What happens when sound hits a surface?
It bounces back.
What Happens To Radiation When It Hits Eath's Surface?
the thingy hits the earht and everybody dies !!! The radiation will either be absorbed or reflected.
What occurs when light hits a irregular surface?
The light will be absorbed and reflected unevenly.
Why are sloar panels panted Matt black?
We can break the two words "matt black" downMatt- Matt is dissimilar to a shiny surface. This means that whereas a shiny surface is smooth and flat a matt surface is full of cavities (tiny holes or dips, like a cavity of a tooth). When a radiation ray hits the solar panel it is absorbed but partly reflected. If a solar panel is matt a ray which hit a cavity can be absorbed, but any part that is reflected hits another point in the cavity and can then be absorbed, this may happen several times until the radiation that hasn't been absorbed is reflected out of the cavity. Overall the matt surface allows parts of the ray that have not been reflected to hit another point and be partly absorbed again.Black- Solar panels are painted matt black because radiation (infrared) is absorbed better by a dark surface i.e. black than a light coloured surface.Therefore a solar panel being "matt black" enables maximum absorption and in effect higher amounts of energy can be taken from the suns heat and turned into electricity than that which could be with a light and shiny surface. This results in minimising the need for fossil fuels.
What happens when rays of light hits a bumpy surface?
They may be absorbed and converted to heat or reflected in scattered fashion.
What happens to sunlight hits earth surface?
It gets absorbed by the surface, reflected, and even radiated back as infrared rays where it is absorbed by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
How does light interact with shiny metal?
It reflects the light, that is how the surface seems shiny.When light hits a shiny surface it is reflected and is sometimes bent.
Why does light change direction when it hits things?
Light changes direction when it hits a shiny surface
What happens to sunlight that hits earth's surface?
There are two general possibilities - depending upon several types of conditions -, it will be either reflected or absorbed.
What happens when light hits a rough surface?
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
What happens to the sunlight that hits the surface of the Earth?
Sunlight that hits the Earth's surface is absorbed by the Earth. It is then reflected back.
What happens when sound hits a surface?
It bounces back.
What happens when you use shiny objects to reflect light onto the screen?
Some of the light is scattered on its journey to the screen. When the light hits the screen, some of it is reflected from the surface. The rest is refracted through the material of the screen. What happens then depends on screen and what is on its other side.
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 Happens To Radiation When It Hits Eath's Surface?
the thingy hits the earht and everybody dies !!! The radiation will either be absorbed or reflected.
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 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.
