Describe what happens when sunlight strikes chlorophyll?
When sunlight strikes chlorophyll, the pigment absorbs the light energy and drives a series of chemical reactions known as photosynthesis. This process converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, which is the primary way plants produce food and oxygen.
Where is the focus located?
The focus is the point at which light rays converge after passing through a lens or reflecting off a mirror. For a concave mirror or converging lens, the focus is in front of the mirror/lens. For a convex mirror or diverging lens, the focus is behind the mirror/lens.
Can chromatic aberration occur in a mirror?
Chromatic aberration does not occur in a mirror because chromatic aberration is caused by the different colors of a light being bent different amounts. Mirrors do not care about the different colors as they only relfect the light instead of refracting it.
What does radiating or reflecting light mean?
Light is radiated from the Sun, the Moon and the Earth. Radiation is a "shining out" from whatever is making the light. When we see the Moon we are seeing it because the Sun has radiated light out into space and some of it has lit up the Moon, which then reflects the moonlight to Earth. Light is reflected best by smooth and shiny materials such as plain glass or mirror glass.
What happens to sunlight when it strikes a dark black material?
Most of it is converted into heat energy, that is ... it ceases to exist.
What happens when a light ray strikes a flat mirror?
It will bounce at the same angle that it came. \ / \__/
What Ray of light that strikes a mirror is called?
The ray of light that strikes a mirror is called an incident ray.
What happens to the light wave after it stikes the mirror?
When a light wave strikes a mirror, it undergoes reflection, which means it bounces off the mirror's surface. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. The mirror changes the direction of the light wave but does not change its speed or frequency.
What happens when light strikes a convex mirrior?
When light strikes a convex mirror, it reflects off the surface and diverges outwards. This causes the light rays to spread apart, creating a virtual image that appears smaller and upright when compared to the object. The focal point for a convex mirror is behind the mirror itself.
What happens when normal incidence strikes mirror?
When light with normal incidence strikes a mirror, it reflects back at the same angle in the opposite direction. This is known as specular reflection, where the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
What happens it light when it strikes in plane mirror?
When light strikes a plane mirror, it is reflected in accordance with the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This reflection results in the formation of a virtual image that appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
What happens a ray of light falls on a plane mirror?
When a ray of light falls on a plane mirror, it undergoes reflection. The angle at which the light ray strikes the mirror is equal to the angle at which it reflects off the mirror. This allows us to see a reflected image of the object from which the light ray originates.
Light that strikes a shiny surface such as a mirror is?
solar light
When light strikes the large concave mirror of a reflecting telescope where is the light focused?
In front of the mirror
When light strikes the large concave mirror of a reflecting telescope where is the light focus?
In front of the mirror
What is the ray of light that shines on a mirror?
An incident ray is the ray of light that shines on a mirror. This is the ray that strikes the mirror's surface.
What happens to the path of light as it strikes a mirror and then a hand lens?
When light strikes a mirror, it undergoes reflection, bouncing off at the same angle it struck the mirror. When this reflected light then passes through a hand lens, it is refracted (bent) due to the curvature of the lens, converging or diverging based on the shape and focal length of the lens.
