Objects that block light from reaching a certain area are called "obstacles" or "shadows." When light encounters an object, it cannot pass through it, resulting in a shadow on the other side. In some contexts, these objects can also be described as "opaque" if they completely obstruct light.
What else can I help you with?
Why is light years used as a unit of the universe?
Because the universe is so large, they need something like light to at least reach large amounts of distance.
What do you call it when you see the outline of something an the inside is coulorded in black?
Do you mean a silhouette? A silhouette is when an object is projected and you can see the outline, meaning the inside is black because the light can't reach there.
How many planets does the sun's light reach?
The Sun's light reaches all of the planets in our Solar system. We see them only because they reflect some of the Sun's light.
What takes longer to reach earth light from the sun or light from other stars?
Light from the sun because all light travels at the same speed, and the sun is the closest star to the earth, so therefore the light from the sun reaches the earth before light from other (further away) stars
What is it called when it is a complete shadow?
The darkest part of a shadow is called the "umbra" The lighter part of a shadow is called the "penumbra" An "antumbra" is the area of light which surrounds the object creating a shadow, as in a "ring of fire" eclipse (like the recent one in May, 2012). It can best be seen when the viewer is beyond the focal point of the umbra, but in line with it.
Why is light years used as a unit of the universe?
Because the universe is so large, they need something like light to at least reach large amounts of distance.
What is the space behind a opaque object where light doesn't reach called?
The space behind an opaque object where light doesn't reach is called a "shadow." A shadow forms because the opaque object blocks the path of light, preventing it from illuminating the area behind it. The characteristics of a shadow, such as its size and shape, depend on the light source's position and intensity.
What is it called when a person plans something?
Thinking because when you are planning it is basically thinking of what you are going to do.
What do you call it when you see the outline of something an the inside is coulorded in black?
Do you mean a silhouette? A silhouette is when an object is projected and you can see the outline, meaning the inside is black because the light can't reach there.
Why Lorentz Tranformation does not allow any object to reach the speed of light?
from a purely mathematical stand point, if something were to reach the speed of light the time dialation/length contraction formula would yield something over 0. This is beacuse the formula is: constant/[(1-(velocity/speed of light)^2] as you can see, if velocity=speed of light, you get something over zero.
What is the place where light cannot get to because an OPEC object is stopping the light is called?
The place where light cannot reach because an object is blocking it is called a "shadow." In the context of an opaque object, such as a planet or a solid object, it prevents light from passing through, creating an area of darkness behind it. Shadows vary in size and intensity depending on the light source and the distance between the object and the surface where the shadow is cast.
What is the space behind an opaque object where light does not reach?
The space behind an opaque object where light does not reach is called a "shadow." A shadow forms because the opaque object blocks the path of light, preventing it from illuminating that area. The characteristics of the shadow, such as its shape and size, depend on the light source's position and intensity. Shadows can vary in darkness and clarity based on the object's proximity to the light source.
Why were stilts invented?
Because someone was too short to reach something.
What can be hot as thermite?
If you light a magnesium ribbon or something the fire produced can probably reach that heat too.
Scientist recently detected a new born star 100 light years away light from this star takes how many years to reach the earth?
Well the answer is in the question. A light year is the distance it takes light to travel in one year. If something is a 100 light years away, then it will take light ..........
Why can we see the sun?
We can see the sun because it emits light and that light travels through space to reach our eyes on Earth.
Why does it takes years for star's light to reach earth?
because they are so far away!!
