When all light passes through an object?
The object will be invisible, unless of course it is refracted, in which case the refraction will scatter the light. And light will refract through any change in material medium.
What is an example of an object that light will pass through?
A glass of water, a window, a clear light bulb, tissue paper (really thin), a water bottle, anything with holes in it (obviously), crystal, diamond, various gems, etc. I hope they weren't too obvious answers!
Why substance are coloured?
The color of an object is determined by its inherent properties and the light source used to illuminate it.Some colors are absorbed, some are reflected and others can pass through (if transparent). Which is which and how much - is determined by its wavelength. The reflected light is what we call the color of the object.
What three things can happen to a light wave when it strikes an object?
Light striking an object can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed. Light passing near an object can be diffracted. These are all the possible interactions.
Clear transparent opaque?
Clear and transparent are the synonymous. A transparent material allows light to pass through. Opaque, on the other hand, do not allow light to pass through
What occurs when light strikes a transparent surface?
[object Object]
What happens when light strikes a transparent body like glass?
Whether the object struck by lightning is transparent or not should not make much difference.
When light waves strikes a red object what happens to the light wave of all colors except red?
Basically three things can happen to light as it strikes an object. It can be reflected, absorbed, or it can pass through. For simplicity, assume the object is not transparent; in that case, any light that is not reflected is absorbed.
What does a transparent object do with light that strikes it?
If its flat, it might just reflect it. If it is shaped liked a prism, it may separate the colors (like rainbows).
How light is affected by a transparent object?
It isn't, unless the transparent object has shape. In that case, the light will be refracted.
Do transparent objects absorb most of the light that strikes them?
yes it does
When light strikes a transparent material most of the light is reflected true or false?
true
A material that reflects or absorbs all of the light that strikes it is?
A material that reflects or absorbs any light that strikes it is opaque.Tranlucent or transparent materials allow some or all light to pass through.
Reflection occurs when light strikes and then?
When the light waves strikes an object and bounces off
What does to a transparent object do to light?
If it is perfectly transparent, nothing. It can refract and reflect the light. For example, a lens is made of glass which is transparent. The important properties are the refractive index of the material and the angle that light hits the object at.
When light strikes a black object what enery is it changed to?
When light strikes a black object what energy is it changed to?
What is produced when light strikes on opaque object?
Either the light reflect from the object or absorbed into the object.
