Light waves bounce off the surfaces of most objects?
it depends on the surface. the ability for a light wave 2 "bounce off" lies in whether or not the substance will absorb that certain frequency of light...and the type of surface (i.e. smooth or rough)
What happens when parallel rays of light hit a rough or bumpy surface?
what occurs when parallel rays of light hit a rough or a bumpy surface
What happens when light travel through smooth and rough surfaces?
Parallel light rays which fall on a smooth surface(a mirror) are reflected as parallel rays. This is called REGULAR REFLECTION. Whereas, parallel rays which fall on an irregular surface(The ground) are reflected in different directions. This is called irregular reflection.
Why does light reflect better off of smooth surfaces than rough surfaces?
smooth surface
How do you maintain softballs?
dont bounce it off cement or other hard rough surfaces and keep them out of the rain or wet areas.
What is it called when light rays hit a rough surface and bounce back at different angles?
Scattering of light.
What type of surface reflects light waves best?
light colored and smooth. these characteristics will allow the waves to reflect and bounce off rather than absorb.
Light rays bounce in many different directions from a dull or rough?
Scattering. Yes.
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.
When a light hits a rough surface and bounces back at different surfaces?
A reflection
What are the advantages of reflection of light on rough surfaces?
it help people to see in dark
What occurs when parallel rays of light a rough or bumpy surface?
diffuse reflection
