In fact, many mirrors are actually a film of aluminum deposited
on the back of a sheet of glass. So yes, aluminum foil does reflect
'like a mirror'. The reflectivity of most common aluminum alloys is
in excess of 98%, in both the visible and infrared ranges of light.

∙ 8y agoThere is no such thing as "transfer of cold". Only heat can be transmitted. If it seems that "cold" is transmitted from a cold object to a hot one, it really works the other way - the heat (for example, in the form of infrafred radiation) goes from the hot object to the cold object.

∙ 14y agoYes it does. This is due to the electrons in the outer shells of metals; they cause reflection.

∙ 13y agoit reflects sunlight because the speacil supstance that it is made from does not absorb heat so it reflects it and it get hot

∙ 8y agoCold is an absence of heat. Aluminum is a metal, and conducts heat. Shiny foil will reflect some heat, so it can help keep cold things cold, but not as well as other materials.

Does aluminum foil attract heat?
answ2. Heat is not 'attracted' 'repelled' by anything.Polished aluminum foil will, and thus is a thermal insulator.Aluminium metal itself is a good conductor of heat.It will reflect the sunlight and retain the heat.
Does aluminum foil reflect light?
Yes, it is true.
Does aluminum foil reflect more light than transparent glass?
no
Why does sunlight bounce off aluminum foil?
It depends on the thickness of aluminium and also depends on the nature of light. If the Aluminium foil is very thin, then the light may transit small extent. But, in general, the visible light gets reflect.
Does light reflect when it hits aluminum foil?
Light reflects when it hits aluminum foil. In fact, anything that you can see reflects light. Without the reflecting light reaching your eyes, you would not see it at all.

no
What material keeps things colder plastic wrap or aluminum foil?
aluminum foil is better at blocking temperature from getting out than plastic wrap. the atoms in the element aluminum are bigger and have more neutrons/electrons and protons than the elements in plastic wrap.

Does aluminum foil reflect heat?
Yes all metal foils reflect heat (and other electromagnetic radiation: light, radio waves, etc.).
Is a aluminum foil a compound or elements?
Aluminum is element. Aluminum foil is made entirely of aluminum.
Can you put aluminum foil in a microwave that has a metal rack?
No. The wire rack does not have enough surface area to cause a problem.. The foil is a solid surface and will reflect the microwaves.
Why did the ice cube directly under the light melt faster when it had no cover than when it was covered with aluminum foil?
The aluminum foil reflected the rays of the light, so without the foil the ice cube couldn't reflect any of the light's rays and that made it melt faster
Is aluminum foil an element?
Aluminum foil is made of Aluminum, which is an element. So yes Aluminum foil is a element
What elements is used in cookwear and cooking foil?
Tin foil... tin Aluminum foil... aluminum :)
