Reflection is when a wave of light bounces away from the material, depending on the material it may maintain its strength. However absorbtion is when the beam of light hits a material and does not bounce back.
To explain why light does not bounce back (becomes absorbed) you will need to know about the colour spectrum. A wave of white light contains, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. Certain coloured materials will absorb and reflect certain colours of the colour spectum. So say we aim our wave of light at a black filter. Black will absorb every colour in the colour spectum, thus not allowing for any reflection.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between reflection and reflectance?
as such there is no soecific difference..
What is the difference between rules of translation and rules of reflection in math?
the difference is that in translation you slide the figure and in reflection you reflect the figure across the reflection line :)
What is the difference of absorption and reflection of sound?
Absorption of sound refers to when sound waves are absorbed by a material and converted to heat energy, reducing sound intensity. Reflection of sound occurs when sound waves hit a surface and bounce back, maintaining the sound intensity in the environment.
What is the difference between a mathematical translation and a mathematical reflection?
nonsence
What are the difference between actual position and apparent position of the stick?
duhhh
What is the difference between angle of incidence and angel of reflection?
None. They are the same angle.
What is the difference between reflection and translation?
A reflection is when you "flip" an image over a line on your graph. A translation is when you move your image vertically and/or horizontally.
What is the difference between a reflection and a translation in geometry?
A reflection is a mirror image of a shape whereas a translation moves an image to a different place
As em waves travel in space only one can happen... Reflection Attenuation absorption refraction.?
absorption
What happens during reflection absorption scattering and transmission?
Nothing
What do chromatophores produce?
they can produce colors by the reflection after absorption of light.
What is the difference between absorption costing and active base costing?
there is have some differeance . 1.
