The word "albedo" is used to describe the proportion of incoming light that is reflected. So an object with an albedo of .7 reflects 70% of the light that impacts it, while an object with an albedo of .02 reflects only 2% of the light, absorbing the other 98%.
The physical property used to describe how the surface of a mineral reflects light is called luster. Luster describes how light interacts with the surface of a mineral, with terms like metallic, vitreous (glassy), pearly, or dull being commonly used to characterize different types of luster.
A rarer medium refers to a cooking term used to describe meat that is cooked less than medium-rare, meaning it is cooked for a shorter time period and is usually pink and juicy in the center. This term is often used in culinary contexts to describe the doneness of meat.
the brightness of an object is the amount of light it reflects, the more it reflects the brighter it will be. Or the object could be giving out light, a vehicle head light for example
Tafla is a Polish word that translates to "mirror" in English. It is used to describe a surface that reflects light, images, or objects.
A straight arrow is typically used to represent a light ray in a ray diagram. The arrow indicates the direction of the light ray as it travels through a medium or reflects off a surface.
Yes, "bright" is an adjective. It is used to describe something that emits or reflects light, is vivid, or is intelligent and quick-witted.
Oak is not really a color but can be used to describe the color light brown as it relates to the color of an oak piece of wood.
Optics is the study of light and its interaction with materials. The speed of light in a vacuum is about 186,282 miles per second. Total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a more dense to a less dense medium and reflects back into the denser medium. The color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light that it absorbs and reflects.
The term for how a mineral reflects light from its surface is luster. Luster describes the way light interacts with the surface of a mineral, with common types including metallic, vitreous (glassy), pearly, and silky.
