When light is reflected are the lumens reflected too?
Yes. The lumen is a measure of the strength of light; if light may be detected , it is done via the presence of photons, their intensity is the measure of luminosity.
If a substance appears red in color then what color light is reflected?
I think it's mainly the red light that's reflected from the object.
What happens when light strikes a substance?
It is reflected and/or absorbed depending on the color of the light and the object.
What is the proportion of light reflected by a planet?
The proportion varies with the density of the planet's atmosphere
What happens when a substance absorbs light?
When a substance absorbs light the wavelengths that correspond to that color cannot be seen. Only colors that are reflected are visible.
Will a given volume of a substance with low density be heavy or light?
Light.
What is the wavelenght of light reflected most from ocean water?
Whatever the color of the substance is, that's the light wave that is reflected most. So the ocean would mostly be green and blue. However black means no light is reflected, so the darker the less reflected.
What is the difference between reflected rays of light and refracted rays?
When a beam of light hits a mirror and bounces off, it is reflected. When light is refracted it means the light penetrates into a substance and changes the direction of its movement.
For a substance to appear white what must happen to all wavelength of light?
must be reflected
What substance to appear white what must happen to all wavelengths of light?
must be reflected
What happens when light passes through a plasma?
Light passes thru, gets absorbed or is reflected dependent on the wavelength of light and the density of the plasma.
How would you measure the brightness of light being reflected by an object?
by using a photometer
