Depending on the range of wavelengths that comprise the incident light, some of it
may be absorbed and some may be reflected. If blue wavelengths are present in the
incident light, then the blue is mostly reflected, and any other wavelengths are mostly
absorbed. This is the main reason that the surface acquires the reputation of being 'blue'.
What else can I help you with?
When white light hits a blue surface what happens?
The blue surface absorbs most colors of white light except for blue, which is reflected. This reflected blue light is what we perceive with our eyes as the color blue.
What happens when light hits a rough surface?
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
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)
When light is shone on a blue surface what color is reflected?
Blue. That's why people call it a "blue surface" ... because any other color of light that hits it is absorbed, and never scattered or reflected to your eye.
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 a straight beam of light hits a mirror?
By omed, The mirror breaks and the light turns blue.
What happens when light hits the surface of an object an angle?
When light hits the surface of an object at an angle, it can be reflected (bounced off), refracted (bent), or absorbed by the object. The amount of light that is reflected or refracted depends on the surface properties of the object, such as smoothness and transparency.
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 occurs when light hits a irregular surface?
When light hits an irregular surface, it scatters in different directions due to the uneven geometry of the surface. This scattering is known as diffuse reflection, which causes the light to be reflected in a non-uniform manner, unlike in the case of a smooth surface where light reflects uniformly.
What happens when infrared hits a shiny surface?
When infrared light hits a shiny surface, such as a mirror or metal object, the surface reflects much of the light because of its high reflectivity. This reflection can result in a decrease in the temperature of the shiny surface since less energy is absorbed.
Why do veins turn blue when they are close to the surface of the skin?
Veins appear blue when they are close to the skin's surface because of the way light interacts with the skin. The skin absorbs most of the light that hits it, but blue light is able to penetrate deeper into the skin and is reflected back to our eyes, making the veins appear blue.
