Mirrors primary reflect light. Since a mirror is never 100% efficient, a small amount of the light is lost to absorption. A flat mirror reflects the light in such a way that the reflected angle is the same as the incident angle.

Do mirrors absorbe light?

No, mirrors reflect the light instead of absorbing it.


How do mirrors and lenses compare in their interaction with light?

Mirrors reflect light; lenses do not. APEX 0-0


What type of optical telescopes use mirrors to focus light?

concave mirrors, and curved mirrors


Can mirrors reflect light?

Yes, mirrors reflect light by bouncing it off their reflective surface. This reflection is what allows us to see our reflections in mirrors.


Why does light reflect off of mirrors?

Light reflects off of mirrors because mirrors have a smooth and shiny surface that causes light waves to bounce back in a predictable way, creating a clear reflection.


How does light behave when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors?

Light can be refracted, reflected, or dispersed when it strikes different types of lenses and mirrors. Convex lenses converge light rays to a focal point, while concave lenses diverge light. Concave and convex mirrors reflect light in different ways: convex mirrors diverge light, creating a virtual image, while concave mirrors can converge light, creating a real image.


Does mirrors reflect light?

yes


Can light be reflected how?

mirrors or glass


What effects does light have on concave and convex mirrors?

Light interacts with concave and convex mirrors in different ways. Concave mirrors converge light rays to a focal point, creating real or virtual images depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. Convex mirrors diverge light rays, creating smaller, upright, and virtual images, making them useful for wide-angle views or as security mirrors.


Do convex mirror reflect light?

Yes, convex mirrors reflect light by scattering it outwards. They provide a wider field of view compared to flat mirrors, making them useful for security mirrors and in vehicle side mirrors.


How do infinity mirrors work?

Infinity mirrors work by placing two mirrors facing each other with a partially reflective surface in between. When a light source is placed inside the mirrors, the light bounces back and forth between the mirrors, creating the illusion of infinite reflections.
