nonsedimentary
D
sedimentary
8) A student is able to see their reflection in a mirror because
A
visible light is absorbed producing an image on the glass

visible light is reflected producing an image on the glass
C
visible light is diffracted and the image is reversed

the presence of dark matter
C
emission of low-energy microwaves by distant objects
