I know because as long as there is no physical obstruction between a light-source and my eyes,

and my eyes are open, I can always tell instantly whenever the source is activated or deactivated,

without touching anything or getting any hints. I do that by seeing the light, and my instantaneous

correct responses prove that it works.

What do mirrors do to light wave?

As you know that there are three types of light waves i.e infrared light, visible light and ultra violet light. Out of these, only visible light rays (waves) gets reflected by the mirror but the other two light waves passes through the mirror.


What are the waves called that have more energy than light you can see?

Sound because it has more waves than light.


How do light waves act when it hits different materials?

It depends if it is a transparent object it may split the light and make colors, like what a crystal does. You can see colors because of whatever the light shines on, it does NOT attract the color you see. (don't know how to say that...)


Why do we see light waves but not rays eletromagnetic?

Light waves are what we physically perceive as light, while electromagnetic rays are conceptual constructs used in physics to analyze the behavior of light. The interaction of light with our eyes and surrounding environment allows us to detect and see light waves, but we do not directly see electromagnetic rays because they are not a tangible form of energy that we can visually perceive.


How do light waves work to enable us to see objects around us?

Light waves are electromagnetic waves that travel through space and interact with objects. When light waves hit an object, they are either absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. Our eyes detect the reflected light waves and send signals to our brain, which processes the information and allows us to see the object.

What electromagnetic waves can humans not see?

Humans cannot see ultraviolet, infrared, or radio waves as they fall outside the visible spectrum of light. Ultraviolet waves have wavelengths shorter than violet light, while infrared waves have wavelengths longer than red light. Radio waves have even longer wavelengths.


What are two light energy waves that you can't see?

The two ligh energy waves that you can't see are ultra-violet (UV), and infra-red (IR). Ultra-violet light waves are measured at 380nm and below, infra-red light waves are 750nm and above. Normal light that you can see resides between these two regions.


How are X-Ray waves used in the study of stars?

Stars emit all kinds of radiation including light waves, cosmic rays, gamma rays, and X-rays. When we look at stars, we can only see the light waves. But using cameras that can 'see' the other wavelengths, particularly X-rays, then convert them to light waves that we CAN see, we notice a lot of things that simply do not show up by looking at the stars' light waves.
