Is there a metal that attracts light?

Answer 1

To some degree or another, yes. But it will also reflect some, and all this depends on the metal and the condition of its surface. Polished aluminum will reflect something like 98% of optical radiation. But if its scuffed up, not as much. Sound is reflected well of metal, but some will penetrate (be carried through) the metal. There are a lot of variables here.

Answer 2

If this situation is looked at like a magnet and steel, there are no metals that attract light, nor is there anything else that will. Light can be "bent" by objects with massive gravity, but it isn't "attracted" by metals.

Answer 3

This will be called transparency or translucency. The amount that a metal can do this will depend on the properties of each metal.

Answer 4

Yes, the light is reflected from all the tiny atoms in the surface.

Answer 5

usually it does. however, some metals reflect more than others. And certain metals do not, so you should specify.

Answer 6

kinda but I'm not that sure. what i do know is that the sun can melt the medal if you have it out in the sun for to long because medal is made out of steal and steal can melt.

Answer 7

There is no metal that naturally attracts light. Metals can reflect and absorb light based on their properties, but they do not have the ability to attract or pull light towards them.

Answer 8

because they are shiny :)

Answer 9

Silver
