What happens if you shine a light into a mirror?
When you shine a light into a mirror, the light reflects off the mirror's surface and bounces back in the opposite direction. This is called specular reflection. The angle at which the light hits the mirror will be equal to the angle at which it bounces off.
How can visible light interact with matter?
The matter absorbs or reflects the light.
What Reflects the light in the direction it hits the surface?
mirror
What happens when a sound reflects?
When a sound reflects, it bounces off a surface and changes direction. The sound wave behaves similarly to light waves reflecting off a mirror. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
What happens when a ray of light hits something?
it reflects
What are three ways light behaves?
Light can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface, like a mirror. Refraction is when light changes direction as it passes from one medium to another, like when light passes through a prism. Absorption happens when light is taken in by a material rather than passing through it.
3 things that can happen to light when it hits matter it can be?
Reflected: Light can bounce off the surface of matter, such as a mirror, maintaining its original direction. Transmitted: Light can pass through matter, like glass or water, allowing it to travel through and potentially being refracted. Absorbed: Light energy can be converted into other forms of energy when it is absorbed by matter, such as heat or chemical energy.
What is happens when light is refracted by matter?
the light bends.
What happens if you shine a flashlight on a mirror in a dark room?
The light from the flashlight reflects off the mirror and bounces back. This creates a bright spot of light on the opposite wall or surface. The mirror reflects the light without absorbing it, making the area feel brighter despite the flashlight only shining in one direction.
What happens when you shine a light ray onto a mirror?
it reflects
What happens to light when it hits a different medium?
The light reflects or refracts on hitting the medium.
What happens when light moves form one kind of matter to another?
When light moves from one kind of matter to another, it can be reflected, transmitted, or absorbed depending on the properties of the materials involved. The change in medium can also cause the light to change direction and/or speed, which is known as refraction. Additionally, the color and wavelength of the light may be affected by the interaction with the new material.
