How radium reflects in clocks?

Radium reflects in clocks by emitting a glow due to its radioactive decay. The radium releases energy in the form of light, causing the clock hands and numbers to appear illuminated in the dark. The use of radium for this purpose was common in the early to mid-20th century until its health risks were recognized.


Why does radium glows in dark?

No, radium does not glow in the dark. If it did, then the whole world would be glowing in the dark. Rocks, soil, plants, and any living thing contains some radioactive material. The myth can be traced back to the "radium craze" of the early 20th century, when radium was just about added to everything. When the radium was added to paint, it became luminous. This was the origin of the "radium glow". In fact, it wasn't the radium glowing, but it was reacting with the copper and zinc in the paint, causing it to become luminous, in a phenomenon called "radio-luminescence".
