Can reflection and refraction happen at the same time?
Yes, reflection and refraction can happen at the same time when light encounters a boundary between two different mediums. Some light is reflected off the surface, while the remaining light is refracted into the second medium.
Can light reflect and absorb and transmit all at the same time?
Yes, light can be reflected, absorbed, and transmitted simultaneously. When light encounters a medium, some of it is reflected back, some is absorbed by the medium, and some is transmitted through it. The amount of light that is reflected, absorbed, and transmitted depends on the properties of the material it interacts with.
What is the difference between primary rain bow and secondary rain bow?
Rainbows are formed when light is reflected and refracted around the inside of water droplets. When the droplets get to a certain size, the light is reflected an additional time, creating a secondary rainbow.The reason you see both a primary and a secondary rainbow (or even higher orders of rainbow) is that the water droplets which are reflecting the light have different sizes. Some of them are large enough to fit the extra reflection inside them, whereas some are not.
What does light do when it travels through a medium?
Light slows down when going through a medium. This is not to say that the speed of light, c, slows down. It doesn't - c remains constant - rather the light bounces randomly around the medium on its way to its destination, which increases the time it takes for the light to traverse through the medium.
What time of day can a rainbow form?
A rainbow is formed when sun light from behind you is refracted {bent} ,dispersed and reflected from the rain drops in front of you.Red colour is seen at the outside of the bow.Violet light is sen at the inner side of the bow.In a rainbow, the angle between the sun and the rain drops and the eye is about 42 degrees

Why ice is white and water clear?
Water is what it is it's color is caused by what is or is not in it. Ice is made of crystals when light hits them it is refracted like a prisms all colors are reflected out at once, all colors coming out at the same time is seen as white

How long could light reflect?
Light is reflected by an object for however long a light source is shining on it. Also, even when the light source is gone, the light that was reflected continues for an infinite amount of time.

Can light be reflected and refrated at the same time?
Reflection happens when light waves bounce on a reflective surface. Refraction occurs when light wave bends through two different mediums. If you can see through a window and see your image at the same time, it due to both refraction and reflection.
Are rainbows most often seen on cloudy rainy days?
Yes. A rainbow requires moisture in the air in order to form. when its raining and sunny at the same time the light from the sun shines on a raindrop. as the light goes through the raindrop it splits into 7 colours (a rainbow).
What does light do when it travels through a medium?
Light slows down when going through a medium. This is not to say that the speed of light, c, slows down. It doesn't - c remains constant - rather the light bounces randomly around the medium on its way to its destination, which increases the time it takes for the light to traverse through the medium.
Which Moon phase reflects the most light?
As we see it, it is the full Moon. However, at any time, the Sun is shining on a full side of the moon, so the same amount of light is reflected, but less light is reflected towards us. How much daylight and darkness there is, also affects how much light appears to be reflected from the Moon as we see it. So when the Moon is visible before the Sun sets, it doesn't look as bright as it does after the Sun sets.
How many rainbows are in the world?
Rainbows are optical and meteorological phenomena that occur when sunlight is reflected, refracted, and dispersed in droplets of water. Since they are dependent on sunlight and water droplets, there is not a set number of rainbows in the world at any given time. They can appear wherever light and rain interact in the right conditions.

How does light bounce off things?
Light bouncing off things is also known as reflecting light. If the material is transparent, most of the light will pass through, only some will be reflected. If the material is translucent, some of the light will pass through, some will be reflected. If the material is opaque, only a few of the light will pass through, most light will be reflected. I wrote this in a hurry; it's almost time to go; I'm sorry; I hope it will be useful to you though.
