for example, if uv light is directed at a mirror, is the reflected light also uv? what about cameras? if you recorded uv light on it is the image also producing uv light? what about black lights?
no cuz the light reflected by mirror is approx 90% of the total. bcoz. it is made up of silver.
no, no mirror reflects 100% of what is shone upon it. A normal household mirror will not reflect radio waves, gamma waves, x-rays, etc... It reflects visible light and a little spillover on each side.
A normal mirror does not change the wavelength of the incident light, but the composition of the reflected light is still somewhat different because it generally does not reflect light of all wavelengths equally efficiently. However, if the light is monochromatic (as that of a laser) and the mirror is perfectly flat and smooth, then the reflected light has all the properties of the incident light, usually including uv light.
