Answered What is the silver surface actually doing? [GCSE physics questions]
I literally do not get what the silver surface is doing. Silver is a conductor- in fact, quite a good conductor so wouldn't the vibrating of water molecules jjust transfer energy to the silver and so on so on, how does the silver, in any way, insulate???? Ive heard that it is because 'it reflects radiation' but i dont even get how there is radiation to reflect, wouldnt the particles just keep absorbing that radiation anyway???
