Do Lighter color surfaces reflect more or less energy than darker colored ones?
Light is energy. More light is reflected by light coloured surfaces. Therefore...
What is the difference between emitting and reflecting?
reflected light comes from smooth surfaces such as mirrors
Light that hits solid surfaces is reflected back were?
If you can see the light reflected, then it has hit your eyes, and your brain is processing it as the sense of sight, if you cannot see it, then it has reflected somewhere other than your eyes-IE; back into space, or it is a wavelength of light that the human eye cannot detect.
What happens it light when it strikes in plane mirror?
It is reflected at the same angle it hit the mirror at
If you're driving towards the sun late in the afternoon you can reduce the glare from the road by wearing sunglasses that permit only the passage of light that's?
You can reduce the glare from the road by wearing sunglasses that permit only the passage of light that is polarized in a vertical plane. Polarized lenses, if correctly positioned, can block all reflected light from horizontal surfaces such as roads. Non-polarized sunglasses simply reduce the amount of light passing through, but some glare from reflected light remains.
How do you describe matte surfaces in art?
In art, matte surfaces are surfaces that have little or no reflected light or shine. It's opposite is a gloss surface that reflects light.In art, matte surfaces are surfaces that have little or no reflected light or shine.

The path of light reflected of of flat surfaces?
Reflection
What is transmitted by glass but reflected by silver surfaces?
light
How will light hitting a solid surface be reflected back?
when a light ray is thrown on a PLANE surface two things occur which cause light to reflect 1- the incident ray is equal to the reflected ray 1- the incident ray , the reflected ray and the normal, at the point of incidence, all lie at the same plane
What are Most commonly used surfaces that light waves are reflected?
mirror
What property of light allows it to bounce off a page?
Wave properties. these allow it to be reflected, or partially reflected by various surfaces.
Do Lighter color surfaces reflect more or less energy than darker colored ones?
Light is energy. More light is reflected by light coloured surfaces. Therefore...
What are the kinds of reflected light?
Generally Two types.Specular: Smooth surfaces direct reflected light at opposite angle. A mirror is a good example of specular reflection.Diffused: Rough surfaces scatter light in all directions. Matt white surfaces are examples.There are other surfaces that combine both types of reflection.(See the Sources and related links below for more information)
When light is reflected?
light is reflected when it falls on some object. every object has the ability to reflect light.
What is the difference between emitting and reflecting?
reflected light comes from smooth surfaces such as mirrors
Why the color of crumpled plastic white?
The color of crumpled plastic is white because it reflects light of all wavelengths in the visable range. Light is reflected from a reflective surface at approximately 2 precent of the total light shining on it. When there is a second reflective surface beneath it light is also reflected but if both photons are in the same phase then the square of the total from both surfaces is reflested back ie. 16 percent, if they are out of phase they cancel out and no light is reflected. So when several reflective surfaces are layerd most of the light is reflected. If it is illuminated by white light then white light will be reflected.
How does light respond to different surrfaces?
Light responds differently to different surfaces. Depending on the surface different amounts of the light will be reflected and refracted.
