What materials are poor reflectors?

A reflector is a, usually large, sheet of reflective material to reflect light into shadows of an object. Materials such as metals reflect light, whilst materials such as wood and paper do not.


If you shine red light and green light on red curtains what colour will the curtains look?

When red light and green light shine on red curtains, the red curtains will appear red. This is because objects appear a certain color based on the wavelengths of light they reflect. Red objects reflect red light and absorb other colors, so even when green light is shone on them, they will still primarily reflect red light, maintaining their red appearance.


Does light refract more when going through a thicker substance?

well three things happen when light strikes an object Refract Reflect absorb


Reflection in a window at night?

The image you see the the reflection of light from the object into your eyes. During the day time, light from the object incident and reflect to your eyes as well as light from the outside refract to your eyes. Therefore, you barely notice the image. At night, however, there is no source of light from the window outside. As a result, there is only light from the object(yourself) reflect back to your eyes. Hence, your image is visible on the window at night.


Does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?

Highly polished, shiny surfaces reflect light the best as they are REFLECTive. White or bright surfaces also reflect light well. Dull, Matt surfaces are the worst reflecters of light

Objects that do not reflect light well?

Dark colors, especially flat black do not reflect light well. Carbon Nanotubes are considered the worst for reflecting light.

Do shiny objects reflect light well?

Yes. very well


What objects don't reflect things well?

Objects that are matte or rough in texture, such as a piece of cloth or a rough stone, typically do not reflect light well and therefore do not produce clear reflections. Other objects that are translucent or absorb light rather than reflecting it, like a sponge or a black hole, also do not reflect things well.


Why does shiny and light coloured objects reflect more light than rough and dark objects?

Shiny and light-colored objects reflect more light because they have a smooth surface that allows light to bounce off more directly. In contrast, rough and dark objects have uneven surfaces that scatter light in different directions, leading to less reflection and absorption of light.


What objects do reflect light well?

reflect light well-normally shinysmooth pale colour objects: mirror, glass, shiny metal, tin foil...these objects favour a good image due to the reflection of light is regular do not reflect light well-usually rough, matt , dark colured objects: tree trunk, car wheel, dark carboard, brick, stone, dark opaque plastic... These objects diffuse the picture or do not giva a picture at all because reflected light is irregular.


Do light rays reflect off your eyes onto objects?

Yes, light rays can reflect off the surface of your eyes onto objects, especially when you are in a well-lit environment. This reflection is known as "eye shine" and can be observed in animals as well.


How does the sun reflect?

The sun does not reflect as it is a source of light itself. However, objects in space or on Earth can reflect sunlight by bouncing the light off their surfaces, like the Moon reflecting sunlight back to Earth.


Why are you unable to see non- luminous objects in a dark box?

Because light can't directly reach the objects, or reflect well off the inside walls of the box. So not enough light bounces off the walls, then bounces off the objects, and then goes to your eyes.


Why is a satellite used to reflect light?

A satellite can be used to reflect light to improve visibility or communication over a larger area. This reflection can also help with tracking and monitoring objects in space, as well as providing a beacon for navigation purposes.


What objects in space reflect light?

Planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and icy bodies like Pluto are celestial objects that can reflect light in space. These objects reflect light from the Sun or other nearby sources, making them visible to telescopes and human observers on Earth.
