Question

1. During reflection most of the rays are
absorbed by the mirror.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The oscillating electrical field in the incoming light wave produces a force on the charges inside the mirror. Most of the charges are either too heavy (as is true for the nuclei of the atoms) or too tightly bound (as is true for most of the electrons) to vibrate significantly in response to this field. The comparatively loosely held bonding electrons, along with the free electrons present in metals, can move in response to these electrical forces, however. These electrons oscillate at the same frequency as the incident light, which gives rise to the reflected wave.

"Because there are a great many electrons in the mirror, all vibrating at the frequency of the incident light, reflection from the mirror is really a group effort. All the electrons dance to the same music, whose rhythm is provided by the incident light wave. This coordination causes the reflected wave to make the same angle with respect to the mirror's surface as does the incident beam..

hope so it will be useful to you dear

Answer 2

Answer:

All the electrons dance to the same music, whose rhythm is provided by the incident light wave. This coordination causes the reflected wave to make the same angle with respect to the mirror's surface as does the incident beam. ... This imperfection leads to some absorption of light in the metal.
