scattering
In the context of light, spreading is often referred to as light scattering. Light scattering is the process by which light is dispersed or scattered in different directions as it interacts with particles or surfaces in a medium. This can result in effects such as diffusion, reflection, or refraction of the light.
Light attenuation in the water column is the process by which light decreases in intensity as it travels through water due to absorption, scattering, and reflection by particles and dissolved substances. Absorption occurs when light is absorbed by water molecules, particles, and dissolved organic matter. Scattering happens when light is redirected in different directions by particles and molecules in the water. Reflection occurs when some light is bounced back from the water surface. Together, these processes result in reduced light penetration with increasing depth in the water column.
Light, on most cases.
A mirror reflection occurs when light bounces off a smooth, reflective surface at the same angle it hits it. This process is called specular reflection. The image you see in a mirror is a result of this reflection of light.
Through four processes. Emission, transmission, absorption, and reflection.
The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by the particles in a colloid or fine suspension. This effect causes the beam of light to become visible as it passes through the colloidal mixture or suspension due to the reflection and dispersion of light by the particles.
No, light is not reflected evenly on a rough surface. A rough surface scatters light in different directions due to irregularities in the surface, which can result in diffuse reflection rather than specular reflection.
Sunlight cannot turn black into white. However, a black surface may appear white in bright sunlight due to reflection of all the wavelengths of light from a shiny surface. The color black is actually the result of the absence of reflection of any wavelengths of light while the color white is the result of reflection of all the wavelengths of light.
Reflection
No, the light from the sun is a result of nuclear fusion reactions happening in its core, generating energy in the form of light and heat. This light travels through space and reaches Earth, where it warms the planet and enables photosynthesis in plants.
It is called reflection when light changes direction as a result of bouncing off a surface like a mirror.
no reflection basically deals with light rays. so there is no reflection withou light.
