What four factors have an affect on absorbance of light?
Light penetration refers to the depth that light can penetrate into a material. On water surfaces, the factors that can affect light penetration are the angle of the sun, density, wavelength and the type of water surface.
What two factors affect how much light is refracted?
The speed of light . ( but it's mostly ignored , since speed of light is constant in air " 3.0×108" )The Refractive Index of the medium the light is getting into .The angle of incidence to the boundary of the Medium.
Which3 factors determine the amount of light an object will reflect?
The amount of light a material reflects depends upon the kind of material in the reflector, the extent to which it is polished , and the angle at which the light strikes the surface. your welcome.
What are some factors that would affect the electrical production of a photovoltaic cell?
darkness. it needs light to work
The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of?
The angle of incidence

What are the physical factors of the environment affect living organism?
The physical factors which affect the environment are temperature,humidity,intensity of radiation of light &light..these are physical factors as they are about the mechanics..
How will the angle of light affect how much the piece of wood is heated?
The nagle of light determines the area over which the energy of the light is spread out and that will affect how much it is heated.
What are the three factors that affect photosynthsis?
Temperature Light Intensity Water
What are the factors that affect plant growth?
Light, water, carbon dioxide.
Water temperature and light are two factors that affect the tolerance range of organisms in a lake?
Abiotic factors.
What 3 factors affect where ocean life is found?
temperature, light, pressure
What are some of the factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Temperature, concentration of CO2, and light intensity
What are the 3 main factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Light, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature.
How does the angle of light affect the temperature of a surface?
The amount of energy reaching a given area from a source of radiant energy is dependent on the angle of incidence of the energy. Radiation that contacts a surface at an angle of 60° from the normal has half as much energy per unit of surface area as radiation that is parallel to the normal, radiation that reaches the surface at 70.53° from the normal has one third the energy per unit of area, radiation at 75.52° from the normal has one fourth as much energy, and so on. Therefore, if light is contacting a surface that absorbs some of it and converts it to heat, the angle of incidence of the light will affect the temperature. Such is the reason why winters are colder than summers.
