Can mirrors multiply light?

The amount of light will not double, since mirrors only reflect about 80% of light that hits them (absorbing 20%).  It would be brighter in the room, though.  However, if you had a room full of mirrors on all surfaces, the room would be much brigher than a room full of black surfaces, since the light rays will be reflected rather than being absorbed by the dark color.

You see a mirror in a mirror in a mirror in a mirror ......\nThere are various gadgets using this effect. \nFor instance if you put a lightbulb between the two mirrors and look throug the one way mirror you will see (depending how parallel you've managed to put the mirrors) lots of lightbulbs disappearing into infinity. I know 'cause I've done it!

if u can trap light in a totally reflective mirror(means which reflect light 100%) and don't make any HOLE in ball it definitely keep on reflecting.\nif mirror is not 100% reflecting it will absorb some portion of light every time light fell on its surface.So after some time light rays will vanish practically.(theoretically light rays will vanish after infinite time)\n \nif yr mirror ball has a hole then there is a probability that light will come out of mirror ball in its journey.\npractically this situation is not possible bcos either second or third situation always applies.

Good question!  However, 1-way mirrors are not really 1-way: they let as much light out as they do in!  They depend on the fact that the "invisible" side is less well illuminated than the "visible" side.

B.  A convex mirror will make light diverge, and no mirror will *alwats* give a inverted image, because it depends whether you're closer than the focal point for a concave lens.\n\nThink about those little round mirrors on buses and huge trucks, and how small the image is.  Those mirrors are convex.

If there is 10 degrees between them and both strike the mirror at 5 degrees then they will both make the same angle reflecting. !0 degrees between them.\n\nIf one ray strikes the mirror at 0 degrees and reflects straight back, the other will reflect at 10 degrees, same answer.\n\nIf one ray strikes the mirror at 10 degrees then the other ray will strike at 20 degrees. Reflected angles are 10 and 20 so it's still 10 degrees between them.\n\nYou need to subtract instead of add the angles.

When a mirror is hit by particles of light called photons, it reflects the photons back to us. When photons hit a smooth surface like a mirror, they bounce back off of the mirror at roughly the same angle at which they hit the object, creating a reflection that looks the same.

7(3 images will coincide) and each mirror will produce 2 distinct images\nthus   2+2+2+1=7

No. They do not share the same dimensions.\n\nYou can multiply them though.

i would think the light would reflect with more of a wave length...but that is just a guess...kinda like a magnifing glass...\n\nNice to see you've corrected the spelling mistake in your 'nickname'\nLAST TIME I EXPLAIN MYSELF...WHEN I FIRST WROTE MY NICK NAME IT WAS FOR THE NEWS DISSCUSSION BOARDS....I TRIED SPELLING IT proudcaucasian FIRST BUT IT WAS ALREADY TOOK...SO I WENT WITH proudcaucasiOn!!!   i didnt think i would run into any dumbass who thought they were the grammer police and couldnt figure out what it meant...just goes to show you how many idiots are here in y!answers...  got it now tomika???   hope so cause i wont explain it ever again!!!   loooooooser

playing around with mirrors....and light.....and lenses

Refraction bent the light when passing in angle throught glass or other material, it can be use in a optical telescope. But the lens used must become thicker when diameter grow, and that make bigger lens really expensive.\n\nreflection can also be use to build telescope. Big mirror can be build at lower cost than lens.

A white object spreads the light into many directions. A mirror doesn't, it instead keeps the light focused, which is why we can see our images.

Fascinating question! The surface of the vibrating object would alternately cause reflected light to red shift and blue shift, but that's about as far as my thinking can go. Would the shifts cancel each other, rendering the object invisible?

Not in the same way that light reflects. This is an important topic in X-Ray telescopes. See below!

I'm guessing it deals with light refraction, but I may be wrong. I do know you give me a charge.

I believe it's the percent of light that bounces back and doesnt go through. Like a mirror reflects 95% of light. Dunno could be how much a material bends light, like water, cant remember.
