Does an electromagnetic shield reflect?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the reflective properties of electromagnetic shields, specifically using graphene nanoparticles as an example. Participants debate whether a pulse of electromagnetic waves, such as radio or gamma waves, would be reflected by these shielded nanoparticles. The concept of infinite dispersion of these nanoparticles in a medium, such as water, is also explored, questioning the implications of such a scenario on signal reflection. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in scientific communication to ensure comprehension.

Let say a nanoparticle (graphene) is electromagnetic shield. If we send a pulse of magnetic wave will it get reflected back. If it reflects can that be interpreted. And what happens if there going to be infinite EM shielded nanoparticles. Is that any kind signal which will reflects back from shielded particle?

What is a magnetic wave? Do you mean an electromagnetic wave? In that case: like a mirror?

What exactly is infinite here?
 
Well if particle is shielded with EM shield and if we going to send radio or gamma wave does it going to reflect back
 
Well if particle is shielded with EM shield and if we going to send radio or gamma wave does it going to reflect back. Infinite (lot of nanoparticle dispersed in water)

That's not a word. It's not even slang. It's just baby talk.

Nothing you have written is comprehensible. I suggest you think about it from the perspective of your reader and see if you make your question clear in her mind.
