When visible light strikes glass, it can be transmitted, reflected, or absorbed. Most of the light is transmitted through the glass, while a portion may be reflected off the surface. Any light absorbed by the glass typically converts to thermal energy, causing a slight increase in the glass's temperature. The specific fate of the energy depends on the properties of the glass and the angle of incidence of the light.

What is the fate of the energy in visible light incident in glass?
Some of it reflects (bounces) back to the source. Some of it is absorbed into the glass, and never heard from again. The rest of it passes through the glass and continues on its way.
When ultaviolet light is incident upon glass electrons within atoms in the glass?
When ultraviolet light is incident upon glass, the electrons within atoms in the glass absorb the energy from the light. This absorbed energy can cause the electrons to move to a higher energy state, leading to the emission of light in the form of fluorescence or phosphorescence.
What is the Fate of the in infrared light incident on glass?
Typically, the IR energy is absorbed by the glass as heat.
When placed in direct sunlight which object will absorb the most visible light energy?
A black object will absorb the most visible light energy because black objects absorb more wavelengths of light across the visible spectrum compared to other colors. This absorption leads to heat energy being produced.
What has more energy a visible light or infrared light?
Visible light. It has a higher frequency so more energy.
What is a characteristic of glass?
Some glass is transparent to visible light.
Is clear glass a filter?
Not to visible light.
Is glass visible?
Did you ever see glass? - Yes, it can be seen, therefore it is visible.
What is the fate of the energy in the ultraviolet light incident on glass?
Ultraviolet is too high frequency to enter glass and infrared is too low.
Will there any difference between energy of trasmitted light from glass and incident light?
Yes, there is some reflected light lost at each interface, which will lower the intensity of the beam. The polarization may be affected too. Depending on the glass there might be a color shift.
What is a visible form of energy?
visible light waves
What is light is light energy?
Light energy is a form of energy that is associated with visible light.Examples: The sun, , a lamp, or a lightbulb,, they are all forms of visible light.
