it means that the light reflecs

Reflection is surprisingly poorly understood in quantum terms. This is demonstrated by the fact that a mirror moving in a vacuum reflects light back to a source at the speed c with respect to the 'rest frame' of the ('non existant') vacuum, not with respect to the moving mirror.

This indicates some of our current fundamental assumptions are wrong.

One possible logical solution is that the ion surface (plasmon) charge at all matter surfaces interacts and convert the speed to the local speed c each side of the transition zone (plasma is often a 'two part' phenomena). (The 'discrete field' model). No other solutions consistent with special relativity and QM have yet been proposed.

What does a mirror reflect In a dark room?

In a dark room, a mirror will not reflect anything because there is no light for it to bounce off of and create a reflection. Mirrors require light to reflect images.


Is it true that a mirror will reflect light?

Yes, a mirror reflects light by bouncing it off at the same angle it arrives. This reflection creates a clear image of the objects in front of the mirror.

What happens when you shine light through a mirror?

When you shine light through a mirror, the light will reflect off the mirror's surface and bounce back. Some light may also pass through the mirror, depending on its transparency. Overall, the mirror will predominantly reflect the light due to its smooth and reflective surface.
