How do we see non -luminous objects?
We can see non-luminous objects because the light reflect off the object and into our eyes that's why at night you can only see a faint out line of the objects around you
Why are mirrors and metallic surfaces are shiny but books and doors are not?
the door and books decreased absorbing of light and the mirritating and metallic surfaces have increased reflect of light
Why do molecules absorb light?
Molecules absorb light because of what light does to their electrons. It can cause a molecule's electrons to become excited and then changes from a full shell to an anti-bonding shell depending on how much light is absorbed.
Which are the colors mixed to make white?
White objects appear white because most light rays hitting them are bouncing off. (Black is the opposite, it absorbs the light.) Because all the rays bounce off and into your eye, it is actually a mix of all colours.
Why are objects coloured?
It is because they reflect certain wavelengths (colors) of light more readily than others. White light contains all wavelengths of light. You can see this by passing the light through a prism or by observing a rainbow. Now, if you have an object such as an orange and shine white light on it. The red and yellow will be reflected and the other colors will be absorbed. Thus, we see an orange object. Now, if you shined pure blue light on the orange it would look black, because there would be no red or yellow to reflect.
Are able to see non-luminous objects because light has undergone?
diffuse reflection
Why do we see things?
Because light reflects off objects
We see objects because?
We see objects, because:* Light from the objects reaches us. * Our eyes (and brains) are especially equipped to detect such light.
Is a mirror non-luminous and why?
Yes, a mirror is nonluminous. It does not emit light by itself, it only reflects light emitted by other things.
Why can we see objects?
Because of light.
What do light microscope use to magnify small objects?
because of the light and gt
What is luminouse and non-luminouse?
i think luminous means when something gives off light and non-luminous means when something does not give off light.
Why do light colored objects feel cooler than dark colored objects?
Because dark colours absorbs light/heat, while light colours reflect light/heat.
Why cant you see your reflection in all objects that replect light?
You cannot see your reflection in all objects that reflect light because of diffuse reflection.
what kind of objects can be seen from earth because of its own light?
the sun not moon because moon has not light of itself
Why do shiny objects reflect light spectrum?
because they have no darkness
Is this a correct definition If it cannot reflect light is it nonluminous. For instance fabric cannot reflect light but it does not emit its own light?
No, that is an incorrect definition. Luminous means creating its own light. Non-luminous just means not creating its own light. For instance the Moon is non-luminous. It *does* reflect light. It just does not create its own. Fabric also reflects light. It does not reflect it the same way a mirror does (mostly the light it reflects is scattered) but the fact that you can see the fabric even though it is not emitting light itself means it is reflecting light emitted from other objects. However, it is still non-luminous because it does not create its own light.
