What else can I help you with?
How are light and sound alike?
Sound and light are VERY Different. They are both waves... But light can travel through a vacuum and sound requires a medium (matter... Ex. air or water) to travel through. Also they are 2 different kinds of waves (Light~ Transverse, and Sound~ Longitudinal) Though there are some similarities. Both are waves. Therefore they have wavelengths, frequencies, amplitudes, and speeds. They both can be measured also.
Does different coloured surfaces affect the rate at which ice cubes melt?
This is a really good question and the answer is quite straight-forward:First it's important to note that in absolute dark different colours would have no effect on the rate of melting, the rate is dependent on the wavelengths and intensity of the light the surface is exposed to.If we assume we have two surfaces, one red and one black, and we expose both surfaces to red light of the same intensity. On which surface do you think the ice would melt faster?The red surface will reflect the red light, however the black surface will absorb the red lightcausing the black surface to increase in temperature. So the ice will melt faster on the black surface.
Why do shadows have blurry edges?
Because when water goes into the air it enters the clouds and the water starts to build up which causes the clouds to turn gray. hope this helps :)
Why light can pass through glass but not from wood where as both are solid?
When light encounters a material, portions of it will be absorbed, reflected, and transmitted. Light that is not absorbed or reflected is transmitted, meaning we can see through the material. How much light is absorbed by a material has mostly to do with features on the molecular, atomic, or sub-atomic scale (e.g. whether electron orbitals can accept energy within a certain range). How much light is reflected (or scattered) has to do with the structural arrangement of the material (e.g. roughness). Transparent materials also absorb and reflect some light which is why you can see your reflection in a window if it is dark behind it.Sources:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucencyWhy_does_light_reflect_in_a_mirror
What is light waves and water waves examples of?
They are both used to demonstrate the split screen experiment showing the partial wave duality of matter. They are both examples of vertical or off axis waves; light in electric field, and magnetism. And waves in a vertical motion. There are always sound waves that travel in water or air, but they are called compression waves because it is due to a differential of density moving through the material medium.
Does a book absorb or reflect light?
A book typically reflects light due to its glossy or matte surface, depending on the type of paper and finish used. The reflective properties of the surface determine how much light is bounced off the book.
How can sound and light both be reflected?
Most objects we know of will reflect both. If you can see an object, its reflecting light. Chances are this same object will bounce sound waves too, no matter how insignificant.A thick, wide mirror will reflect light and probably a good amount of sound.
Can an object be both a good absorber and good reflector at the same time?
No, an object cannot be a good absorber and a good reflector at the same time. When an object absorbs light well, it does not reflect much of it, and vice versa. The ability of an object to absorb or reflect light depends on its properties and the material it is made of.
Why doesn't mercury reflect to suns light?
Both mercury the metal and Mercury the planet reflect light quite well.
Does water refract or reflect light?
Water can both refract and reflect light. When light travels from one medium to another in water, it bends due to the change in speed, which is known as refraction. Additionally, light can also reflect off the surface of water, creating a reflection.
When light hits matter does it stop?
no,actually light posess both wave nature and particle nature,when it hits on matters it may reflect,absorbed,rtc.depents on matter,lets teke example of metal sheet,when light hits it the energy of photon contents will transfered to it,so the electrons in the surface will emitted with a kinetic energy depents on energy tranfered,its example is x-ray,when laser beams hits on metal surface x-rays are produced the colour are produced by the absorptiond reflection property,ie,if a particle reflect all light it will be white in color,if it absorbs colour it will looks like black,so light when hits matter its getting absorbed or reflected,it cannot be stopped!
What color does a green and orange object reflect?
An object appears a certain color to you because it reflects that color of light and absorbs other colors of light. For example, a white object appears white because it reflects all colors of visible light (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). A black object appears black because it absorbs all of these colors--and as a result, none of those colors are reflected back to your eyes. Under white light, the object appears yellow-green because it reflects both yellow and green light and absorbs all other colors. (Remember, white light has all colors of visible light in it). If only green light is present, there's only green light for it to reflect--so it will appear green. If you shined yellow light on it only, it would be yellow. If you shined yellow and green light, it would appear yellow-green again. It you shined red and blue light on it, it would appear black, because it absorbs both of those colors.
Does light go through glass or reflect?
Light can both go through and reflect off of glass. When light passes through glass, it is transmitting through the material. However, if the angle of incidence is steep, light can reflect off the surface of the glass.
Does a diamond shine or does it reflect?
reflectAnother AnswerCut and polished diamonds both shine and reflect under available light.
How is a birds eye similar to a humans eye?
They both reflect light.
What does chlorophyll do to make plants appear green?
Chlorophyll absorbs light in the red and blue spectrums for photosynthesis, but reflects green light, giving plants their green color. This is due to the molecular structure of chlorophyll which allows it to absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others.
Does white light reflect or bend?
White light can both reflect and bend. When white light hits a smooth surface, it will reflect off the surface at the same angle it hit it. When white light passes through a different medium like glass, it will bend due to refraction.
