if i had a cube constructed of mirror glass with the mirrors facing inwards and I fired a laser into it would it simply bounce around ad infinitum?

it will loose about 2dB of signal every time it reflected depending on the quality of the reflector. The laser of 1 Jewel a pulse width of 10 nano sec. which makes the peak power of ap. 1million watts.This was used to range on satellites to an accuracy of 10 Cm on a 12000 kl. path.

You if would be impossible IMO b/c how would you fire the laser into the glass cube? The laser would probably get absorved by the place you shoot it through. But if you did and the mirror reflected ALL the light, then IMO it would be pitch black in there b/c there woudl be nothing for the lgiht to be absorbed and be seen but the laser would still be there bouncing around.

yes, but you would have to shoot the laser in and cover up the hole where you shot it in very quickly. the speed of light is something like 6million meters per secont so actually you wouldn't see it bounce aroundbut all of the glass would eventually turn red.

{easy AMPLIFICATION by potential of inspired EMISSION OF RADIATIONS} LASER NO they're incorrect, an rather laser is extremely extreme it can't be diverged or meditated. the laser easy they're speaking approximately isn't the actual laser. a lasercan even penetrate by using merchandise no count if it quite is of large intensity.

The light travels so fast it would exit the same hole it came into, as soon as you turned off the laser
