What kind of effect would you see if an object (with a light source) was surrounded by a mirrored sphere?

Also, if a pulse of light was released (this time with no object) inside a closed mirrored sphere - and no energy was lost through heat, would the light remain indefinitely - evenly spread throughout the sphere ?


(If so, then this effectively means that if the light were to stay constantly on, the brightness inside the enclosed mirrored sphere would increase infinitely!!).What kind of effect would you see if an object (with a light source) was surrounded by a mirrored sphere?
Ideally, the radiation field inside a highly internally reflecting closed container containing a small light source will isotropize to the power density and spectrum of the source due to multiple internal reflections. Beyond this, the source would necessarily absorb energy faster than it was emitted, resulting in no further net energy input. Such a container is called a holraum.What kind of effect would you see if an object (with a light source) was surrounded by a mirrored sphere?
it would not get brighter at all because you would not see the light.. even if sum how you got in there with out interfering with the light you wouldn't see it because the only way to see it is to interfere with the light.. the light would just bounce back and fourth infinitely.





Think of it as in space when your in space and you look out to the side an infinite amount of light rays are passing there but you do not see them because they are not coming your way. so it would actually be dark in there.. pitch black.. except there would be light rays bouncing and bouncing with no end to hit to light up the area.
