Can light energy be reflected?
Of course . . . in your mirror!
What happens to the energy in the wavelengths of light that are not reflected?
they are absorbed
Why do darker colors absorb the most heat?
White light is a mixture of colors. When white light strikes a dark object little or no energy is reflected. When white light strikes a white object the energy is mostly reflected, not absorbed.Miissmeg.
What determines the direction of energy transfer in a phase change?
light is form of energy then light is reflected at boundary of rarer medium and denser medium reflected ray is phase change of 180 degree's energy is phase changed direction of energy is opposite of transfer ed way
What happens when light energy hits an object?
The light gets reflected from the object and into your eyes so you can see

In what form is radiant energy reflected back into space?
Energy is re-radiated by the Earth as infrared (thermal) radiation.
What happens to the energy in the wavelengths of light that are not reflected?
they are absorbed
Objects in space that can only be viewed from earth because of reflected light energy are said to be what?
Objects in space that can only be viewed from earth becouse of reflected light energy are said to be
Objects in space that can only be viewed from earth because of reflected light energy are said to be?
objects in space that can only be viewed from earth because of reflected light energy are said to be luminous.
Why do darker colors absorb the most heat?
White light is a mixture of colors. When white light strikes a dark object little or no energy is reflected. When white light strikes a white object the energy is mostly reflected, not absorbed.Miissmeg.
What happens to sun light that strikes a leaf but is not trap by the chlorophyll?
It is either transmitted or reflected. Often, different portions of the light do both.
What does reflected light mean?
When light is reflecting itself because of another object

What are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow
Can light be reflected?
The reflection of light occurs when an electromagnetic wave (light) is absorbed by an electron (particle) which gains kinetic energy (speed) and then releases its energy in the form of light. This effect can be explained classically by Thomson scattering and more recently Compton scattering. Some light is not reemitted due to resonance and retention of kinetic energy by the electron resulting in absorption. If the absorption is at a certain wavelength, the reflected light appears to be a certain color. Mirrors are able to create an image because they have a very smooth surface. This enables the surface to reflect light uniformly as opposed to scattering it in all directions like most objects.
