no when a light hits an object the light will bounce back
well no as it bounces
No. Reflective (only) materials DON'T shine by themselves, but are good at bouncing light around. Put them somewhere COMPLETELY dark, and it'll remain like that. But if there's only a little light falling onto them, that light will very efficiently be bounced back.
well no as it bounces
same way normal light does. it's just normal light bouncing off a reflective surface and onto another surface
Tape that has a reflective surface on it to catch light. Often used by bycicle riders at night so that drivers can see them when the headlights reflect off the tape.
......,
All materials reflect light. if u can see it then the light refelcts off that and into ur eyes
We cannot see a light source even if 1 opaque material is blocking the light source. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through them so we cannot see light through them but we can still see light reflected by them.
Unreflective must be invisible as we can only see things that light has reflected off into our eyes
You can't see infrared light without a special camera.
no because you need light to see
As you may know the only reason we see anything is because light is reflected off it. Turn the light off in your room and you see "nothing", turn it on and everything is visible (mostly). Mirrors are highly reflective surfaces, so any light that hits them will bounce back as if it copying said light. As surfaces get less and less reflective you will be able to see a less distinctive image back, for example aluminum or titanium.
