The tree is illuminated.
The same as when it hits other objects. Part of the light will be absorbed, part of it will be reflected.
The light sctters into a spectrum.
When a ray of light hits a surface, two things can happen: reflection, where the light bounces back off the surface, and refraction, where the light enters the material and changes direction.
It is reflected.
When light hits a mirror, it is reflected back with the same angle as it hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (reflected light).
When a ray of light hits a surface, it can either be reflected, where it bounces off the surface, or refracted, where it enters the material and bends as it travels through.
When sunlight shines on a tree, the energy transformation is from light energy to chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. The tree uses the light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which it can then use for growth and metabolic processes.
When light hits a translucent glass, some of the light is transmitted through the glass, some is absorbed by the glass, and some is scattered within the glass. This scattering causes the light to appear diffused rather than simply passing straight through.
When light hits the water and reflects back, it is called glare. Glare can happen when the angle of incidence matches the angle of reflection, causing the light to bounce off the surface directly back towards the observer's eyes.
When light hits a material, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the material. Absorption results in the light energy being converted to other forms of energy, such as heat. Reflection involves the light bouncing off the surface of the material. Transmission is when the light passes through the material.
When light hits an object, it can be absorbed (taken in by the object), reflected (bounced off the object), transmitted (pass through the object), or refracted (bent as it passes through the object).
When light hits a glass box, some of it will be transmitted through the glass, some will be reflected off the surface of the glass, and some will be absorbed by the glass. The amount of light that is transmitted, reflected, and absorbed depends on the properties of the glass, such as its thickness and composition.
When light hits a two-way glass, part of the light is reflected back in the directionit came from, while part of it goes one way, part of it goes the other way, and therest of it is absorbed by the glass and goes nowhere.
