What do you need to see a shadow?
you need eyes a blocked path a light source. the light shines on the object blocking the path and reflects on the ground behind the objet and that is what you need to see a shadow
Can we curve light?
Very good question. To make a body to move along a curved path it has to be massive. But photon, the quantum of light, is having zero rest mass and even in motion negligible mass. If the particle is charged one, it can be driven along a curved path as in the case of charged particle in a magnetic field. But photon is charge less. But light can be bent. As light falls on a glass prism, then the out coming light is found to be deviated towards the base of the prism. By using the phenomenon of total internal reflection, light is easily taken through the optical fibres now a days. Light can be assumed to be along a curved path as if we see that light passes through curved optical fibre. But the reality is not so. With the idea of gravitational lens, of course, light can go along a curved path.
Does infrared radiation penetrate through smoke?
Yes, long-wave infrared will penetrate even very dense smoke. That's why thermal imagers are effective in firefighting. For instance, you can feel the heat (infrared spectrum) through smoke, but you cannot usually see through smoke (visible spectrum).
Light?
Travels in straight linesCan be reflectedAll/Most light can pass through transparent objectsSome light can pass through translucent objectsNo light can pass through opaque objects
Can you see light through a microscope?
YES
We can see through a glass how can we see through a glass?
When the light falls on an object , then it can be visible to our eyes , because of light . This is called reflection on an object . Hence , the statement : We can see through a glass has a question that : How will we see through a glass ? So whenever the object is in the path of the light the object is visible to us .
How can satellites see through clouds and smoke?
they can see through clouds but not smoke.
How can you see the beams of light from a car's headlights in fog or smoke?
the smoke reflects the light to your eyes then you see the smoke as a handicap for vision
What do you need to see a shadow?
you need eyes a blocked path a light source. the light shines on the object blocking the path and reflects on the ground behind the objet and that is what you need to see a shadow
Can you see the light path on a 55mw laser?
In daylight: no At night: yes
Do you see the path of light?
turn off all the lights in the room
Why is path of disco light visible?
The path of a disco light is visible because the light is on going until you turn the power off. Which is why you can see it and also because disco lights are usually colorful.
Why is you difficult for many people to see a meteor shower?
Many people may have difficulty seeing a meteor shower because they occur late at night when visibility is poor, light pollution from city lights can obscure the view, and weather conditions may not be optimal for viewing. Additionally, some meteor showers are faint and may require patience and a dark sky to be fully appreciated.
What is it called when light that can travel through something?
Objects that allow most light to pass through are described as transparent. In contrast, translucent objects allow some light to pass through, but don't let you see objects. Opaque objects allow no light to pass through.
Why can you see though water and glass?
You can see through them because light goes through them, and our eyes are built to see certain wavelengths of light.

What happens when light hits frosted glass?
Some of the light is reflected, some is absorbed by the glass, and the rest makes it all the way through and comes out of the other side. Since the glass is "frosted" or"ground", the light is scattered (bounces around) inside the glass, and doesn't follow a straight path. Although the light intensity and illumination survive the trip through it, images don't.
