What else can I help you with?
Do invisible things reflect light?
No, invisible things do not reflect light because they do not interact with photons in the visible spectrum. Invisibility is often achieved through techniques like bending light around an object or using materials that do not reflect or absorb light in the visible range.
How are you able to see things in space that do not give off light?
because light is reflected off stars
What can you find in space?
In space, you can find various celestial objects such as stars, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and nebulae. Space also contains dark matter, which is mysterious because it does not emit, absorb, or reflect light. Additionally, space exploration has discovered black holes, pulsars, quasars, and other intriguing phenomena.
What three things are needed to cast a shadow?
To cast a shadow, three things are needed: a source of light, an object to block the light, and a surface for the shadow to be projected onto.
Why can't dirty things reflect light?
Dirty things may not reflect light well because the dirt particles on the surface can absorb or scatter the light instead of allowing it to bounce off and create a reflection. The irregularities and inconsistencies on the dirty surface can also disrupt the smooth reflection of light.
How does light absorb things?
Light does not absorb things. Light can be absorbed by things.
Does plastic absorb light?
No, plastic does not absorb light. Instead, it reflects and transmits light, which is why plastic is often used for things like windows or packaging to allow light to pass through.
Why do things glow in the dark?
they absorb light from before and then when it is dark they glow the absorbed light
What gives things their color?
Objects get their color from the way they absorb and reflect light. Different materials absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light, which our eyes perceive as color.
Do all colors absorb heat?
No, not all colors absorb heat to the same extent. Dark colors tend to absorb more heat than light colors because they absorb more light energy. Light colors reflect more light and heat energy, which is why they are often used in hot climates to keep things cooler.
What is the medium needed for light waves?
Just space. It can be empty space, or filled with matter - though some types of matter will absorb light too quickly. However, the medium that light needs to be transmitted is gravity.
Why do things have color?
Things have color because of the way they interact with light. Different materials absorb and reflect light in different ways, which creates the colors we see.
Is cork board best used to reflect absorb or transmit light?
Cork board is best used to absorb light rather than reflect or transmit it. The textured surface of cork board helps to scatter and absorb light, reducing glare and creating a softer, warmer lighting effect in a space.
What does light travel through best empty space or matter?
Light travels best through empty space because there are no particles to absorb or scatter the light. In contrast, matter can diminish the speed and intensity of light as it interacts with particles and undergoes absorption and scattering.
Why do rooftop of buildings get so hot?
dark colors absorb the light of the sun, which causes them to become hotter then things that are light in color
Why is it black in outer space?
We see things as black when there is no light coming from that direction. Space is mostly empty, and neither generates light or reflects it, so it looks black. We only SEE things that reflect light, or that generate their own light.
What materials absorb light and how do they do so?
Materials that absorb light typically contain pigments or dyes that are able to absorb certain wavelengths of light. When light hits these materials, the pigments or dyes absorb the light energy, causing the material to appear darker or change color. This absorption of light energy is what allows these materials to absorb light.
