What else can I help you with?
What happens to the light when it strikes a shiny surface?
When light strikes a shiny surface, it reflects off the surface. This reflection allows us to see the surface as it bounces back towards our eyes, creating a mirror-like effect.
What happens when a light strikes a smooth reflective surface?
When light strikes a smooth reflective surface, it follows the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that the light bounces off the surface in a predictable way, producing a clear reflection.
What does light do when it strikes a surface that is not smooth?
When light strikes a rough surface it reflects in essentially random directions.
What occurs when light strikes a transparent surface?
When light strikes a transparent surface, it can be transmitted through the material, absorbed by the material, or reflected off the surface. The amount of light that is transmitted, absorbed, or reflected depends on the properties of the material and the angle at which the light strikes the surface.
The ray of light that strikes a surface?
It does.
What is the angle which light strikes a surface?
The angle at which light strikes a surface is known as the angle of incidence. It is the angle between the incident ray (incoming light) and the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface).
Light that strikes a shiny surface such as a mirror is?
solar light
What is the name of the angle at which light strikes a surface?
The angle at which light strikes a surface is called the angle of incidence. It is measured relative to a line perpendicular (normal) to the surface at the point of incidence.
What is the name of the line drawn perpendiculars to the surface where the light rays strikes?
A normal line is the name of the line drawn perpendicular to the surface where a light ray strikes.
What is the ray of light which strikes the surface?
incident ray
What is ejected when light strikes a metal surface?
Electrons are ejected from a metal surface when light strikes it. This phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect. The ejected electrons are called photoelectrons.
What happens when a white light strikes a red apple?
The red apple absorbs most of the colors in the white light spectrum, except for red. The red color is reflected off the surface of the apple, which is what we perceive with our eyes. This is why the apple appears red when white light strikes it.
