What is bouncing back of light waves?
Reflection.
What is refraction diffraction and reflection?
Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another. Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles and openings. Reflection is the bouncing back of waves when they encounter a boundary or surface that cannot pass through.
When a wave hits a surface through which it cannot pass it bounces back and undergoes what?
Reflection
What cannot pass through an opaque material?
Light cannot pass through an opaque material.
What is a sound reflecting off a surface or other material?
When a sound wave hits a surface, it may bounce back rather than pass through it. This bouncing of sound waves off a surface is called sound reflection. The angle at which the sound wave hits the surface affects how it reflects.
When a wave hits a surface through which it CANNOT pass and bounces back it undergoes?
When a wave hits a surface through which it cannot pass and bounces back, it undergoes reflection. The angle at which the wave hits the surface is equal to the angle at which it bounces back, following the law of reflection.
What is an object that allows light to pass through but cannot be seen through?
One example of an object that allows light to pass through but cannot be seen through is frosted glass. Frosted glass has a textured surface that scatters light as it passes through, making it difficult to see objects on the other side clearly.
What happens when a wave hits a barrier it cannot pass through?
A mechanical wave travels through a medium because a medium is necessary for the propagation of that wave. With a mechanical wave, like sound, mechanical energy is put intothe wave, and the medium carries the energy of the wave. This is in contrast to an electromagnetic wave (like light) which can move through a total vacuum.
Is the bouncing back of a wave after it?
Yes, the bouncing back of a wave after it hits a barrier or boundary is known as reflection. This phenomenon occurs when the wave encounters a surface that doesn't allow it to pass through, causing it to rebound in the opposite direction. Reflection is a fundamental behavior of waves and is important in various fields of science and technology.
Why is the mirror a translucent object?
A mirror is not a translucent object; it is a reflective object. Translucent objects allow light to pass through them, but scatter it in different directions, whereas mirrors reflect light by bouncing it off their smooth surface.
Which molecules cannot pass through the membrane?
Large molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids cannot pass through the cell membrane.
What is the bouncing back of a ray of light sound or heat when the ray hits the surface that it doesn't go through?
This phenomenon is known as reflection. When a ray of light, sound, or heat hits a surface and bounces back without penetrating the material, it undergoes reflection. Reflection occurs due to the change in medium or the angle at which the ray hits the surface.
