Why is concave mirror used in street lights?
bcause when light source placed at focus of the mirror, after flashing the light form the source to the mirror after reflection a straight parallel beam of light emerges which makes the street bright
How does light reach areas that are not in direct light?
reflection
What is the main source of moon's light?
It is the reflection of sun light.
How do moon produce their own light?
the light from the moon is a reflection of the light from the sun
Where does Moon light come from?
It is a reflection of the sun's light on the surface of the moon.
What type of reflection happens when a straight ray of light hits smooth mirrors?
When a straight light ray hits a smooth mirror, the regular reflection happens.
What type of reflection happens when a straight ray of light hits rough concrete?
The scattered reflection occurs when a straight ray of light is reflected from hitting rough concrete.
What is reflection for light?
A shining or polished surface changes the direction of light.This change in direction is called reflection of light.
When light is incident on a polished surface reflection takes place?
yes.
How does reflection differ from refraction?
Refraction is the bending of light after passing through a medium. Reflection is the bouncing back of light after striking a polished smooth surface like a mirror,clear water,polished metal,etc.
What is the bouncing of light off an object?
Reflection
What is the type of reflection of light that takes place on a highly polished smooth surface?
Simply reflection (as opposed to say refraction or diffraction). Reflection results in an angle of reflection of the light ray with the normal equal to the angle of incidence of the light ray.
Reflection of light in all directions?
When light falls on a plane polished surface,it changes its direction.This is called reflection of light.
What is the process occurring when photons bounce off a polished surface called?
Reflection. The reflecting power of the surface is called its albedo.
Do light travel in wave or in a straight path?
Light travels in straight paths because of its reflection
Differentiate regular reflection from diffuse reflection?
Regular Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a smooth surface. Diffuse Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a rough surface. Reflection= The bouncing of waves, off a surface or and object
What happens when light bounces off an objects?
Reflection happens when light bounces of an object.
