If you run into a mirror with the speed of light, would you cause a bright flash on the wall opposite?

... or may be you will just have to buy yet another mirror?If you run into a mirror with the speed of light, would you cause a bright flash on the wall opposite?
Yes.


Happens all the time.


Light (which travels the speed of light) is reflected when it strikes a mirror, and if there is a wall opposite the mirror the reflection will make a flash on that wall.

If it weren't for the light entering the optical lens, you wouldn't ';see'; the mirror!
Some theorize that anything traveling at the speed of light would be light. So maybe. If an object was traveling at the speed of light and hit a mirror it would shatter the mirror into incredibly smaller parts. Possibly even shattering complex atoms into simpler elements. Imagine the energy created by such impact. By the way, this is far from a philosophy type issue!
no just some bruises and loads of broken glass
No, but you'd have a whopping headache
You'd burn up before you even got close!





Sorry... have to edit to think about ikiraf's answer below! If anything travelling at the speed of light IS light then surely it would just reflect off the mirror like any other light with none of the reactions you describe.
Only if there happened to be a speed camera.
If you ran into a mirror at the speed of light, most likely you'd be dead from the impact. The last thin on your mind would be if there wasa light reflected on an opposite wall.
No - you would however cause a big red splash across everything.
