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

194 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. No additional light is produced. You’ll only ever see the light produced by the original source.
