Most of the materials that are shiny is because almost all the incident light is reflected back. Aluminum foil shines more than a sheet of lead because aluminum has less rigid area on its outer surface reflecting light effectively. Opaque glass slab also reflects almost all of the incident light.
What else can I help you with?
Can light reflected and transmitted at a boundary?
Yes, when light encounters a boundary between two different mediums, it can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed. The amount of light reflected and transmitted depends on the properties of the materials involved, such as their refractive indices and angles of incidence.
In which direction does light oscillate if it is reflected off a shiny transparent surface?
Light oscillates in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the shiny transparent surface when it is reflected. This is known as the normal direction.
How does light interact with shiny metal?
It reflects the light, that is how the surface seems shiny.When light hits a shiny surface it is reflected and is sometimes bent.
What are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow
Do shiny materials reflect or absorb radiant energy?
The shiny materials are said to reflect most radiant energy. That's what gives them the quality of being shiny. Generally speaking, shiny materials are reflecting most of the light striking them, and this translates into the fact that shiny materials generally do not absorb radiant energy.
What happens when light is reflected?
Reflections occur when light bounces of a smooth and shiny surface. Glass mirrors have a thin layer of silver on the back so that light is reflected.
When light bounces off of a shiny surface what is it said to be?
When light bounces of a shiny surface, such as a mirror, this is called specular reflection.(Diffuse reflection is when light bounces of a rough surface, such as a wall. You can tell it's a rough surface because you can't see your reflection.)
What happens when light strikes a smooth shiny colored glass?
.Most of it is absorbed.none is reflected
When light is reflected?
light is reflected when it falls on some object. every object has the ability to reflect light.
What surface will a ray of light be reflected?
A ray of light will be reflected off a surface that is smooth and shiny, such as a mirror, glass, or water. These surfaces have the ability to reflect light rays according to the law of reflection.
Can light energy be reflected?
Yes, light energy can be reflected when it strikes a surface that is smooth and shiny, such as a mirror. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence, according to the law of reflection.
Reflection is when light what?
Reflections occur when light bounces of a smooth and shiny surface. Glass mirrors have a thin layer of silver on the back so that light is reflected.
