What happens to light when it hits transparent or opaque liquid crystal in a digital watch?
light passes through transparent, and reflects off opaque.
What happens when light passes through one transparent material into clear water?
the light is transmitted through the transparent material into the water which is transmitted untill it hits soething opaque amd the light is absorbed into that.
What occurs when light hits a irregular surface?
The light will be absorbed and reflected unevenly.
What happens when light hits a transparent material?
Even though you can see through a material..i.e. it is transparent...it may have color and a physicist will want to know this information. What type of light is hitting this material is important to include in your question as well as the type of transparent material. What type of light? (and the strength ...source would be great) What type of material? What color is the material? Answer: It allows light to pass through a material
What happens when a ray of light hits metal?
It reflects off it. If the surface is smooth you get an orderly reflection, if rough then a random scatter of light.

What happens when light hits a rough surface?
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
What happens when light passes through one transparent material into clear water?
the light is transmitted through the transparent material into the water which is transmitted untill it hits soething opaque amd the light is absorbed into that.
What happens when hits a black surface?
im assuming that u meant "what happens when LIGHT hits a black surface?" the reason for this is that the black surface ABSORBS the light, and so none of the light waves can be reflected back (which is what makes it look black)
What occurs when light hits a irregular surface?
The light will be absorbed and reflected unevenly.
What happens when sunlight hits a surface?
The sunlight will be absorbed by the surface.If the surface is a mirror,lesser light will be absorbed.More will be reflected. If the surface is black,more light will be absorbed.
What happens when sunlight hits a dark surface?
The sunlight will be absorbed by the surface.If the surface is a mirror,lesser light will be absorbed.More will be reflected. If the surface is black,more light will be absorbed.
What happens to a beam of light once it hits water?
The incident ray (the incoming light) hits the water and then the speed is slowed. It is called 'Refraction'. Which is the bending of light through a translucent or transparent object.

What is it called when light hits a surface that it cannot pass through?
There is no scientific term for what happens when light hits an opaque object I'm afraid to say.
What happens when light rays hits a very smooth surface?
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.
What does to a transparent object do to light?
If it is perfectly transparent, nothing. It can refract and reflect the light. For example, a lens is made of glass which is transparent. The important properties are the refractive index of the material and the angle that light hits the object at.
