eli5: Does the reflection of light in windows/mirrors also produce light?

368 views

Ever since I was young, I’ve always wondered if reflected light from windows also produces light. I never asked because I thought it was a “dumb” question. Guess this is the right place…

ps: sorry if I made mistakes, I’m not a native speaker 😉

No they reflect the available light, more reflective the material more it reflects.If light particles hit a mirror it will reflect most of it and absorb rest so if you reflect light trough couple of mirrors, eventually the last mirror will get completely dark.
