Is light bending going through a prism an example of a reflection?
Light bending as it passes through a prism is an example of refraction, not reflection.
The bending of light from one material to another is?
reflection or refraction
Why do some material objects look shiny?
Some object appears to be shiny due to the wave nature of light. The bending of light (as it passes an object) causes the object to appear shiny due to its reflection.
What does refraction means in terms of rainbows?
Refraction of bending lightrefraction means the bending of light, and the refraction of light in a prism causes to 'split' light in all its colors (that we can see and not see)Refraction is the bending of light. The bending of light is defined mathematically by Snell's law. The degree of bending through rain drops produces the various colors of the rainbow.
An interaction of light with matter that causes light to change direction?
Reflection or refraction.
Is light bending going through a prism an example of a reflection?
Light bending as it passes through a prism is an example of refraction, not reflection.
What is reflection and refraction light?
Reflection of light is the bending of light from its point. while refraction is the diverging of light from its bearing.
The bending of light from one material to another is?
reflection or refraction
Is the bending of light when passes from air to water is called a reflection?
Yes
Why do some material objects look shiny?
Some object appears to be shiny due to the wave nature of light. The bending of light (as it passes an object) causes the object to appear shiny due to its reflection.
How is the formation of a rainbow different form the formation of a mirage?
A mirage is light bending A rainbow is a reflection
The of light rays is caused by glass bending light rays?
no, the light rays are caused due to reflection,transmission and absorption of light. Index of refraction.
Is there a distinction between light reflection and light refraction?
When a ray of light strikes an obstacle it changes its path this is called reflection of light whereas the bending of light ray while traveling from one medium to other is called refraction.
What are refractive and reflective?
refraction is the bending of light rays when they pass through an object reflection is the light energy that bounces off objects
What is reflection and refraction of light?
Reflectivity isn't a property of light, it's a property of the surface that reflects the light. It is the proportion of the energy in an incoming light beam which when it hits the surface is reflected rather than absorbed.
Is reflection the bending of light?
No,its called refraction. this actually happens when the light passes from one medium to another and thus the velocity of light changes, which enable the light to bend.
What is Reflection of light called in all direction?
Visible light causes reflection of light in all directions
