when light goes into a magnifying glass, it simply reflects the air in the centre. E.G. if you points the magnifying glass at a leaf, a hole in the leaf will appears because all the light that was absorbed by the magnifying glass is reflected into the line of sight of the leaf.

How are color and light related?

If you look at the sun you have the suns bright light, then get a magnifying glass and hold it up to the sun...Do you see colors(r.o.y.g.b.i.v.) Light and color are related because, you can bend light and that is how you get color. then again you can't take a paintbrush and paint and expect to get light so there you are the answer to your question.


What causes the continuous rising and sinking of the suns gases?

Heat generated at the core.


If the earth was made out of glass would you still get sunlight?

In effect yes because the suns light would be reflected of it, the nights would be lighter though as SOME light would get through to the other side


How does the sun affect the weather on earth?

The sun affects the weather on earth because the suns heat makes water evaporate from earths surface.


How does the color of your clothing affect the temperature?

The darkness of a colored item can determine how much heat it reflects, as well as how much light it reflects. For example, cars of a darker color, or clothing of a darker color, will absorb more heat than lighter ones when placed in sunlight.There is a basic experiment you can perform.Get a pair of socks. Dye one sock black and leave the other white. (Or simply find two socks made of the same material, one much darker than the other.)Put them on your feet and go out into the sun with them (be sure they stay clean!)Lay down, prop your feet up, and point both feet at the sun.You will notice that the black sock gets much warmer, much faster. Experiment with various colors. Darker socks should get warmer.White light (the light from the sun) contains all the colors of the spectrum. Light also carries heat. When you wear a white sock, all the colors of the spectrum are reflected back. Very little light is absorbed so little heat is absorbed.A black sock on the other hand absorbs all colors of the spectrum. So lots of light is absorbed and with it, lots of heat. Different colors reflect more or less light back. This means that different colors also absorb different amounts of heat.

Does photosynthesis need the suns heat energy or the suns light energy?

Photosynthesis primarily relies on the sun's light energy, which is captured by chlorophyll in plant cells to drive the photosynthetic process. While some heat energy may be generated as a byproduct of photosynthesis, it is not the main source of energy for the process.


What energy produces suns heat and light?

The energy produced by the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium in the sun's core is what generates the heat and light emitted by the sun. This process releases energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light and heat.


How can a convex lens be useful for making a fire?

A convex lens converges light. If the sun is out, you can concentrate enough light on a point to start a fire. There is an old joke about the Focus Ranch, where the "sons raise meat" -- or where the "suns rays meet".


What is the suns source of energy?

The sun crushes hydrogen into helium with its immense gravity. This makes light and heat. This is a nuclear reaction.
