If a rock has bands of light and dark layers it is?
It could be foliated metamorphic rock or sedimentary rock, depending on its mineral makeup and method of formation.
Why are mineral bands in metamorphic rocks light and dark colored?
Mineral bands are light and dark colored because they are different types of rock. In the rock cycle different types of rock can stack on top of each other, this can be subducted into the earth near the Mantle where there is enough pressure the rocks can start to melt and change. Because different types of rock metamorphose into different rocks you can have many layers in a type of rock. These can be light or dark colors depending on the rock.
If light bounces off A mineral it has?
If light bounces off a mineral it has luster.
When a mineral reflects light it can have a metallic a nonmetic or a brilliant?
When a mineral reflects light it can have a metallic a nonmetallic or a brilliant luster
If a rock has bands of light and dark layers it is what?
It could be a sedimentary rock or a foliated metamorphic rock exhibiting alternating bands of light and dark minerals.
How could you distinguish pumice and granite?
Granite is a dense, non-porous rock with visible mineral grains. Pumice is a light rock filled with holes left by gas bubbles and generally no visible grains.
What is a way a mineral appears?
Minerals appear in many different ways. Opaque minerals do not allow light to pass through them. Isotropic minerals allow light to pass through it the same way no matter how the mineral is held. Anisotropic minerals reflects light depending up how the grains lay.

A bands are dark bands?
Yes, in striated muscle you can think of the "A" bands as the dArk bands and the "I" bands as the lIght bands.

Why do minerals change composition as they undergo metamorphism?
The minerals in the rock have been realigned into parallel bands in response to pressures exerted on the rock from a particular direction. The banding forms perpendicularly to the direction of the force.
Do smooth muscle have alternating dark and and light bands on them?
Yes, smooth muscle has alternating dark and light bands known as the A and I bands, respectively.
What type of rock texture results when extreme pressure cause mineral in metamorphic rock to realign or when minerals separate out into dark and light bands?
I do believe that the answer is "foliated". However I am not positive, but I do know that... Banding is another word for foliation, which is the grouping of certain minerals with the rock forming parallel bands that are perpendicular to the pressure that causes its formation. Banding of different minerals give some metamorphic rocks a striped appearance, involving the segregation of light and dark minerals into layers. Good luck with your question and I hope that this information has helped.
If light bounces off A mineral it has?
If light bounces off a mineral it has luster.
Monochromatic light passes through 2 parallel slits forms an interference pattern on screen As the distance between the 2 slits is decreased the distance between light bands in the pattern?
The light will be diffracted and an interference pattern of alternate dark and light areas will occur on the wall.
Many stars together create cloudy bands of light. What is the prepositional phrase?
create cloudy bands of light
What mineral gives off ultraviolet light?
The mineral that gives of ultraviolet light is Quratz
