Describe two ways that light can be reflected.?
Light can be reflected from a smooth surface through specular reflection, where the light rays are reflected at the same angle as they strike the surface. Light can also be reflected from a rough or irregular surface through diffuse reflection, where the light is scattered in various directions upon hitting the surface.
How does light behave when it is reflected?
When light is reflected, it bounces off a surface and changes direction. The angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing light), following the law of reflection. The reflectivity of the surface determines how much light is reflected.
How much light is reflected and transmitted when light strikes at a perpendicular to a surface?
Only about 4% is reflected, the rest is transmitted. 3. (29.1) When light strikes perpendicular to the surface of a pane of glass, how much light is reflected and how much is transmitted? Normal to the surface refers to a line that is drawn perpendicular to the surface (90°).
Why are image reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth surface?
Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.
Is the moon light reflected off of earth?
No, the moon's light is actually sunlight that is reflected off its surface. The moon doesn't produce its own light; it merely reflects the light from the sun.
What is the name of the ray that represents the light reflected by the surface.?
The ray that represents the light reflected by a surface is called the reflected ray.
What are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow
How does light reflected?
Light can be reflected because it bounces off a surface at an angle.
What is reflected light from the water or light?
Water is a completely smooth surface and light is reflected from the sun.

When light is reflected from a rough surface the reflected light does what while producing no image?
Bounces off
In what direction is the reflected light polarized?
Reflected light is polarized in the direction parallel to the reflecting surface.
What will be the color reflected by a green surface when yellow light is incident on it?
No light will be reflected, since there is no incident green light to reflect. To a human observer, the surface will appear black.
How light is reflected the surface of a mineral?
Luster
Can light reflected on black surface?
yes
How is light is reflected from a minerals surface?
Luster
What term refers to the way light is reflected from the surface of a mineral crystal?
The term for the way light is reflected from the surface of a mineral crystal is called luster.
