Can Aluminum Foil reflect UVb rays? Pls help me.

**Wordless** · 09-09-2011, 07:04 PM

Hi guys! I'm planning to make a DIY aquarium light hood with light reflector for my UVa/b CFL bulb.

I'm planning to use an Aluminum Foil for my light reflector.

I've read that Mirrors can reflect UVa rays from the sun. Because a mirror is made-up of a Glass and Aluminum base. Since UVb rays can't go through glass, UVb rays can't be reflected by mirrors.

But if there's no glass, Can Aluminum reflect UVb rays?

Can the Aluminum Foil reflect UVb rays?

pls HELP me!
