What happens when a substance absorbs light?
When a substance absorbs light the wavelengths that correspond to that color cannot be seen. Only colors that are reflected are visible.
What happens in a periscope?
The top of the periscope has a prism that reflects the light to the observers prism. The object the top prism is pointed at is seen at the bottom one.
What happens when you shine a light ray into a light prisim?
When the light ray strikes the surface of the prism, both when it enters and when it leaves, it bends owing to the different in the speeds of light in air and the material of which the prism is made. The amount of bending depends in part on the frequency of the light which is related to the colour of the light, hence the appearance of a colour spectrum which can be seen from a triangular prism.
What happens when light strikes translucent material?
-- A portion of the light energy reflects back from the surface of the material. -- A portion of thelight energy is absorbed into the material and never seen again. -- The remainder of the light energy proceeds on through the material and emerges unbowed and undeterred from the other side.
When is an object can be seen?
when there's light .. :))

Why can't anything be seen in a black hole?
Nothing can be seen in a black hole because all the light particles are sucked into the depths of the hole, and then no one knows what happens....
What is the name of the path of the sun as seen from the earth?
The ecliptic.

When was Seen the Light created?
Seen the Light was created on 2003-01-27.
What is papi lights?
PAPI light, or Precision Approach Path Indicator lights, is a system usually located on the left side of the runway. It provides lighting for an aircraft's glide path and can be seen from up to five miles away in the daytime and twenty miles away at night.
Do you see your family because light from a light source scatters off them into your eyes?
Light is absorbed at certain frequencies by the atoms in the compounds making up whatever is being seen; that light is then re-emitted in all directions by the atoms, and is seen via a chemical reaction setting off an electric signal in the nerves in the eye. So, while "scattering" is not quite the perfect term, relative to what actually happens, it has the same end result and happens in roughly the same way.
What is made up of electromagnetic radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation make light by the high energy that it produces that is able to be seen with the naked eye
If a flashlight is shone into a dark room the light source is detected once the light touches a surface Why isn't there a stream of light evidencing the sun as earth's light source from outer-space?
In a dark room a stream of light may be seen eminating from a torch because the light is reflected off dust in the air, no stream of light can be seen eminating from the sun because the space between the sun and the earth is a vaccum, leaving nothing to reflect the light from its path. Moreover, once sunlight hits our atmosphere, there is a great deal of diffusion, giving rise to the general brightness of the daytime sky. what are ya'll talking about?? Or think about turning on a bedside lamp at night. The reach of the light is the strength of the bulb and the stream of light is controlled by something obstructing its path i.e. lamp shade or the end of your bed.
Can light colors be seen in the dark?
yes because light colours can be seen on dark colours
What is a light wave?
Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colors of the rainbow. Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength. When all the waves are seen together, they make white light.
