What happens to light when it strikes clear glass?

The light that does not cross the boundary is reflected back into the glass. (Or back into the air, if that is where it started.)


When light bounces back at the same in which it hit an object?

When light hits an object/surface, it's either reflected, absorbed, or refracted. For light to bounce back, the reflection has to be "specular", like a mirror. So the light bounces back with the same(reflected) image. For light to be reflected back at the source. The light has to hit perpendicular to the surface, which is 90°.


What is the difference between reflected and refraction?

Reflection is for the light rays to bounce, and refraction is for the light rays to bend. maybe not equally, but enough to bend or bounce.


When light hits a mirror does it bounce regularly?

It depends on the shape of mirror. If the mirror is straight and not curved, light bounces back in a manner. If it is curved, the reflected image will look different.


What property of light allows it to bounce off a page?

Wave properties. these allow it to be reflected, or partially reflected by various surfaces.


What happens when light waves get reflected?

The light waves bounce off the surface and travel in a new direction


When light rays hit a rough surface and bounce back at different angles?

Light will be both absorbed and will be reflected unevenly (scattered) when impinging on a surface that is irregular. It depends on the light and the surface, but some light will be absorbed, and the rest (a little or a lot) will be scattered when it is reflected in different directions.


Can your eyes only see colors that bounce off or are reflected by an object?

Yes, everything you see is the light that is reflected by objects/materials. It is the properties of a material that determines the color of the light it reflects.


What is the ability of an object to reflect light?

To bounce back light is called to reflect light. light reflection is of two types-regular and irregular reflection.


How will light hitting a solid surface be reflected back?

when a light ray is thrown on a PLANE surface two things occur which cause light to reflect 1- the incident ray is equal to the reflected ray 1- the incident ray , the reflected ray and the normal, at the point of incidence, all lie at the same plane


When light is reflected from the surface it is?

It is reflected and sent back into the atmosphere. Sometimes it is absorbed by clouds.


The bouncing back of a ray of light?
