Why is it important to make sure that not much light reaches the sensor of a camera?

It is important that the sensor receives the correct amount of light. To restrict the amount of light would produce poor results.


What is the amount of light that reaches the film in a camera called?

Light is usually measured in candle power or candellas. The temperature of the light is measured in degrees, kelvin. You'll find greater detail at the local library or through research on the internet.


Why do artists require north light?

Direct sunlight is extremely bright and results in washed out colors and stark contrasting shadows. Sometimes this lends to the subject or mood of the art. A sunny beach scene with sun glistening onto the shoreline or a morning figure washed in light through a bedroom window are examples of when direct light is king. In contrast when you use indirect light commonly called north light or reflected light the atmosphere is much more controlled. The value shift is more subtle resulting in far greater control over contrast. Colors can be presented in all their subtleties. Light from a north facing window has helped produce some of the greatest paintings in history. If you look at wonderful still life paintings you will see why north light is preferred many times. Vermeer is best known for his north lit room in which many of his paintings were produced.


What is the difference between light and reflected light?

Source light is light coming directly from a light source/emitter (i.e. a light bulb, the sun, stars, etc.). Reflected light is light coming indirectly from the light source/emitter. That could be reflected, refracted light, etc.

Light reaches areas that are not in direct light by means of what?

Light can reach areas that are not in direct sunlight through reflection, refraction, or scattering. Reflection occurs when light bounces off surfaces, while refraction involves light bending as it passes through different mediums. Scattering occurs when light is dispersed in different directions by particles in the atmosphere.


How does light reach areas that are not in direct light?

Light can reach areas not in direct light through reflection, where light bounces off surfaces, or refraction, where light bends as it passes through different materials. Additionally, diffused light, which scatters in different directions after hitting a surface, can also illuminate areas that are not directly exposed to light sources.


Is the sun direct light?

Yes because it is a source of light. However, the moon is not direct light as it is not a source. It reflects the light of the sun and that is why we see the moon as 'shining.'


Why is daytime light and night dark?

Daytime is light because the sun emits light that reaches our atmosphere and illuminates the Earth's surface. Night is dark because the Earth rotates and moves away from the direct sunlight, causing the absence of light reaching the surface.


What is direct light and how does it impact the environment?

Direct light refers to sunlight that reaches the Earth without being obstructed by clouds or other barriers. This type of light can impact the environment in various ways, such as influencing plant growth, animal behavior, and temperature regulation. Excessive direct light can lead to issues like heat stress, increased energy consumption for cooling, and disruption of ecosystems. It is important to manage direct light exposure to maintain a healthy balance in the environment.


How much light does moss need to thrive?

Moss generally thrives in low light conditions, preferring indirect or filtered light rather than direct sunlight. It can also grow in shaded areas with minimal light.


What are the two regions of shadow?

The umbra is the central, darkest part of a shadow where no direct light reaches, while the penumbra is the outer region where some light is still visible around the edges of the shadow.


Is a firefly an example of direct light or indirect light?

A firefly is an example of direct light, as it emits its own light through a process called bioluminescence.

What is indirect and direct light?

Direct light is the light that comes directly from the light source to the place or thing that's being illuminated. Examples:The sun's light that illuminates unsheltered areas of Earth;A streetlight that illuminates everything within its beam;Indoor lighting that illuminates everything within its beam.Indirect light is light reflected from something that is not the source of the light. Examples:The light of the moon is light from the sun reflected to Earth or other regions of the universe. The moon does not produce its own light.The available light from a streetlight that is not within the range of its beam but can be used to see areas outside its beam.Indoor lighting that is directed toward the ceiling to create softer, diffused lighting for an area.


What material absorbs or reflects all of the light that reaches it?

A black hole absorbs all light that reaches it, as its gravity is so strong that not even light can escape. On the other hand, a perfect mirror reflects all light that reaches it, without absorbing any.


Explain the difference between direct light and indirect light?

Indirect light would be larger than direct light, because indirect light is from an angle, and it is usually dimmer.
