If light is not reflected what happens to it?
If light is not reflected, it can be absorbed by a material or pass through it, depending on the properties of the material. In the case of absorption, the light energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as heat. If the light passes through the material, it can continue on to interact with other substances.
What happens to the energy from the sun that is neither reflected nor absorbed by the atmosphere?
The rest passes through the atmosphere where it warms the Earth's surface. A small amount (7%) is reflected by ice and oceans.
When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a denser one most of the wave energy is?
When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a denser one, most of the wave energy is answer is reflected FALSE
When sunlight is absorbed by an object the energy from the sun will heat the object On the other hand if the light is reflected or passes through the object the object is heated to a lesser degree?
When sunlight is absorbed by an object, the object absorbs the energy from the sun, causing it to heat up. If the light is reflected or passes through the object, less energy is absorbed, resulting in the object being heated to a lesser degree. This is due to how different materials interact with light energy.
How do you explain how light can be reflected refracted transmitted or absorbed?
Light can be reflected when it bounces off a surface, refracted when it changes direction while passing through a different medium, transmitted when it passes through a material without being absorbed, and absorbed when its energy is taken in by a material, converting it into other forms of energy such as heat.
What are 3 things that can happen to a wave when it encounters an object?
When a wave encounters an object, it can be reflected (bounced back), absorbed (converted into other forms of energy), or transmitted through the object (passes through).
What happens to sunlight that strike a leaf but is not trapped by photosynthesis?
The sunlight that strikes a leaf but is not trapped by photosynthesis is reflected back by the leaf. Only certain wavelengths of solar energy is absorbed by a leaf.
What happen when a waves strikes a boundary between two materials?
Usually part of the wave energy is reflected, and part of the wave energy passes through, possibly at a different angle (i.e., refraction may occur).
When a passes from a less dense medium to a denser one most of the wave energy is?
When a wave passes from a less dense medium to a denser one, most of the wave energy is answer is reflected FALSE
Sound energy that passes through a solid is said to be reflected?
Sound energy that pass through a solid is said to be reflected because as sound waves pass from air to a solid, some of the energy is reflected back into the air. Some of the energy will be absorbed by the new medium.
Is light reflected or refracted when it passes through a transparent medium?
Light can be both reflected and refracted when it passes through a transparent medium. Reflection occurs when light bounces off the surface of the medium, while refraction happens when light changes direction as it moves through the medium.
What happens to the speed of sound when it passes through a solid?
It is reflected because of the way the particles are transmited
