Why is aluminum foil shiny on one side but not the other?
Aluminum foil is shiny on one side because of the manufacturing process. During manufacturing, the foil is rolled to make it thinner, which creates a shiny side. The dull side is created by the contact between the foil and the rolling machinery.
What is a wrap around bracelet?
A wrap around bracelet is a lone bracelet that has a hole on one side and a button or something on the other and you wrap it until it fits you and then you hook it on.
Can Cd's store data on both sides of disk?
No one side only. The shiny side.
Why is the reverse side of electrical heaters made of a shiny side?
It is shiney so it can reflect the heat to one area
Would it matter if you use the matte side or shiny side of aluminum foil toward food?
Take it from the people at Reynolds. They make the stuff. They will tell you that it makes no difference which side is in or out. According to the description on the TV show "Modern Marvels", two "sheets" of aluminum are pulled through the pressing machine and rollers at the same time. The "sheet" started off as a solid block, but as it is pulled through rollers, the "sheet" becomes longer and narrower (several miles long). As the two thinner sheets are pulled along together, the outside of both sheets (one on the bottom, one on the top) are exposed more and longer to heat and to the lubricant coolant liquid that Reynolds sprays on the product as it goes through the rollers. The opposite side of each sheet, unexposed, takes a "matte" or un-shiny appearance. They then take the top sheet to one set of rollers above, the bottom sheet to a roller below and "separate" the 2 sheets from each other and make them into 2 rolls. The two rolls are then sent to the processing/packing plant where they are separately cut into the standard length and width and boxed for sale. The Reynolds Company states that for cooking or freezing, it makes no difference whether the matte side or the shiny side is out. Optical light scatters differently from the dull side than from the shiny side, which is more like a mirror. But both sides absorb or reflect light (and infrared radiation) equally. The myth that the shiny side must be out started shortly after the product was first manufactured, according to Reynolds. Psychologically, the myth may have more to do with human attraction to all things shiny. === The shiny side should go on the inside. Here's why: The shiny side is shiny because it is more reflective of light. While light reflectivity doesn't necessarily tell you how well something can reflect things like gamma rays, light and heat are relatively close on the electro-magnetic spectrum, so you can generally assume that heat and light will be reflected in the same way by a certain material. In the case of cooking foil, if you put the less-reflective side outward, it will absorb more heat than the shiny side would have. Additionally, the shiny side will help heat build up under the foil. A similar example can be found in the reflective silver safety blankets found in first aid kits. While both sides are reflective, the warming property comes from body heat reflecting inside the blanket. The outside shininess might help with visibility in emergencies, but doesn't help you get warmer. === Your answer is incorrect acording to Reynolds Co. I called them last year with this same question and was told that using either side of the foil will yield the exact same results. The only reason for a shinny side and a dull side is because of the way that the manufacturing process works and that is it.
Is the shiny side of the DVD the content side?
No, the shiny side of a DVD is the side that should be facing down when inserting it into a player. The data side of a DVD, which contains the content, is the side that is not shiny and often has a label or printing on it.
Is the shiny side of aluminum foil suppose to be on the outside of wrap for heat?
Technically, there is no inside or outside to foil, but, one would suppose that the shiny side of the foil would actually be the INSIDE, because the shiny side would reflect the heat waves, such as a mirror reflects light better on a shiny surface.I use the shiny side to cover pie crusts when I don't want them to burn because it reflects the heat away from the covered area. When I'm roasting or baking I put the dull side out because it helps the food absorb more heat and cook quicker-but only a little bit. another questin you should think about is what makes aluminum foilAnother point of viewThe folks at Alcoa (the Aluminum Company of America) will tell you that it doesn't make a difference which side is in or out when using foil - unless you are interested in looking at yourself in it. Infrared radiation - heat! - works equally the same with either side. (You can't see infrared directly.) Oh, and the "amount" of visible light (light above infrared) that is reflected by both sides is almost identical, too. It's just that the "dull" side scatters it more than the "shiny" side, which has a smoother surface and acts more like a mirror. If you have a preference, by all means continue. But not because physics dictates it. It does not.
