Light is an energy force which has weight. Light particles rebound back to the eye because every object has a reflective surface. Perhaps we could ask the question "Why do we see things in different colors?"
Light is white in color. This white light is in actual fact a combination of all the colors of the spectrum. When light strikes an object the object will absorb some of the colors but reject others. The combination of these rejected colors give us the color we see. A green cover book is so because the colors blue and yellow were not absorbed by the material of the book cover.
Some say that because some objects absorb all colors the object is seen as black, or the absence of color. So why do we still see black objects? Because even a black object has a reflective surface.
What else can I help you with?
What is a term that means reflected light?
The light which enters is called the incident ray and the reflected light is called the reflected ray.
What are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow
How can a shadow be reflected?
It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.
What is the name of the ray that represents the light reflected by the surface.?
The ray that represents the light reflected by a surface is called the reflected ray.
What is reflected light from the water or light?
Water is a completely smooth surface and light is reflected from the sun.
How does light reflected?

Does earth reflected light on moon is same cool as moon reflected light?
no
What is The moons light is really reflected light from?
The moon's light is really reflected from the sunlight that hits the moon.
Does transmitted and reflected mean the same thing?
No, in the context of light, transmitted and reflected are not the same. Transmitted light is when light passes through a material, while reflected light is when light bounces off a surface.
What is the difference between light and reflected light?
Source light is light coming directly from a light source/emitter (i.e. a light bulb, the sun, stars, etc.). Reflected light is light coming indirectly from the light source/emitter. That could be reflected, refracted light, etc.
When light is reflected from a rough surface the reflected light does what while producing no image?
Bounces off
In what direction is the reflected light polarized?
Reflected light is polarized in the direction parallel to the reflecting surface.
