What else can I help you with?
What does an object need to do for you to see it?
For you to see an object, it needs to reflect or emit light towards your eyes. Light bounces off the object and enters your eyes, where it is interpreted by your brain as vision.
Does an object have to be shiny to reflect light?
No, an object doesn't have to be shiny to reflect light. All objects reflect light to some extent, even if they are not shiny, because light can bounce off their surface regardless of their texture or appearance.
What is it called when objects reflect light?
It is called reflection. When objects reflect light, the light bounces off the surface of the object and into our eyes, allowing us to see the object.
To reflect mean to absorb light waves?
when light bounces off of a bumpy surface, will you see the object the light is striking
Why do colours of objects look different in the night?
there is no light to reflect off the object that you want to see
What light waves does a blue object reflect?
The wavelengths are corresponded to the color of the light. A blue object will reflect any light radiation expect the color blue. It will absorb the blue light.
What happens when light or sound is bounced off an object?
When light is bounced off an object, it can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted depending on the properties of the object's surface. When sound is bounced off an object, it creates an echo as the sound waves reflect off the surface and return to the source, resulting in a repeated or delayed sound.
What colour will a blue object look in red light?
A blue object will appear black in red light because red light does not contain any blue wavelengths to reflect off the object's surface. Since the object does not reflect any red light, no color will be perceived.
Why does a green object look black in red light?
For exactly the reason that you call it a "a green object". You describe it that way because most of the time, when it's being illuminated by light of all colors, the only color that it does NOT absorb, and that remains to bounce off of the object and be seen by your eye, is the green. When there is no green light striking the object, it can't reflect any light to your eye, and it appears black.
Why does light reflect off an object?
Light reflects off an object because of the interaction between the incoming light waves and the surface of the object. The smooth surface of an object allows light waves to bounce off in a predictable manner, following the law of reflection. This reflection is what allows us to see objects, as the light that reflects off them enters our eyes.
What colour will a yellow object look in red light and why?
It will look red. White light is made up of a spectrum of many colours. The primary colours are red, green and blue. An object (in white light) appears yellow because it reflects red and green light but absorbs blue light. In red light, the same object will simply reflect the red light. Since there is no green light, the object will appear red. (A mixture of red and green gives yellow)
Why The smaller an object is the less light reflects off it or passes through it?
When an object is small, its surface area-to-volume ratio increases, meaning there is less surface area for light to reflect off of or pass through. Instead, light is more likely to be absorbed by the object due to its smaller size. This is why smaller objects appear to absorb more light and reflect less compared to larger objects.
