Light is reflected of metal when it is polished and flat because it is very light and lighter colors reflect light whereas darker colors such as green suck the colors in.

What is the name of the leaf of a fern?
The correct term for a fern 'leaf' is a frond although "leaf" is perfectly acceptable.

Why does a green leaf appear green in daylight and dark in red light?
Green objects reflect all green wavelengths of visible light, so if it is only under red light, it has no colors to reflect and appears black.
What happens when you shine light at an angle toward a mirror?
so it is the same when you put a maginifing glass up to a leaf- you make sure that the dot is as small as can be and you will have a hole in the leaf! so this happen by you focusing all the light on spot that you want to burn - remember light gives off heat (same happens when youshine light at an angle toward a mirror)
What colors reflect?
Lighter colors reflect light better because it does not absorb all of it some of it reflects and you see light colors. That is why they appear light. They reflect almost all of the light that hits them thus making them light. White reflects the most light and black absorbs the most light. Different colors reflect different amounts of light. Light is also heat. Thus the more light reflected the cooler the object.
What color does a green leaf appear to be in red light?
Black, obviously. The reason green leaves appear green is because when placed in white light, the leaf absorbs all the colors of the spectrum and reflects only green light. However, in red light, the leaf absorbs the red light but is unable to reflect any green light because there is no green to reflect. So, it appears black. Try watching green plants at night (or very low light conditions). That should give you a practical proof of the fact mentioned above.
What color does a green leaf appear to be in red light and why?
It appears black. A green pigment can only reflect green light and red light is a primary colour, that is it contains only red.
What color does a green leaf appear to be in a red light Why?
It appears black. A green pigment can only reflect green light and red light is a primary colour, that is it contains only red.

Which of these chemicals is a major photosynthetic pigment in plants?
The most important photosynthetic plant pigment is the chlorophyll because it it what helps reflect the light energy off a leaf making the leaf appear green to the human eye
How does a mirror reflect heat?
MirrorsBecause if they didn't, they wouldn't be mirrors; they'd be windows -- or walls! Perhaps you wish to know how they reflect or why some surfaces reflect whereas others don't.There are basically three types of surfaces: those that absorb light, those that reflect it, and those that neither reflect it nor absorb it. Not counting "black holes," there are no objects that absorb all light perfectly or reflect all light perfectly or pass light perfectly. All objects reflect and absorb light to some degree. Some reflect more than absorb, some absorb more than reflect, and some -- like windows -- let light pass right through them. Mirrors are highly reflective, whereas black cotton or wool fabric doesn't reflect much at all.So, let's take a look at stuff that reflects. A mirror reflects, but so does a piece of loose-leaf paper. If the paper did not reflect some light, it would be invisible to the human eye. If it absorbed all the light that struck it, there would be nothing for your eye to see, because when you "see" the paper, you are actually detecting the light reflected from it. But a piece of paper is not a mirror, is it? So, what's the difference?The difference is the amount of "scatter" or diffusion caused by the surface of the paper. When the light rays hit the surface of the paper, they don't bounce off in the same direction; they scatter in many directions. We characterize that phenomenon as diffuse reflection. This occurs because the surface of the paper, when viewed under a microscope, is uneven, granular, and bumpy. See the nearby link for a diagram of light rays hitting a surface and scattering. The rays are bouncing off in all different directions. Objects that produce diffuse reflections don't make very good mirrors.But when light rays hit a very flat, smooth, polished surface, they bounce off at very predictable and consistent angles. They don't bounce off in all directions. In fact, the measure of the angle at which the light hits the surface (the angle of incidence) is the measure of the angle at which the light bounces off the surface (the angle of reflection). When this happens, you have a mirror. See the nearby link for a diagram depicting reflection.the back of a mirror is a thin layer of metal. well polished metal reflects images.Mirrors show reflection by light will reflect at a mirror surface so that the angles of incidence and reflection are equal.Mirror has at least one reflective object so that shows the image, that you put in front of that mirror. And how they work is that light helps you see your reflection in a mirror ; Light is energy traveling at high speed.And when it hits ah object all the energy has to go somewhere.- Melissa Lindsay (:The back part of the mirror is made of of metal. They polish the metal. Because metal reflects light if shows your reflection.
What is chorophyll in a leaf?
its the main veals where they get the most sun for photosynthesis so they can survive.
Do chloroplasts save energy?
Chloroplasts, in the leaf's pallisade cells, do in fact store light energy. They absorb red and blue light energy to power photosynthesis, and reflect green light,which is why they appear green. [By Fifth form advanced Science student] =)
Why does an object reflect a particular light frequency but not other frequencies?
A very intruiging question. First you must know that our eye can percieve light waves of frequencies 4000-7000 Angstrom. Now take the leaf for example. Its color is green. Why is it green? Its because the leaf absorbs all other light waves except green. It reflects it back. So to the green wave it acts as a mirror. Not exactly. You see elements emit that light which it absorbs (law laid down by Fraunhoffer). So the compound which is present in chlorophyl absorbs green and emits green also. So the green waves energy is conserved.
