It reflects and can be seen on lets say you do it on a mirror in your room, it will reflect and be seen on teh wall across from it!( works better in teh dark)
Hope this helps :)
you don no ma :D

∙ 9y agoThe electrons in glass will absorb ultraviolet light, but not visible light. Thus, glass protects us from some frequencies of UV radiation.

In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is the resonant frequency of electrons in glass?
I think in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What happen when light strikes a smooth and shiny colored glass?
If the glass is translucent then some is reflected back while some frequencies pass through. Ultraviolet is blocked by glass.
Can ultraviolet light pass through glass?
Ultraviolet light can pass through glass, but the amount and type of UV (eg UVA, UVB etc) transmitted depends on the type and thickness of the glass, any coatings and laminates.
What frequencies of visibile light are transmitted through a piece of glass if the glass appears black?
No wavelengths.
Which passes through glass without a problem infrared or ultraviolet radiation?
infrared radiation

What is Ultraviolet lights?
Ultraviolet light (UV light) is light of shorter wavelength than the visible spectrum. Many insects, like bees, see mostly UV light so they can find plants with nectar. Sunlight contains UV light and can tan but also damage your skin if you stay outside too long on a sunny day.Answer:Visible light is electromagnet radiation of different frequencies. The different frequencies are the different colors. Just outside the range of frequencies (colors) humans can see are infrared and ultraviolet. Ultraviolet is higher frequency and infrared is lower.Note: Higher frequencies are shorter wavelengths and lower frequencies are longer wavelengths.Visible light is electromagnet radiation of different frequencies. The different frequencies are the different colors. Just outside the range of frequencies (colors) humans can see are infrared and ultraviolet. Ultraviolet is higher and infrared is lower
Why ultraviolet spectroscopy is also called quartz spectroscopy?
I'm a bit curious as to who exactly calls it that; I've never heard that term before. At a guess I'd say it's probably because ordinary glass is somewhat opaque to certain frequencies of ultraviolet light, but quartz glass transmits it.
What is the fate of the energy in the ultraviolet light incident on glass?
Ultraviolet is too high frequency to enter glass and infrared is too low.
What happens when light passes through a glass box?
You will see what some people call a rainbow, the differing refraction of light frequencies
Can you get sunburn through a window?
No. Window glass is nearly opaque to ultraviolet frequencies of sunlight; which are the frequencies that cause sunburn. The same applies to sunglasses.
What frequencies of visible light are transmitted through a piece of glass if the glass appears clear?
It really depends on the type of glass. "Glass" is a more or less generic name for different substances that look transparent for us. The normal glass is mainly transparent for visible light; it will absorb both most ultraviolet light, and most infrared light.
Glass is transparent to visible light but not to?
Ultraviolet and Infrared.
How do you get a sunburn through a car window?
Glass does not block ultraviolet light. You get a sunburn by exposure to excessive ultraviolet light.
Can ultraviolet light pass through glass?
Ultraviolet light can pass through glass, but the amount and type of UV (eg UVA, UVB etc) transmitted depends on the type and thickness of the glass, any coatings and laminates.
What frequencies of visible light are transmitted through a piece of glass if the glass appears purple?
No wavelenth.
