Purely from observation of devices utilising UV rays i'd go with yes, as there are personal solar chargers that include mirrored reflectors to increase charge efficiencies.

What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?
They are reflected at the angle of incidence.
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror at an angle?
they are reflected at an equal opposing angle on a first-surface mirror. on a second surface (bathroom mirror) they are also reflected, but some are absorbed/disbursed by impurities and inconsistencies in the glass.
What is a line of reflection?
A line of reflection is a reflected line, often off of a mirror. If a flashlight sends a beam of light at a mirror (the light is called the incident beam), the angle at which it hits the mirror will equall the angle at which the reflected beam of light (called the reflected beam), exits the mirror. This is called the Law of Reflection. This is why light is reflected from a mirror at the same angle at which light struck its surface.

What is the reflected angle for a light beam hitting a mirror?
The angle of the reflected ray with the normal line to the surface of the mirror is the same as the angle of incidence. Snell's law.
What is the angle called when the reflected light rays make with the normal?
The angle is called the reflected angle.
What rays can be reflected on a mirror?
light rays
Are there UV rays in shade?
Oh yes. UV rays are easily reflected, as many mountaineers know. So protecting your eyes and face from reflected light is important.
Does a mirror reflect UV rays?
Yes
Explain the difference between the concave mirror and convex mirror?
A convex mirror bulges out. A concave mirror curves inward.For a convex mirror, light rays are reflected to meet at a point, while, for a concave mirror, light rays seem to be reflected from a point. If the incident rays were paraxial, the reflected rays are reflected to meet at, or appear to be reflected to a point referred to as the focal point of the lens. For a convex mirror, the focal point is real, while, that of a concave lens is virtual.
If a UV ray gets into your skin then you put sunscreen what happens to the UV ray?
Nothing will happen. UV rays are reflected after putting sunscreen.
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?
They are reflected at the angle of incidence.
Why convex mirror has virtual focus?
The convex mirror diverges light rays, so if you draw the reflected rays in front of the mirror and continue drawing them at the back of the mirror the virtual light rays (at the back of the mirror) will join. This point is called a Virtual Focus Point.
Which explains how a plane mirror works?
light rays reflect off an object, strike the mirror, and are reflected into your eyes.
Which light rays striking a concave mirror are reflected so that they pass through they focal point?
Rays which are parallel to the axis of the concave mirror will converge to the focal point.
True or false rays reflected from a convex mirror always converge?
False, diverge
What kind of mirror do you have if reflected rays of light pass through the principle focus when light hits a mirror parallel to the principle axis?
plane mirror
Which mirror is called converging mirror?
Parallel rays approaching the mirror are reflected in a converging manner to a focal point.
