Light disappearing
11 Answers
if you were to turn on a light, and place two mirrors facing the light either side of it, so that light would hit the left mirror then bounce onto the right, then back to the left etc. then why, when you turn the light off, does the light disappear? surely it should continue bouncing between the mirrors until something stops it?

If you could see light, you would see nothing else! Maybe a very small amount of light in your proposed experiment does bounce back and forth indefinately, but when you try to measure this, you've ruined the experiment. Heisenberg's Uncertantity Principle on a small scale? Probably not.
