same way normal light does. it's just normal light bouncing off a reflective surface and onto another surface

Can you see reflective materials without light why?

no when a light hits an object the light will bounce back


Is a CD a translucent object?

A CD is not considered a translucent object. Translucent objects allow some light to pass through, but scatter it in different directions, making the object appear blurry or opaque. In contrast, a CD is reflective and opaque, as it does not allow light to pass through it.


What objects reflect and absorb light?

Any object you can see reflects light. If it did not reflect any light it would be invisible. Similarly, no object is so reflective that it reflects all light. The proof that it absorbs light is that it increses in temperature as it is exposed to light.


Can you see the reflective material without light and why?

No, reflective materials require light in order to reflect. Without light, the reflective material will not be able to bounce light off its surface and appear reflective.


Can you see through a opaque object?

No, that is what opaque means. Light does not go through an opaque object. An object that is translucent will allow light through, but is opaque enough to keep you from seeing clearly through it (think about frosted glass used for bathroom windows). Transparent is "see through".


When we see an object, we see light that is what?

When we see an object, we see light that is reflected off of the object and into our eyes.


Is a book an translucent object?

A book isn't translucent, it's opaque.A transparent object allows most of the light to pass through it allowing us to see through clearly through it.A translucent object allows some of the light to pass through it allowing us to see through it to a limited extent.An opaque object allows no light to pass through it and does not allow us to see through it at all.


Why can you see opaque objects?

Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through them, so they reflect or absorb light rays instead. When light strikes an opaque object, it scatters in different directions, some of which enter our eyes, allowing us to see the object.


How does mirrors reflects light?

The light shine on any object is either reflected or absorbed into the object. Modern mirror use highly reflective material coated behind the flat glass surface thus the light would bounce off at exact opposite angle and we could see the reflection.


Is light reflected?

Light is an energy force which has weight. Light particles rebound back to the eye because every object has a reflective surface. Perhaps we could ask the question "Why do we see things in different colors?" Light is white in color. This white light is in actual fact a combination of all the colors of the spectrum. When light strikes an object the object will absorb some of the colors but reject others. The combination of these rejected colors give us the color we see. A green cover book is so because the colors blue and yellow were not absorbed by the material of the book cover. Some say that because some objects absorb all colors the object is seen as black, or the absence of color. So why do we still see black objects? Because even a black object has a reflective surface.


What happens to light to allow us to see any object?

When light hits an object, it is either absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. The reflected light enters our eyes, where it is focused by the lens onto the retina, stimulating the cells that send signals to the brain. The brain then interprets these signals as images, allowing us to see the object.
