It reflects back and a small amount is absorbed into its reflective surface.
Yes, but since its surface is uneven (at atomic level), light is not reflected as in the case of a mirror. Anything that we can see (except black) reflects light. The white paper, for instance, reflects all the colours of white light and this is why it appears white to our eye.
Then the light won't work!!but it does work..
Unless it's space, it will reflect some light. This is because there is no man made shade of black that absorbs 100% of all light shone on it. Some natural examples of true black is pure carbon and space.
The light is deviated from a straight line or "bends" towards the normal on entering the glass and then away from the normal on leaving the glass. At certain angles the light undergoes dispersion - so that different wavelengths are deviated at different angles - and colours are separated - pure white light will separate into the spectrum.
It is because Water in rivers are like Mirrors, same just like the sea, water is actually transparent and what makes it blue is the sky, that happens because its acting like a mirror, it reflects because the light go to the water and reflects it to our eye and that what makes it act like a mirror.
When blue light is shone on a white surface, the surface reflects the blue light while absorbing other colors present in the light spectrum. This selective reflection results in the perception of the white color.
The white light splits into a spectrum.the original colors will appear. This is referred as REFRACTION.
It splits into the colours that make it up, so white light makes a rainbow, and different colours produce different results.
blue
It is the refraction of white light being shone through a glass prism, or a raindrop, that separates the white light into the colours of the rainbow.
red
It looks red.
Because white light, when shone through a prism, will divide into all the colours. And all the colours, mixed together, will combine into white light.
You can compare it by saying that each of them occur when a light transfers through one meduim to another. That's one way of explaining it.That is incorrect :( It happens when light is shone onto or through a different medium. Reflection happens when light is shone ONTO a mirror, you cant shine light THROUGH a mirror.
It depends on the shape of the prism and the angle of incidence. For prism in the shape of an equilateral triangle the white light splits into the colours of the spectrum as red light is slowed down less than blue in glass, so the red light is bent less than the blue
When red light shines on a red object, the object will reflect the red light and appear red. If white light shines on a red object, the object will absorb all colors except red, which it will reflect, making it appear red as well.
White light is visible when all colors of light are combined. This can be demonstrated through experiments like passing white light through a prism, which separates it into the visible spectrum of colors. Additionally, when white light is shone on a white surface, it reflects all colors equally, appearing as white.
