What else can I help you with?
Imagine that you are a fish underwater When you look up to the surface to the water you can see the sky and also the bottom of the pool How do you explain this unusual view?
Reflection and refraction. You see the reflection on the bottom of the surface of the pool. You see the refraction of light through the surface of the pool. This is the super short answer...someone else might provide more information but the reader can "google" reflection and refraction to find out more.
What do you call the reflection of light from a rough surface?
Reflection of light from a rough surface is known as "Diffused" or "Irregular" reflection, because the light rays are barely seen after the reflection of light from a rough surface.
What is it called when an image appears on a surface?
Reflection?
Can we see your reflection in a dark room on the mirror?
It may be possible if there is enough light in the room to see an outline of your reflection in the mirror. Or, your eyes may adjust to the dimness of the room and you may see a faint outline of your reflection in the mirror.
Why can you see your reflection on a shiny surface?
Sometimes, water can act as a mirror. The light that the sun gives off has bounced off of you into the water. When the light reaches the surface of the water, it can do two things. Firstly, it can be refracted underneath the surface. Secondly, it can be reflected back at you and into your eye. Usually, both occurs, although whether enough reflection occurs to make you see your reflection or not depends on several factors. Your eye does something similar. It picks up the light from the sun that has bounced off of objects and creates a picture out of it. While the water acts like a mirror and your eye acts like a lens, the concept is very similar.
What kind of reflection will an uneven surface give off?
An uneven surface will give off a diffused reflection, scattering light in multiple directions. This diffuse reflection can reduce glare and create a more uniform lighting environment compared to a smooth, mirror-like surface.
Why can't you see your reflection in a brick wall?
=The reason you can't see into a brick wall because light rays are reflected in many directions from the uneven surface.=
When a beam of light strikes a rough surface it reflects at?
It reflects randomly, termed by physics "irregular reflection" or "diffused reflection."
Why can you see your reflection in an spoon but not in a piece of cloth?
A spoon has a smooth and reflective surface that can bounce light back towards you, allowing you to see your reflection. In contrast, a piece of cloth has a rough and uneven surface that scatters light in different directions, making it difficult for the light to reflect directly back to your eyes to see a clear image.
Why can you see your reflection in a mirror but not a brick wall?
you can see a image on a mirror because energy bounce off
What reflection would a rough piece of paper give?
A rough piece of paper would give a distorted and fragmented reflection due to its uneven and irregular surface, making it difficult to see a clear or detailed image.
Why can you see your reflected in mirror but not in a brick wall?
you can see a image on a mirror because energy bounce off
What type of reflection describes how light reflects off an uneven surface?
Diffuse reflection describes how light reflects off an uneven surface. In this type of reflection, light is scattered in different directions due to the surface not being smooth or flat. This results in a matte or non-specular appearance.
Why you can see your reflection in a spoon but not in a piece of cloth?
A spoon has a smooth, flat surface that acts like a mirror, reflecting light rays back towards you. In contrast, a piece of cloth has a rough, uneven surface that scatters light in multiple directions, preventing a clear reflection.
When light bounces off an uneven surface the results?
When light bounces off an uneven surface, it scatters in random directions rather than reflecting uniformly like with a smooth surface. This scattering of light creates a matte or rough appearance on the surface, rather than a shiny or mirror-like reflection.
Does the texture of a surface affect if there is a type of reflection off that surface?
Yes, the texture of a surface can affect the type of reflection. A smooth surface typically produces a regular reflection, where light rays reflect at the same angle they hit the surface. In contrast, a rough surface can cause diffuse reflection, where light rays scatter in various directions due to the uneven surface.
When can you see a reflection in a surface?
You can see a reflection in a surface when light rays bounce off the surface and travel to your eyes, creating an image of what is in front of the surface. In order for a reflection to be clear, the surface needs to be smooth and not absorbent.
