When light enters a new material will it reflects?
No how I think of it is it is like a rag it does not soak up right away it slower enters the fabric and then is wet
Why is a wet surface is a better reflector when it is wet?
A wet surface reflects light better than a dry surface because water is smooth and acts as a flat, continuous medium. This smoothness reduces the scattering of light, resulting in more efficient reflection. Dry surfaces can be rough, causing light to scatter in various directions rather than being reflected directly.
Why do things get darker when there wet?
When the things are wet, the water fills in some of the spaces between the fibers. This water acts just like a fiber optic cable, carrying the light through the material instead of reflecting it back to your eye. Since more of the light goes through the material, less of the light is reflected back and the wet spot looks darker.
Why do clothes get darker when they get wet?
Cloth normally reflects some light. Remember that materials absorb "not colors" and they reflect "colors" that they are. Make sense? If something is blue, it reflects blue light and absorbs the rest (the "not colors"). Let's jump. Take a piece of cloth that is absorbing some light and reflecting other light. Along comes water. Water is basically transparent to light. But it does refract, or "bend" light, do a degree. When cloth is wet, some of the light that otherwise might be reflected is scattered into the cloth, and the cloth is given a "second chance" to absorb more of the light - which it does. More light absorbed equates to darker color or appearance. Wet cloth absorbs more light because of the effects of the water. Water scatters some of the light, and the cloth absorbs more of that light than it would if it wasn't wet.
Why a rough surface such as a road becomes shiny in appearance and a better reflector when it is wet?
When a rough surface like a road becomes wet, the water fills in the gaps and irregularities in the surface, smoothing it out. The smooth surface of the water reflects more light, making it appear shiny and increasing its reflectivity.

Why is wet sand darker than dry sand?
Because wet hair repels light and weighs down your hair... Once the water evaporates the colour of your hair gets lighter because it reflects light. When its wet light takes a longer time to penetrate through your hair, thus leading in a darker colour... Until it drys. Your Welcome, x
What happens to light when driving on wet roads?
When driving on wet roads, light reflects off the surface of the water, causing glare and reducing visibility. This can make it harder to see clearly and judge distances, as well as increase the risk of accidents due to decreased visibility. Using headlights and driving more cautiously can help improve visibility in these conditions.

What is wet biomass?
Wet biomass refers to the total mass of biological material that includes both the living organisms and the water content within them. This measurement is often used in ecological and environmental studies to assess the productivity of ecosystems, as it reflects the overall weight of organisms in a given area. Wet biomass can include plants, animals, and microorganisms, and is crucial for understanding energy flow and nutrient cycling in ecosystems. It contrasts with dry biomass, which measures the mass of the biological material without water.
What class is dangerous when wet materials?
