When light is stopped it is normally said that absorption has taken place. Opaque objects normally absorb light and thus it does not get reflected or refracted.
absorbed
Light is perfectly reflected from a surface when the roughness of the surface is small compared to the wavelength of the light. Otherwise the reflection is diffuse.Light is refracted when it passes from one medium to another of a different refractive index. One in which the light travels at a different speed than in vacuo.
it can be transmitted, reflected, refracted or diffused. In most cases, some combination of these occurs.
white light
It is actually impossible to reflect a shadow, as a shadow is merely an absence of light. However, what IS reflected is the light surrounding the shadow. When this light is reflected, it forms a reflected image of the light's shape, complete with a lack of light, or shadow. In this way, it can look like a shadow is reflected.
Visible light from the Sun is refracted as it enters our eyes as parallel light rays. The light rays are converged to a point on our retina by the lens in our eyes. The inverted image produced is then sent chemically to the brain via the optic nerve where it is interpreted by our brains as a virtual image (the image that we see)
Light is refracted and reflected by a (glass) prism Light is refracted and reflected by a raindrop
Light is reflected and refracted in a diamond based on the angles of its facets relative to the source of the light.
It would be refracted.
An image is a copy of an object fromed by reflected (or refracted) rays of light.
It bounces in a different direction
When a beam of light hits a mirror and bounces off, it is reflected. When light is refracted it means the light penetrates into a substance and changes the direction of its movement.
Refracted. Light passing through is refracted, light bouncing off of is reflected.
A reflected light would be light reflected by a mirror, and the light would remain unchanged. A reflected light of daylight is when white light is split into 'rainbow' colours.
Light that is not absorbed is either reflected, refracted, or transmitted.
The light bends. Depending on whether it is a concave or convex mirror, the light is either being refracted or reflected
refracted or reflected
Incident light hits a prism, refracted or reflected light emerges from it. In what manner it is different from the incident light depends on the angle of incidence and the angles of the prism. Commonly it may be refracted, dispersed or reflected back.
