What are the common properties of a mirror and copper wire
Answers
Explanation:
Common Properties of Copper Wire
It is malleable, ductile, and an extremely good conductor of both heat and electricity. It is softer than zinc and can be polished to a bright finish. It is found in group Ib of the periodic table, together with silver and gold. Copper has low chemical reactivity.
Common Properties of Mirror
As with lenses, the focal length is positive for converging (concave) mirrors and negative for diverging (convex) mirrors. When incorporated into optical systems, the spherical shape of concave and convex mirrors enables them to act as positive and negative lenses, respectively.
Copper:
Ductile, Malleable, and a conductor of both heat and electricity.
Malleability
it is the ability to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking.
Ductility
it is the ability of a material to be drawn or plastically deformed without fracture.
Electrical conduction and Thermal or heat conduction
Thermal or heat conduction is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic collisions of particles.
An electrical conduction is a substance in which electrical charge carriers, usually electrons, move easily from atom to atom with the use of voltage.
Mirror:
a reflective surface that does not allow the passage of light and instead bounces it off, thus producing an image. Reflection of light is the property.
Reflection of light
Reflection is the change in direction of a wave front at an interface between two different media so that the wave front returns into the medium from which it originated.
