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.
What happens when a ray of light strikes a flat water surface?
Whenever light hits a water surface, some of the light is reflected off, and some of it is refracted, or "bent", deeper into the water. The proportion that is reflected and refracted depends on the wavelength of the light and the angle of incidence. When light goes straight down into the water, most of it penetrates the surface and goes into the water. When the light impacts at an angle, more of the light is reflected away.
When is light refracted?
light is refracted when it travels through air and then through glass
What happened to light when it is refracted?
When light is Refracted it bends when it travels from one medium to another
How is light refracted and reflected?
Light is perfectly reflected from a surface when the roughness of the surface is small compared to the wavelength of the light. Otherwise the reflection is diffuse.Light is refracted when it passes from one medium to another of a different refractive index. One in which the light travels at a different speed than in vacuo.
Why is a lunar eclipse called a blood moon?
During a total lunar eclipse some light is refracted through Earth's atmosphere and onto the moon's surface. Because the refracted light is red, the moon will appear red like blood.
How light is reflected and refracted in a diamond?
Light is reflected and refracted in a diamond based on the angles of its facets relative to the source of the light.
What will happen if the light hits a plane surface and a rough surface?
If the light hits a plane surface, regular reflection will take place and if light hits a rough surface, diffused (irregular) reflection will take place. Here is a diagram for both. Diffused (irregular) Regular
How will you compare prism to raindrops?
Light is refracted and reflected by a (glass) prism Light is refracted and reflected by a raindrop
When is light not refracted?
Light is not refracted when while it passes through a vacuum, or through any uniform material.
When does light bounce?
When it is refracted.
When light goes through a camera lens is it reflected or refracted?
It would be refracted.
