Nope. Light particles (photons)are nowhere near energetic enough to do that. On the other hand, tiny super-high-energy particles called, "Neutrinos" from outside the Earth are right now passing through you, me, and the entire Earth. There are not many materials dense enough to stop Neutrinos!

What happens to light which does not go into the glass block?

Light that does not enter the glass block will either continue traveling through the air or be reflected off the surface of the glass block. The reflected light may create a reflection or be absorbed by the surroundings.

What kind of radiation passes through the atmosphere and reaches the earths surface?

Most of the visible light and some of the ultraviolet and infrared radiation from the sun pass through the atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface. Other forms of radiation, such as gamma rays and X-rays, are mostly absorbed by the atmosphere and do not reach the surface.


When a beam of light falls on a surface it is called?

When a beam of light falls on a surface, it is called reflection if it bounces off the surface, or refraction if it passes through the surface and changes direction.


Can light travel if there is no air?

Yes, as light requires no particles to move, although it will spread and continue infinitely until it hits another surface


What happens to light when it hits a surface?

When light hits a surface, three things can happen: it can be absorbed by the surface, reflected off the surface, or transmitted through the surface. The amount of light that is absorbed, reflected, or transmitted depends on the properties of the surface material.


Describe two ways that light can be reflected.?

Light can be reflected from a smooth surface through specular reflection, where the light rays are reflected at the same angle as they strike the surface. Light can also be reflected from a rough or irregular surface through diffuse reflection, where the light is scattered in various directions upon hitting the surface.
