What happens when light hits a rough surface?
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
What happens when hits a black surface?
im assuming that u meant "what happens when LIGHT hits a black surface?" the reason for this is that the black surface ABSORBS the light, and so none of the light waves can be reflected back (which is what makes it look black)
What happens to a beam of light once it hits water?
The incident ray (the incoming light) hits the water and then the speed is slowed. It is called 'Refraction'. Which is the bending of light through a translucent or transparent object.
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the sun's rays strike the earths surface increases?
Each beam of sunlight has the same amount of energy (which is where we get our warmth). The energy of the sun is more spread accross the Earth's surface with increased angles (oblique). This is what happens at the poles where the sun light hits the Earth at 180 degrees. It is cold at the poles because the sun's energy is spread out over a large area. As the angle of the sun decreases the energy of the sun hits the earth directly and is concentrate. This is what happens when the sun hits the equator at 90 degrees and that is why it is warm at the equator.
What happens when white light is shone into a mirror?
It reflects back and a small amount is absorbed into its reflective surface.

What happens when sunlight hits a surface?
The sunlight will be absorbed by the surface.If the surface is a mirror,lesser light will be absorbed.More will be reflected. If the surface is black,more light will be absorbed.
What happens when light hits the surface of an object an angle?
When light hits the surface of an object at an angle, it can be reflected (bounced off), refracted (bent), or absorbed by the object. The amount of light that is reflected or refracted depends on the surface properties of the object, such as smoothness and transparency.
What is it called when light hits a surface that it cannot pass through?
There is no scientific term for what happens when light hits an opaque object I'm afraid to say.
What happens when light rays hits a very smooth surface?
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.
What occurs when light hits a irregular surface?
When light hits an irregular surface, it scatters in different directions due to the uneven geometry of the surface. This scattering is known as diffuse reflection, which causes the light to be reflected in a non-uniform manner, unlike in the case of a smooth surface where light reflects uniformly.
What happens when infrared hits a shiny surface?
When infrared light hits a shiny surface, such as a mirror or metal object, the surface reflects much of the light because of its high reflectivity. This reflection can result in a decrease in the temperature of the shiny surface since less energy is absorbed.
What happens when a light ray hits a surface?
They may be absorbed and converted to heat or reflected in scattered fashion.
What happens when an light hits a transparent surface?
When light hits a transparent surface, it can be transmitted through the material if the material's optical properties allow it. Some of the light may also be reflected off the surface and a small portion may be absorbed by the material. The amount of light that is transmitted, reflected, or absorbed depends on the properties of the material and the angle at which the light strikes the surface.
What happens if the same amount of light hits a black surface?
If the same amount of light hits a black surface, the black surface will absorb most of the light and convert it into heat. This is because black surfaces absorb a wide range of light frequencies and reflect very little, giving them their characteristic dark appearance.
When white light hits a blue surface what happens?
The blue surface absorbs most colors of white light except for blue, which is reflected. This reflected blue light is what we perceive with our eyes as the color blue.
