What else can I help you with?
What happens when a yellow light strikes a red ball?
It bounces off (is reflected) by the surface of the basketball. If some of the reflected light reaches your retina then you will see the ball.
What happens to light when it reaches white clothes?
White clothes reflect most of the light that reaches them because they contain pigments that do not absorb specific wavelengths. This reflected light results in the perception of the clothes appearing white to our eyes.
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 two things happen to light when it strikes to an object?
When light strikes an object, it can be absorbed by the object, converting into other forms of energy, or it can be reflected off the object's surface, allowing us to see the object if the reflected light reaches our eyes.
What happens to the laser light when it reaches the satellite in the ranging system?
When the laser light reaches the satellite in a ranging system, part of the light is reflected back towards the Earth. By measuring the time it takes for the light to travel to the satellite and back, the distance between the Earth station and the satellite can be calculated with high precision. This helps in monitoring the satellite's position and orbit.
What happens to the light when it reaches the light colored clothes?
Light-colored clothes reflect more light than they absorb, making them appear brighter. The light is scattered and reflected off the fabric, giving the clothes their characteristic color and making them seem more visible.
When the amount of light reflected increases called?
When the amount of light reflected increases, it is referred to as brightness or luminance. This is a measure of how intense the light appears to the human eye.
What does visible light turn in to after it hits the ground?
Visible light is either absorbed by the ground or reflected back into the atmosphere. Absorbed light is converted into heat energy, while reflected light contributes to what we see as color or brightness of the surface.
What happens when light is reflected?
Reflections occur when light bounces of a smooth and shiny surface. Glass mirrors have a thin layer of silver on the back so that light is reflected.
What will be the color reflected by a green surface when yellow light is incident on it?
No light will be reflected, since there is no incident green light to reflect. To a human observer, the surface will appear black.
What happens when white light strikes an object?
Depending on the object, it may be reflected, absorbed, refracted or internally reflected.
What happens to the light rays as they hit the mirror?
They are reflected at the angle of incidence.
