A surface will reflect light most clearly when that surface is completely smooth.
Example of clear reflection:
Look at the reflection on a lake when there is no wind or anything causing ripples or waves. The reflection is clear and objects reflected can be seen clearly.
Example of distorted (unclear) reflection:
Look at the same lake on a very windy day when there are many waves and other ripples on the waters surface. The reflections coming off the waters surface are hard or imposable to see due to the distortion of the reflection.
What else can I help you with?
Do asteroids reflect sunlight?
Yes, most asteroids reflect sunlight because they are made of rocky or metallic materials that can reflect light. The amount of sunlight they reflect can vary depending on their surface composition and properties.
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.
Is glass a good reflector?
Glass is not a good reflector of light compared to materials like mirrors or metals. While it can reflect some light at its surface, most of the light passes through it, making it a better transmitter than a reflector. The reflection that does occur is typically around 4% for each surface of glass, which is relatively low. Therefore, while glass can reflect light, it is not considered an effective reflector.
When solar radiation enters the atmosphere most of the solar radiation is absorbed by the earths surface. However about 6 percent of the solar radiation is blank by the earths surface?
When solar radiation enters the atmosphere, most of it is absorbed by the Earth's surface. However, about 6 percent of the solar radiation is reflected back into space by the Earth's surface. This reflection occurs mainly from surfaces like ice, snow, and water, which have high albedo, meaning they reflect a significant portion of incoming solar energy.
Which type and color of land surface would reflect the most solar radiation?
The Solar System object with the highest albedo is Europa with a reflectivity of 0.64. Earth by comparison is 0.367. Europe is smooth and covered in fresh (clean) ice. So smooth and white would reflect the most.
Does a marbel surface reflect light?
Unless it is jet black, yes. Most surfaces reflect some light.
Does a VA utility trailer need lights?
Not if you can clearly see the lights on the tow vehicle; problem is most cops do not know this and will give you a ticket.
Which surface is MOST likely to reflect light and form an image?
A smooth and polished surface, such as a mirror, is most likely to reflect light and form a clear image due to its ability to provide a flat and uniform surface for light to bounce off of uniformly.
Does white poster board reflect all lights?
Generally, white poster board reflects most visible lights. However, it may not reflect all lights equally. Some colors or wavelengths of light may be absorbed or scattered more than others, resulting in a slight variation in reflection.
Do asteroids reflect sunlight?
Yes, most asteroids reflect sunlight because they are made of rocky or metallic materials that can reflect light. The amount of sunlight they reflect can vary depending on their surface composition and properties.
Where are you must likely to be if you are viewing the northern lights?
in the Northern part of Canada where they are the most prevalent since they reflect from the North pole
What is the Comparative and superlative form of clearly?
more clearly, very clearly, the most clearly
Does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?
Highly polished, shiny surfaces reflect light the best as they are REFLECTive. White or bright surfaces also reflect light well. Dull, Matt surfaces are the worst reflecters of light
What is the surperlative of clearly?
The superlative of 'Clearly' is, "Most clear", or "Clearest".
Why does the mirror reflect light weel?
Mirrors have a smooth surface that is able to reflect light well because the surface is able to bounce light rays off it in a way that preserves the image. The smooth surface minimizes scattering of light, allowing most of the light to be reflected back in a clear and organized manner.
What are the comparative and superlative forms of clearly?
comparative: more clearly superlative: most clearly
Why don't most paper reflect light?
As most paper's surface is rough at microscopic levels therefore they do reflect the light but the light reflected y them is scattered over a large surface due to its rough texture.......As they do not reflect light in a particular direction like mirrors therefore they seems not to reflect the light.....
