Is the material mica a poor conductor of heat?

mica is a plastice, so it is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Mica is a mineral, not a plastic. But you're correct about its insulating properties.


Do light bulbs fade plastic?

Light bulbs can affect plastic depending on the plastic and what type of bulb (lamp) is being used. Heat and higher frequencies of light are the two characteristics of lamps that can most affect plastic. As there are thousands of plastics and many different lamps (wattage and color temperatures), it is difficult to say if a lamp will affect plastic. To cite a single example, we often see a plastic liner in a lampshade that has changed color because of prolonged exposure to the heat and light of the lamp in the fixture.

Do ice cubes melt faster in aluminum Glass or plastic cup?

The heat conductivity of a container will influence the rate at which its contents lose or retain heat. Aluminum being a metal is a good heat conductor (better than glass or plastic at least) and would allow ice cubes stored in it to absorb heat more readily than the other two.
