Do planets emit light or reflect light?
Planets reflect light.
Do starts reflect light?
I belive stars make light, not reflect them.
Dark spheres that reflect light from the sun?
Planets are dark spheres that reflect light from the sun.
Do solar panels reflect light?
no, solar panels don't reflect light
What is a tool that gathers light with mirrors and lenses called?
Cameras and reflecting telescopes gather light using mirrors and lenses.
How do mirrors and lenses compare in their interaction with light?
Mirrors reflect light; lenses do not. APEX 0-0
Do mirrors reflect or refract light?
A prism refracts light, and a mirror reflects light.
Why is a concave mirror used in microscopes instead of convex lenses?
To focus AND reflect light through the specimen slide to the lenses.
What part reflects the microscope light?
Mirror - It is used to reflect light through the object and lenses of the eye.
Why are lenses and mirrors used in optical tools?
Because they converge, diverge and reflect light.
Which term best describes what happens when light interacts with a mirror?
Mirrors reflect light, lenses dont
Can mirrors cameras telescope and eye glasses refract light?
Mirrors don't refract, they reflect. All lenses, on the other hand, refract (bend) the light. All cameras have lenses, to focus the image; same for eyeglasses. Some telescopes have lenses, but others are collections of mirrors. Note that some few optical elements are lenses and mirrors - like prescription sunglasses with mirror coating.
How are mirror and lenses similar?
Mirrors and lenses both reflect light. The only difference is that a lens creates a real image on the opposite side of the object whereas a mirror creates a real image on the same side as the object.
What are the camera lens' with the side things called?
A camera lens may have a shield called a "lens hood" encircling it to prevent strong light entering from the side. Although such side light would not be focused with the image, it could reflect off the internal surfaces of the lenses to cause a "flare" of light within the image. This problem is more critical in lenses with many elements and lenses of long focal length, so we most often see lens hoods on telephoto lenses.
How do concave and convex lenses work?
convex lenses bend light to a smaller beam
How are convex lenses and concave lenses the same?
They are not the same. Convex lens bulge outward, and concave lenses go in ward. Convex lenses focus light, and concave lenses spread light out.
Do planets emit light or reflect light?
Planets reflect light.
