirror :)
What does a line of symmetry look like?
Answer:A line of symmetry will be a straight line usually down the middle of a figure. The line can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, as long as both sides of the line are mirrors of one another. Example: Ø In this circle, you can see the diagonal line through the circle, and both sides mirror one another, so the line in the circle is a line of symmetry.Answer:A line of symmetry is a line which can be drawn through something in a way that both sides are the same (and the object would look the same if reflected in a mirror)I'll draw a line of symmetry below as an example:.....|..../|\.../.|.\../..|..\./...|...\/....|....\.....|If you were to replace that line with a mirror, it would reflect one side and thus look like the triangle.Below is another example to help demonstrate what i mean by it being reflected, and both sides looking the same:.....|___..../|...../.../.|..../../..|..././...|..//....|./.....|This example is NOT a line of symmetry. If this were reflected in a mirror, it would look like a triangle, versus the shape it is.
Is each side of your face different?
Yes, there are slight differences particular to each side of your face. To highlight just how different each side of you face is, take a small flat mirror, hold it against half of your face an look into another mirror, you will see one half of your face reflected to form a whole face, you will look really strange.
What are the symmetrical shapes?
they are shapes that are the same on the other side e.g a rectangle ....if you put a mirror on the shape if you look in the mirror it will look the same
I look at you you look at me i raise my right you raise your left riddle?

Why do you see your reflection when you look in a mirror and not when you look at a book?
The image is reflected from a reflective object, in this case [your mirror], as a Book is not a mirror, it is not reflected.
What is a mirrors color?
In a theoretical perfect mirror, a mirror is whatever color the object it is reflecting is. However, there are no perfect mirrors. If you look at a mirror tunnel, you can see mirrors are actually GREEN!
What is a reflected piece of glass that you look at yourself into called?
Mirror

Which letter can not be turned upside down and reflected in a mirror and still look the same?

Which mirror makes you look elongated?
A concave mirror will give an elongated appearance. When a mirror curves inward it becomes concave and makes one look elongated and thinner because of the way the light is reflected off the mirror.
What happens when a fun house mirror makes you look skinny?
the light is reflected back at different angles because the mirror is curved
How do you tell what color your eyes are?
Look in a mirror
When light hits a mirror does it bounce regularly?
It depends on the shape of mirror. If the mirror is straight and not curved, light bounces back in a manner. If it is curved, the reflected image will look different.
How do you find your eye color?
Look in a mirror, or ask someone.
What happens to parallel light rays hitting a convex mirror?
Due to the positive curvature of a convex mirror, when parallel light rays hit the mirror, they are reflected outward (they diverge). As such, convex mirrors are often used for security in convenient stores and other places...because they allow for a wide area to be reflected in the mirror, allowing you to see a wide area when you look at the mirror.
What is the true color of a mirror?
The Correct Answer Is Green Want A Proof? Buy 2 mirrors. then look at the reflection of the mirror and the mirror and so on The Color Of The Mirror On The Back Turns Green And Greener :P Sorry For My bad English!
