What happens when light hits a window?
Some of the light will pass through the window. Some of the light will be reflected by the window. A small amount of light will be absorbed by the window. This amount could be increased for certain wavelengths by UV or IR coating. The light that passes through the window will be refracted (or bent) slightly. However, it will not be significant for a thin window pane.
List of translucent objects?
Translucent means that some, but not all light passes through the object. Here's a list: ~tinted windows (like on most newer cars) ~finger (if you are shining a flashlight through it in the dark) ~paper This is off of the top of my head, there are plenty more...
How does light bounce off things?
Light bouncing off things is also known as reflecting light. If the material is transparent, most of the light will pass through, only some will be reflected. If the material is translucent, some of the light will pass through, some will be reflected. If the material is opaque, only a few of the light will pass through, most light will be reflected. I wrote this in a hurry; it's almost time to go; I'm sorry; I hope it will be useful to you though.
Can you light a flashlight with some lemons?
Yes it is possible to make an acid battery using the acid in a lemon. (you would need allot of lemon batteries to light a flashlight bulb though - try using a diode light bulb) For more information on how to do this look in the link I will place below.
What do you mean when you say an object is opaque?
An object is opaque when it absorbs or reflects light, and does not transmit the light through itself. And object is transparent or translucent if it transmits some or all of the light through itself.
What happens to light that strikes a transluctent material?
some of the light is reflected, some of the light is absorbed, and some of the light passes though.
When light from a star passes though the star's outer gases what happens to some of the light?
Some of the light gets absorbed by the gases, causing them to heat up and emit light themselves. This creates an absorption spectrum with dark lines at specific wavelengths corresponding to the elements present in the star's atmosphere.
Is the material translucent if light is diffused as it passes through it?
Yes, if light is diffused as it passes through a material, it is likely to be translucent, meaning that some light can pass through but it is not completely transparent.
Does tracing paper allow only some light to pass through?
Yes. Some light is absorbed by the paper and some is reflected. Only some light passes through.
Light that passes through an object is called?
Light usually passes through a transparent object. Similarly, light passes through the translucent objects but people cannot see through it.
How does light pass through coloured jelly?
its the same as how light passed though glass and water. if you place a light behind the jelly there is a coloured shadow if front fo it because of how the light fragments as it passes though the jelly. the reflecion of the crystals in the jelly case the colour to show. same as how you can see what colour the jelly is in the first place
Where does Light passes faster?
The speed of light is fastest in a vacuum. All other materials slow it down to some degree.
Are most objects opaque?
No, not all objects are opaque. Some objects are transparent (light passes through easily), translucent (light passes through but is diffused), or opaque (blocks light from passing through). It depends on the material and structure of the object.
What happens when light passes through a glass box?
You will see what some people call a rainbow, the differing refraction of light frequencies
What passes light through the specimen on a microscope?
The condenser lens focuses light onto the specimen, which then passes through the specimen. Some of the light is absorbed by the specimen, while the rest is transmitted through, eventually reaching the objective lens for magnification and visualization.
What are some of the ways that matter can change?
when it is heated, exposed to light, mixed or when electricity passes through it
Why are some seas transparent?
Water is not totally transparent. Some light gets absorbed when it passes through water. The longer the distance, the more light gets absorbed.Water is not totally transparent.
