Question

Explain why a test tube immersed at a certain angle in a tumbler of water appears to have amirror surface for a certain viewing position?

Answer 1

Answer:

Below is the answer.

Explanation:

When a test tube is immersed in water at a certain angle it appears to have a mirror-like surface. That is due to refraction of light from the medium of air to the medium of water and then hitting the surface of the glass test tube as it's medium is glass the light undergoes reflection internally. When we look at the internally reflected light of the test tube, its surface appears to our naked eye as a mirror reflecting its surroundings at a certain angle.
