Unlike other metals, gold will not tarnish or rust. It is completely recyclable and virtually immune to the effects of air, water, and oxygen. Its beauty combined with a host of other properties make it an important material for a wide range of uses.
Property
Gold is the most heat reflective (capable of reflecting or bouncing back heat) material known. High purity gold reflects up to 99% of infrared rays.
Use
Gold is used in life-saving shields for astronauts and workers exposed to very high heat. Exposure Time: 0.020 s (1/50) Aperture: f/4.5 Sensitivity: 100 ISO Focal Length: 38 mm Make: Canon Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL Owner: Ruben Schoenefeld Camera Number: 1560516904 Image Number: 1929263 |
