What is more reflective toward radiation mirror or aluminum foil?

∙ 14y ago
I would have to say aluminum foil, since radiation can travel through glass.
radiation is reflected from the surface of aluminum foil.
With a mirror the radiation has to travel through a small layer of glass twice before the mirror is finished with it. Glass is not totally transparent, some light is absorbed so the naked aluminum reflects better.

What is an example of radiation and reflection together?
-- You walk into the bathroom at night, turn the light on, and admire yourself in the mirror.-- The light bulb radiates light, which goes all over the place.

Why aluminum higher in Earth's crust?
Aluminum, being a lighter element, rose toward the surface of the early molten Earth.
Only about 50 percent of the solar energy directed toward earth penetrates directly to the surface. What happens to the rest of the radiation?
some of the radiation is absorbed in the atmosphere
What is the form of a element that is progressing toward a more stable state by emitting radiation is called?
radioisotope
Would you receive less solar radiation if you moved from the equator toward the north pole?

How do a concave mirror and convex mirror differ?
A concave mirror, or converging mirror, has a reflecting surface that bulges inward (away from the incident light). A convex mirror, fish eye mirror or diverging mirror, is a curved mirror in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source.
