How is there light from the moon?
It is the small amount of light reflected from the sun.
What happens to the amount of light reflected by the moon to the earth as it turns towards the sun?
it is because of this reflected light you can clearly see the moon
The amount of light reflected by an object depends on the of that object?
Material
What is the name of the amount of sunlight that the surface of the moon reflects?
In astronomy, the amount of light reflected by the Moon - or by any other object - is called "albedo", which literally means "whiteness".In astronomy, the amount of light reflected by the Moon - or by any other object - is called "albedo", which literally means "whiteness".In astronomy, the amount of light reflected by the Moon - or by any other object - is called "albedo", which literally means "whiteness".In astronomy, the amount of light reflected by the Moon - or by any other object - is called "albedo", which literally means "whiteness".
How long could light reflect?
Light is reflected by an object for however long a light source is shining on it. Also, even when the light source is gone, the light that was reflected continues for an infinite amount of time.
What are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow
The moon receives its light from?
The Sun. A tiny amount is reflected from the Earth and a tinier amount still comes from stars.
Is production of rainbow light reflected or refracted?
A reflected light would be light reflected by a mirror, and the light would remain unchanged. A reflected light of daylight is when white light is split into 'rainbow' colours.
What is a term that means reflected light?
The light which enters is called the incident ray and the reflected light is called the reflected ray.
What causes the lunar phase?
Amount of light from sun that reach/reflected-by the moon as the earth revolves the sun.
How can a shadow be reflected?
It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.
When light passes from air to glass the light may change direction due to reflection?
yes .. at any interface when light passes from one medium to another part of it gets reflected and remaining refracted. so some amount of light incident when passing from air to glass gets reflected. but in the reverse way i.e, from glass to air there is chance for all the light incident to get reflected as in the case of total internal reflection. and again coming to your case the amount of light reflected follows the laws of reflection i.e, angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. the light which got refracted follows the snell's laws of refraction.
