Scattering if it happens at random and said to be "reflection" if it is stream lined.

Does sound need to be reflected when it bounces off a shiny surface?
"Bounce off" means the same as "reflect" in this context.
What does absorption mean it the water cycle?
Physics is the study of such concepts of motion, force, energy, matter, heat, sound, light and the components of atoms. Physics is basic to both physical
What does it mean in light years when an object is 3.8x10m?
Divide this distance - 38 meters, is it? - by the distance of a light-year (about 9.5 x 1015 meters).
What does it mean when the color of an object in the universe shifts toward red?
It is the color of the light shift. either red or blue, from an object, not the object itself, that determines if it is moving away( RED) from us or moving toward us (BLUE).
Does the amount of light increase if more and more flashlight beams are combined into one beam?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'the amount of light', or how you might plan to 'combine' several beams. When more flashlights shine on a surface, the intensity of illumination on the surface increases.
What dose reflection mean?
Is the bouncing back of light rays when they hit an object.
What is the term for reflection of a light wave from and uneven surface?
A wave reflecting from an irregular surface experiences what is called as Diffuse or irregular Reflection. If light is reflected from a smooth surface (think of a mirror) then it is called specular reflection. With diffuse reflection, light goes off from the surface in a range of directions which does not create a reflected image. In diffuse reflection, one sees basically a chaotic sampling of light reflected from the object emitting the light and so normally one can detect little about shape and only get information about the colors of the light source.
To reflect mean to absorb light waves?
when light bounces off of a bumpy surface, will you see the object the light is striking
What does indirect light mean?
Light that is still shinning on an object but not directly at the object
How do people see colors?
The light goes through on object then the light reflact to our eye from object as the eye job is receiving the light , ( eyes are receiving the color it mean the you can see the color of any side of the object so finally you see the whole object)
What does friction mean in science?
Friction is a force that is created when an object or surface moves over another object or surface making the object to resist the direction of motion ( accelerate in the opposite direction).
What colour will blue be in a green light?
Blue what ? ! ? Do you mean an object that appears blue in white light ? Such an object appears black in green light.
What does reflected light mean?
When light is reflecting itself because of another object
What does it mean to have a shadow in your cerrabellum?
it is when an object blocks the light
What does in lucem mean?
Light (accusative direct object).
What does reflective mean?
The term reflection refers to the portion of a wave that is not absorbed by a surface, but is returned from it. When a wave impinges on a surface, some of it will absorbed, and some will "bounce off" the surface. The "bouncing off" is reflection, and the amount that is reflected or absorbed will depend on what the wave is and what kind of surface it encounters, as you might expect. Let's look at just a couple of examples. Sunlight that impinges on polished aluminum is almost all reflected and only a few percent is absorbed. If that sunlight hits a black surface, most of it will be absorbed and little will be reflected.
