Want this question answered?
Light reflects and sound just bounces off.
Light that is trapped by matter is absorbed. Light that is bounced off the surface of an object. Light that passes through matter is transmitted.
Mainly it's reflected, bounced off in another direction.
I believe you want to ask: what are the so-called "bounced-off" rays of light called? If so, the simplest answer would be: "reflections".
An Object which reflects light is called an illuminous object. e.g) The Moon: Reflects off sunlight
It is called Reflection, darling
Light reflects and sound just bounces off.
There are many objects that no light can pass through, although of course, it depends on what type of light you're talking about. The name of the type of object that visible light cannot pass through is called opaque.
Light that is trapped by matter is absorbed. Light that is bounced off the surface of an object. Light that passes through matter is transmitted.
Because the human eye can only see reflected light that has been bounced off of another object and has assumed a specific frequency (colour)
light from the sun bounces back from objects but eyes only allow light which has bounced back from an object.
Mainly it's reflected, bounced off in another direction.
Absorb.Absorb.Reflecting is when something (e.g. light) bounces off an object; abosrbing is when it is taken into it.
It continues to be the same light source it just wasn't absorbed or was redirected by the object usually a mirror like effect, light disintegrates at some rate slower then the source providing the output, or at the speed of light.=============================Thanks for that.Here's my proposed answer to the question: Reflected light .

If light travels through an object, it is still called light. If you want to specify, you might say "light travelling through an object".
Where light has bounced off a surface first, rather than coming direct from the source. For example, light coming from an object on a table such as an apple. There is no light in the apple, but light comes off it from a bulb or the sun.
