Visible light causes reflection of light in all directions
reflection
White is technically the reflection of all colours on the spectrum while black is all colours' absorbtion.
Insects use moonlight to navigate. As the moon is very far away it seems to be in a constant place in the sky all night. To stay on a straight course insects keep the moon at a fixed angle to their direction of flight. However an artificial light is so close that when an insect mistakes it for the moon keeping it at a fixed angle to the direction of flight causes the insect's flight to become a spiral toward that light source instead of a straight line. When they spiral into the light bulb's surface all that happens is they keep bouncing off it and are unable to figure out how to fly away. However before light bulbs when the major light sources were open flames (e.g. candles, campfires) an insect spiraling into into an artificial light flew into the flame itself and burned up suddenly in a brief flash of light.
you do not get any color, normal light is contain of all colors (color is light whit various wave length) Actually, white isconsidered a color. That is the white light we pass through a prism or diffraction film in physics class to get the rainbow pattern. *NOTE* transmissive On the other hand, mixing paints together results in brownish icky color. *NOTE* reflection and absorption
EcoSmart, ArmorLite, Philips, GE, and Sylvania all make a line of energy saving light bulbs. They all manufacture LEDs, CFLs, and halogen bulbs. All of these bulbs are comparable in performance and all of these products are energy savers.
LIGHT
Visible light causes reflection of light in all directions
with rough surface, the light hitting it will reflect incoherently, meaning it will be scattered in every direction and with smooth surfaces like ice or mirror the light will reflect coherently, all going in the same direction
Specular reflection occurs when light strikes a surface and reflects off in a single direction, such as when looking in a mirror or on a smooth surface like glass. This type of reflection creates a clear and distinct image.
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called regular reflection when the light beams reflect off all points of the surface at the same angle. When the light beams hit the surface and reflect off in different angles it is called diffuse reflection.
You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.
reflection
The terminology is the same for all waves, including light - so reflection or refraction depending on what you mean by change of direction. Firstly thanks for answering, I meant if you had water waves travelling from deeper to shallower water. The wavefront change direction when entering the shallower. so http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_do_you_call_the_change_in_direction_of_a_wave_at_a_boundary" The effect is the same as bending of light as it goes from air into glass, for instance, it is refraction.

The study of the chemical processes in living organisms
This is known as diffuse reflection, where light is scattered in different directions upon hitting a rough surface. Unlike specular reflection, which occurs when light reflects off a smooth surface at a particular angle, diffuse reflection results in a lack of a clear reflection of light. This phenomenon is common in surfaces like paper, cloth, or rough walls.
