∙ 12y agoAn infinite number of images of the candle will be formed as the light rays reflect back and forth between the two mirrors. Each successive image will be located at a distance of 40 cm from the previous one.
No. In a room with any number of mirrors of any size, when you switch off the light or blow out the candle, the room becomes just as dark as a room without mirrors.
When you use a match to light a candle, a chemical reaction occurs between the match head and the air, producing heat and a flame. This flame melts the candle wax, which is then drawn up the wick and vaporized by the heat, creating more fuel for the flame. The burning candle releases light and heat energy as a result of this continuous combustion process.
The heat from the candle is transferred to your palm primarily through conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between two objects at different temperatures. In this case, the heat is conducted from the candle's flame to your palm as they come into contact with each other.
A parrafin candle, a beeswax candle, and a soy candle were burned at he same time. If you are lloking to buy a long lasting candle i suggest buying a parrafin candle( most candles are made from parrafin) Do not buy a bees wax candle they burn twice as fast as a regular candle
Rays from the sun are very close to parallel. Rays from a more distant star will be even closer to parallel.However, since light propagates as waves, you cannot have truly parallel beams which do not interfere.
in my opinion only 2 images will be formed because the mirror is parallel and the candle between the mirror will stop the reflection.
Because - if the mirrors are exactly parallel - they will reflect each others image indefinitely.
In theory, there should be an infinite number. In practice, though, the quality of the mirrors - the reflective surfaces as well as the glass in front of them - will reduce that number. The separation between the mirrors will also play a role by dispersing light as it bounces back and forth between the mirrors.
It theory, infinitely many. In reality, probably not more than 20. At each reflection, the quality of the image will deteriorate due to minor flaws in the mirror, total internal refraction, absorption by dust particles. In theory, the separation makes no difference.
A Yablochkov candle is an early type of arc lamp invented by the Russian electrical engineer Pavel Yablochkov in the 1870s. It consists of two parallel carbon rods separated by an insulating material, which creates an electric arc when connected to a power source. Yablochkov candles were used for street lighting before incandescent bulbs became more common.
because of all the intricate mirrors that are put in the room, when you light the candle, the mirrors would just keep reflecting light of each other thus creating a bright room
The answer depends on the angle between the mirrors. The distance between the mirrors does not, in theory, make any difference. If the angle between the mirrors is x degrees, then the theoretical number of images is (360/x)- 1 which is rounded down. In practice, minor defects in the mirrors, refraction, total internal refraction, absorptions, scattering etc will reduce the number of images.The answer depends on the angle between the mirrors.

when at night somebody passed by the rooms with a single candle on hand, the thousand reflection on the mirrors would lit up the whole room
Possibly. The mirrors would have to be used to reflect the light onto a small space. A better way would be to use a magnifying glass; I remember doing this when I was younger.
Parralel means that there are two striaght lines that will never meet, so if there is already one then you should just guess that there would be two candles. Smart. * * * * * No not smart. At best, ignorant. In theory there should be an infinite number though in reality the number will be reduced by dispersion, defraction and absorption. The reflecting surfaces will not be perfect and so some light will be reflected away, the glasses and air gap between the mirrors will defract and disperse some of the light. Tens of images are quite feasible with reasonable mirrors. Certainly a lot more than suggested in the original answer.
A candle dragon in Chinese mythology symbolizes the distinction between day and night and the four seasons. The candle dragon is sometimes referred to as the candle yin.
