∙ 10y agoWhen light bounces back, it's called reflection. Light is not the only thing that can bounce back. Reflection also includes an image, sound, and radiant heat.

- scattering, if the rays get scrambled

When light bounces of an object what is call?
it is the bouncing back of lights rays from surface. It is called reflection.
What does a mirror do to light in order to form a reflection?
it bounces back the light because the it is covered with silver at the back which is opaque to light.Thus light reflects back.
When light bounces back at the same in which it hit an object?
When light hits an object/surface, it's either reflected, absorbed, or refracted. For light to bounce back, the reflection has to be "specular", like a mirror. So the light bounces back with the same(reflected) image. For light to be reflected back at the source. The light has to hit perpendicular to the surface, which is 90°.
When light strikes an objects and it bounces b ack is it being refracted?
If the light truly "bounces back", then it is being reflected. Refraction is the bending of electromagnetic waves like light or radio.
When light bounces is it absorbed?
No. When light bounces it is not absorbed.

What happens to the light when it strike a medium?
Light ray bounces back
Where is the energy from light stored after light reactions?
It Bounces of Back To The Sun
What does light do when it is reflected?
light bounces back in any angle but it never pass through

How can you see Jupiter?
the light from the sun reflects on the planets then bounces back
When light bounces back in the same derection from which it started is called?
That is retroreflection.

No. When light bounces it is not absorbed.
Why do you see your self in the mirror?
Mirrors have a special surface, usually at the back, that reflects light. This means that light that strikes the mirror's special surface bounces back. Light coming from you goes to the mirror's surface, bounces back and some of that light enters your eyes so that you are able to see your own image.
When a light hits a rough surface and bounces back at different surfaces?
A reflection
