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.
Why metal surface shine?
because it is very smooth therefore it reflects the light
What device gives off electrons when light shines on a metal surface?
There is the photoelectric effect, which is the process that emitts electrons from a metals surface when light of a certain frequency shines on the surface. In the metal, the nuclei are surrounded by electrons, so when the incoming electrons strike the surface, they pull apart from the electrons of the metal because of how like charges detract from each other.
Is the metal zinc a good conductor of heats and electricity?
Yes it is.
How did laser cause a metal to change color?
Among the many laser effects have on metal's properties is the conversion of the surface of some metals, such as gold, into a matte black surface by making the outer layer of the metal highly porous and thus able to absorb virtually all light.
Is a metal a source of light?
Answer No, not in itself. Metal can be used as a component in artificial light sources, and metal can be used to reflect light, but metal does not make light. Answer Metals, when heated to a certain temperature, can emit light. For example, Light bulbs have filaments of Tungsten in them. Electricity flowing through the Tungsten heats it up and it emits light.
What is it called when the sun heats a metal surface?
study island answer: radiation
What light metal is used in cooking pans that heats and cools quickly?
Aluminium.
What kind of surface of a metal can light reflect off of?
A smooth shiny surface.
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 is an example of a conductor for conduction?
A metal spoon touching a hot pan. The pan heats the spoon. The spoon serves as a conductor of heat. This is an example of conduction.
Does light reflect off the surface of metal?
It reflects off the surface of shiny and smooth metals.
When electric flows through the metal filament of a high light bulbs what is electric energy transformed too?
Heat and light. The metal filament heats up to the point of incandescence in the visible part of the spectrum.
What type of metal heats most evenly?
i think led heats mosts evenly
What occurs when light strikes a metal and electrons are released?
The electrons in the electron sea absorb and re-emit the light.
What is the purpose of the filament inside the light bulb?
The filament is a special metal composition of tungsten that conducts current and heats up and emits light as a result of the current and its internal resistance.
Why can you see your reflection better in a price of metal if you Polish the surface?
A clean metallic surface appears shiny because it is reflecting light. The interaction is due to the conductivity of the surface of the metal. When surface conditions change, the reflectivity is reduced.
