Why does a mirror reflect light so well?

Because it has a shiny & smooth surface which helps to reflect the light... Take an example of tree. A tree have a rough surface due to which light can be reflect. So All of this depends on the smoothness of surface.. :-)


Does prism refract light?

yes.


Describe what happens to an incident wave after it hits an obstacle at an angle?

I think the wave will either refract/reflect off the object and it may even cancel out the wave and will stop moving/traveling. Hhope this was veryy helpful to u guys!! ;-) :-0 ha ha :-8


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 do mirrors reflect all the light shone on them?

They don't. Part of the light will be absorbed.They don't. Part of the light will be absorbed.They don't. Part of the light will be absorbed.They don't. Part of the light will be absorbed.
