When light strikes a blue opaque surface only blue light is?
... reflected, and perceived by passersby.
What happens when sun light strikes a plant cell?
The Plant Cell Shrinks
What is said about the way light reflects from the mirror?
it is because a mirror has a smooth surface.
Why metal surface shine?
because it is very smooth therefore it reflects the light
What happens to sun light that strikes a leaf but is not trap by the chlorophyll?
It is either transmitted or reflected. Often, different portions of the light do both.
What does light do when it strikes a surface that is not smooth?
When light strikes a rough surface it reflects in essentially random directions.
How lights behave when it strikes in smooth and rough surface?
When light strikes a smooth surface (like a mirror), it is reflected. When it hits a rough surface (like a sheet of paper) it is diffused, meaning the rays of light are scattered.
What type of reflection results when light strikes a smooth surface?
Regular
What happens to the light when it strikes a shiny surface?
It reflects
What happens when light strikes a smooth shiny colored glass?
.Most of it is absorbed.none is reflected
What happens to sound or light waves when they hit a smooth surface?
They are reflected :)
What happens to the light when it strikes a plane mirror?
Light is an electromagnetic wave and as with all waves when they hit a smooth reflective surface such as a mirror they reflect which means they bounce off at 90 degrees. Light = incident ray Light reflected = reflective ray
How does light behave when it strikes a smooth surface?
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.they break
What happens when light is reflected off a smooth surface?
it reflicts back up
What happen when light strikes surfaces that are NOT smooth?
If the surface is shiny then you might get an image on a screen. If the surface is transparent as well then refraction well also take place.
What type of reflection happens when light reflects off a shiny smooth surface?
spectral
What happens when parallel rays of light hit a smooth surface?
Regular reflection happens.
