Why can't a piece of paper reflect light?
Because the light can shine through it?
Would a clear piece of glass or a tinted window reflect light the best?
tinted glass
Why does a diamond shine more than a glass piece?
Diamond has a much greater refractive index than glass. When light falls on a diamond piece, it is reflected inside the piece many times. This makes the diamond shine.
Is this statement true or false a piece of glass reflects more light than a piece of paper?
Because the grass is smoother and shinier.
Explain why a flat piece of glass does not bring light to a focus while a curved piece of glass can?
When light passes through a flat piece of glass, like a window, the light is refracted at both surfaces, but the exiting ray of light is parallel to the entering ray and hence the light's path is not really changed.

Opaque absorb or reflect light?
Glass reflects some of the light that hits it, absorbs some of the lightthat enters it, but 'transmits' most of the light that hits it. That's whyyou can see things through it pretty easily.

What causes light to refract when it hits a piece of glass?
the light rays hit the piece of glass and the surface of the glass causes it to refract
Why does a piece of miror reflect light better than a piece of tinfoil?
because is emiting light
How does a periscope on a submarine work?
It consists of a set of high quality glass prisms. These reflect the light down the length of the periscope to the eye piece. This allows the viewer to see the surface.

How do you make working model on street light?
Most objects do not give off their own light; it has to reflect light to be seen. Shine a laser onto a mirror and hold a piece of paper up in front of the mirror, watch how the rays bounce from the laser to the mirror and off onto the paper.
What is a piece of glass used to diffract light?
PRISM
A triangular piece of glass that reflects light?
A prism?
