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.

Is a light source needed to see objects on a microscope?
yes you do need light to so things in microscope------------------------In a compound microscope the light is transmitted through the object therefore the object must be very thin to allow the light through. They are called thin sections and mounted to a glass slide.A stereo microscope uses incident light, bounced off of the object's surface.In either case, no light means no image.You can use electric light sources of many kinds; LEDs, halogen, incandescent, mercury vapor are just a few. You can use a mirror to reflect any kind of light including bright light from a window, a candle, a desk lamp, whatever.Phloem
Why is it not possible to use sonar to determine the speed of an object travelling faster than the speed of sound?
Sonar is sound waves bounced off a object so if you are going the speed of sound the waves cannot bounce off the object and determine the speed of the object
What is Refracting and Reflecting?
Reflection: light bounces off of a surface, like a mirror.Refraction: light goes through a substance and bends. For example, white light through a prism comes out in a rainbow because the light is refracted or bent and each color has a different index of refraction.
How does visible light interact with an object?
The Answer is color. Because color has to do with light and physical properties.
When light falls on an object which side do shadows fall?
The shadow will fall on the opposite side that the light hit the object. Assuming that the object is a solid object that you cannot see through, there would be no light on the other side, hence causing the shadow.
What light bounced off an object?
It is called Reflection, darling
What happens when light or sound is bounced off an object?
Light reflects and sound just bounces off.
What is light that is trapped by matter?
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.
If our eyes adjust to light why don't they adjust when we look at the sun?
light from the sun bounces back from objects but eyes only allow light which has bounced back from an object.
What is the opposite of reflection?
Absorb.Absorb.Reflecting is when something (e.g. light) bounces off an object; abosrbing is when it is taken into it.
What is an example of indirect light?
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.
Is there bounced light in the Moon?
yes
When light is bounced off an object it cannot pass through it is?
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.
What does the term bounced mean?
Bounced, is the past tense of the word 'bounce', and means to rebound, or to reflect back. For example, the ball 'bounced' back after being thrown, or the light 'bounced' back, off the mirror.
Why are refracted light rays not visible in air only when they hit matter?
Because the human eye can only see reflected light that has been bounced off of another object and has assumed a specific frequency (colour)
What does a prism do in a periscope?
it bounces the light from the mirrors so that the light is bounced into the persons eye
This measures the amount of light bounced off things?
Reflection..
