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.
yes it does because it has no affect at all from being reflected it is always going to shine because its light
light is reflected in straight lines.....
how light is reflected ?
the light gets reflected and bent
Yes,
It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.
A reflecting telescope "Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image".
When light is stopped it is normally said that absorption has taken place. Opaque objects normally absorb light and thus it does not get reflected or refracted.
some part of light reflected from the chair enters our eyes
when a light ray is thrown on a PLANE surface two things occur which cause light to reflect 1- the incident ray is equal to the reflected ray 1- the incident ray , the reflected ray and the normal, at the point of incidence, all lie at the same plane
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow
A reflected light would be light reflected by a mirror, and the light would remain unchanged. A reflected light of daylight is when white light is split into 'rainbow' colours.
The light which enters is called the incident ray and the reflected light is called the reflected ray.

Water is a completely smooth surface and light is reflected from the sun.
no
Light can be reflected because it bounces off a surface at an angle.
The moon's light is really reflected from the sunlight that hits the moon.
Green light is reflected. Red and blue light are absorbed.

Bounces off
Albedo is the measurement of how strongly light is reflected off an object.
