Why does the mirror in my bathroom steam up when I take a shower some days and not others
l know nothing about science ........ dropped it asap at school, and since
Tomorrow is World stopped being aired on BBC1 a few decades ago l just
have to blindly trust that things just happen!PS Useful background info -
l have no extractor fan, and often cut myslelf shaving due to a steamed up
mirror!
it would depend on the coldness of the mirror upon entering the
shower and the length of time the shower was running for the heat from the
shower to hit the coldness of the mirror and allow it to steam up.
Ouch! that is not good!
steam forms on ur mirror, when the surface is colder than the air in ur
bathroom in general.
so the water condenses into droplets., & you cant see a thing !!!
it does so, on the walls as well ,but this not as noticeable to you .
TIPS: wipe ur mirror with a thin film of washing up liquid , (this encourages , the water to run off , rather than collect on the mirror , Car demister liquid / spray --works on the same principle I hope this will help you start ur day, without the trauma of cutting yourself >^,,^<
it all depends on the temperature of the room, and therefore of
the mirror, a cold room and you get the steam condensing out on the cold
surface of the mirror, a warm room and it doesn't as the temperature
difference isn't enough, it is like when you breathe out on a cold day you
can see your breath as a cloud of condensation, on a warm day you don't see
it.
Many factors, but the most important one is the temperature of
the mirror. Just as water conenses on a cold beer can, but not a warm
one..if your mirror were heated it would be less likely to ''fog up''
it has to do with temperature and humidity. just like the dew
point outside. the air can only hold a certain amount of moisture at
certain temperatures. if there is a lot of moisture in the air and it is
cold, the more moisture you add to the air is going to condensate on
colder surfaces. run a dehumidifier and you won't fog up the mirror as
often. shorter showers help too.
all to do with temperature, but to stop it happenin ever, put a
little car wax on a cloth, wipe all over ur mirror and buff it off, wont
steam up again!
It is to do with the temperature of the glass.
Because some days are colder outside than inside which leads to
condensation. Winter is likely to be worse than summer cos the hot water
leads to steam up cos the temp is colder in the bathroom.
