By 'Atomic Scattering', which is the absorption and re-emission of light energy by the particles of a medium which will not absorb the energy.

It depends if the mirror is concave or convex. The light reflects differently depending on the type of mirror.

What will a mirror always do to light?

A mirror will always reflect light. It bounces off the mirror's surface at the same angle it hits it.


What does a mirror reflect In a dark room?

In a dark room, a mirror will not reflect anything because there is no light for it to bounce off of and create a reflection. Mirrors require light to reflect images.


Is it true that a mirror will reflect light?

Yes, a mirror reflects light by bouncing it off at the same angle it arrives. This reflection creates a clear image of the objects in front of the mirror.


How does light reflect off a mirror?

amsw2. A mirror, provided it is smooth to below the wavelength of light, will reflect the light in the same way you can see a water wave be reflected from a wall.


Will a flashlight reflect off a mirror in a dark room?

Yes, a flashlight beam will reflect off a mirror in a dark room as long as the mirror is reflective. The reflected light will illuminate the area where the mirror is facing.


Can a light reflect off a mirror?

yes it can because reflection is logic


What happens when you shine light through a mirror?

When you shine light through a mirror, the light will reflect off the mirror's surface and bounce back. Some light may also pass through the mirror, depending on its transparency. Overall, the mirror will predominantly reflect the light due to its smooth and reflective surface.


Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a convex mirror?

Light rays reflect when they hit a convex mirror. The rays bounce off the mirror and converge to form a virtual image behind the mirror.


How does light reflect off a convex and concave?

A parallel light source will reflect off a concave mirror and go through a point inside the curve called the focus. Reflecting from a convex mirror will cause all light to bounce off in a straight line away from a focus point behind the mirror.


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.
