We say that something is white in colour because it reflects all the incident wavelengths...
Why is it that Mirror is not white? Because, even mirror reflects back all the incident colours!
49arguement 1: Mirrors' glass absorbs some wavelength of light...[3]`
1I think a mirror reflects light in a coherent manner , that is, the light is reflected back from the mirror depending on how the light came in.
A mirror, reflects the blue and red light in the same direction, and so the mirror actually builds an image of the source of the light.
[ While other substances having colour , actually reflect it along with scattering , so each colour is not reflected in the same dxn..all in diff dxn depending on λ ]
6and a mirror reflects back coz it has silvering wich makes reflection of the images.....
1difference is due to coherence and scattering...agreed with jsgenius
62the answer is because of regular and irregular reflection...
Even a polished white surface acts as partial mirror.. (isnt it?)
Btw akash.. where did d/f block come in the theory for class ix-x? :P
