The eye
Well, light is detected by one of the photoreceptors in your eyes, specifically "rods". Photoreceptors are the receptors used for sight. So, the sense of sight can be used to determine an object's ability to reflect light.
Reflect. Light-colored objects reflect heat and light, while dark-colored objects absorb heat and light.
Objects that reflect light are said to be "reflective", objects that scatter light are said to be "diffusive", and objects that transmit light are said to be "transparent" or "translucent".
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! *sigh* You use your sense of sight to determine an object's ability to reflect light because- pay close attention now-1. You cannot smell light2. You cannot feel light (though you can feel heat)3. You cannot hear light4. And, finally, you cannot taste light.Hope this helps. ☺
No, all objects reflect light to some degree, both shiny and non-shiny. Shiny objects tend to reflect more light due to their smooth and polished surfaces, while non-shiny objects may reflect less light and appear duller because of their rough or textured surfaces.
Yes. There is hardly anything that reflects NO light; dark objects simply reflect less light than light objects.
The color of objects is determined by the way they reflect and absorb light. Different materials absorb and reflect light in different ways, which results in the various hues we see. The specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed and reflected by an object determine its color.
The color we perceive depends on the object's ability to absorb and reflect light. Objects that appear blue absorb most colors of light and reflect blue light. Objects that appear red absorb most colors of light except red, which is reflected. This selective absorption of light by objects causes us to perceive them as blue or red.
An object's ability to reflect sunlight is called albedo. Albedo is a measure of how much of the sunlight that hits an object is reflected back into space. Objects with high albedo reflect more sunlight, while objects with low albedo absorb more sunlight.
No, not all objects reflect light. Some objects absorb light, while others transmit it through or scatter it around. Objects appear to reflect light depending on their material composition and surface properties.
You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.
It is called reflection. When objects reflect light, the light bounces off the surface of the object and into our eyes, allowing us to see the object.
