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 the function mirror rock of the microscope?

The mirror or reflective surface at the base of a microscope is used to direct light up toward the specimen. It helps to illuminate the sample evenly and provides optimal lighting conditions for viewing. By adjusting the angle of the mirror, you can control the intensity and direction of the light to achieve the best image quality.


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.


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. Some of the lightreflects from your face toward the mirror, then reflects back from the mirror toyour eyes, and you "see" your face "in" the mirror.


Only about 50 percent of the solar energy directed toward earth penetrates directly to the surface. What happens to the rest of the radiation?

The rest of the solar radiation is either reflected back into space by clouds, aerosols or reflective surfaces, or absorbed by the atmosphere. Some of this absorbed radiation is then re-radiated in all directions, contributing to atmospheric warming and circulation patterns.

What will happen if parallel raysof light are directed toward the mirror?

If parallel rays of light are directed toward a mirror, they will reflect off the mirror at the same angle that they hit it. This is based on the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.


What is the light ray that travels toward a reflective surface?

An incident light ray is a light ray that travels toward a reflective surface. When this ray hits the surface, it may be reflected, refracted, or absorbed, depending on the properties of the surface and the angle at which the light ray strikes it.

How do you remove the rear view mirror button that is glued to the windshield?

Look at the mirror, and find the retainer screw. Loosen the screw and slide the mirror up, toward the roof of the car.


What is the largest possible angle of incidence for a light ray traveling toward a mirror?

90 degrees is the largest possible angle of incidence because it is then parallel to the face of the mirror and is grazing the mirror.
