Do shiny materials reflect or absorb radiant energy?
Shiny materials reflect radiant energy because of their smooth surface that allows light to bounce off without much absorption. This reflection properties give shiny materials their unique luster and brightness when exposed to light.
Does material affect heat light absorption?
Yes, different materials have varying abilities to absorb and reflect heat and light. Factors such as color, texture, and composition can all impact how much heat and light a material absorbs. Darker and rougher materials generally absorb more heat and light compared to lighter and smoother materials.
What light makes what ever is strikes feel warmer?
Infrared light is responsible for making whatever it strikes feel warmer. This type of light carries energy that can be felt as heat when it is absorbed by objects, including our skin.
What word is used for materials that light can pass through?
Transparent materials allow light to freely pass through them. Translucent materials also allow light to pass through them, but change the colour of the light.
What are materials that transmit some light?
The word for materials that transmit some light is translucent.
Why do opaque materials become warmer when light shines on them?
You must have Mr. Williams.
What happens when light hits opaque materials?
Generally, some will get reflected and some will get absorbed and converted to heat.

Why is winter clothing generally darker in color than summer clothing?
Because dark clothing is warmer than light clothing.
When sunlight falls on a pair of reading glasses and a pair of dark sunglasses which pair of glasses would you expect to become warmer?
The sunglasses would be warmer under the light then reading glasses because it is vibrating more electrons rather than reading glasses do because they let light pass through them.
How does visible light cause earths surface to become warmer?
Visible light is an insignificant portion of the solar radiation that warms the Earth. The sun's infrared radiation, also known as 'heat', is responsible for virtually all of it.
How does the speed of light change as light goes through different materials?
It slows down when travelling through materials whose refractive index (optical density, NOT physical density) is high. Gases generally have low refractive indices but with liquids and solids, there it depends on the substance.
What word is used for materials that light can pass through?
Transparent materials allow light to freely pass through them. Translucent materials also allow light to pass through them, but change the colour of the light.
Is there a light blanket that is good to use in the warmer months?
using a all cotton ,(not wool )is best for the warmer months
Why is it so light out when it snows?
It is light outside when it snows because snow, being white, reflects light making it lighter. Black materials absorb light (for example roads can become quite hot in the summer if you've ever noticed) whereas white materials reflect light. This is why in countries like Spain, houses are often painted white.
Why do flameless candles flicker?
Flameless candles flicker to mimic the natural movement of a real flame, providing a more realistic and soothing ambiance. The flickering effect is created by a built-in mechanism that simulates the dancing motion of a traditional candle flame.
What are materials that transmit some light?
The word for materials that transmit some light is translucent.
