it is one of the parts of a compound microscope
The shiny surface is a reflector, to reflect the heat outwards towards you.
A mirror, or the shiny side of tin foil
It doesn't corrode and remains shiny.
A smooth, shiny surface such as a mirror is the best reflector of radiation as it can bounce light rays off it without absorbing or scattering them. Rough or dark surfaces tend to absorb more radiation than they reflect.
Because it is shiny and inexpensive. Often it is plated with chrome to increase the reflection.
A mirror is a good reflector of light because it has a smooth and highly reflective surface that bounces light rays off at equal angles, resulting in a clear reflection.
Yes, drywall is a light reflector.
No, the wind will start to rip it apart right away. Even when it is glued to the reflector with industrial type glue it moves just enough to let the wind under it. Also many types of glue will oxidize the metal in the mylar causing it to be less shiny.
The shiny metal on the back of an electric bar fire helps to reflect heat forwards into the room, increasing the efficiency of the heater. It serves as a heat reflector, directing heat output towards the front of the unit and improving its heating capacity.
When a rough surface like a road becomes wet, the water fills in the gaps and irregularities in the surface, smoothing it out. The smooth surface of the water reflects more light, making it appear shiny and increasing its reflectivity.
It reflects light since it is a good reflector.
Palmyra Reflector was created in 1829.
