The cloth would be wite because if it were any other color the colored light would mix with the color of the cloth and make a different color.


Why cant you see your reflection in a piece of cloth?

The cloth is a non-reflective surface because the light is absorbed in the cloth instead of reflected or refracted like in a mirror or a pane of glass or a pool of water. BTW: A lightyear is 28,362,764,866,464,000 miles in distance. I just saw an answered question that didn't explain it at all and I thought you'd need at least one fun fact a day!! :))


Why can you see your reflection in a spoon but not in a piece of cloth?

You can see your reflection in a spoon because it has a smooth and shiny surface that can reflect light rays. A piece of cloth has a rough and absorbent surface that scatters the light instead of reflecting it, making it impossible to see a clear reflection.


Why you can see your reflection in a spoon but not in a piece of cloth?

A spoon has a smooth, flat surface that acts like a mirror, reflecting light rays back towards you. In contrast, a piece of cloth has a rough, uneven surface that scatters light in multiple directions, preventing a clear reflection.


Why can you see yourself in a spoon and not on a piece of cloth?

You can see yourself in a spoon because it has a smooth and polished surface that reflects light, creating an image. In contrast, a piece of cloth has a rough and textured surface that scatters light in different directions, making it difficult to see a clear reflection.

What does a piece of blue cloth do to the colors in white light that falls upon it?

A piece of blue cloth absorbs most colors of light but reflects blue light. When white light falls on it, the cloth absorbs all colors except blue, so only blue light is reflected back to our eyes, making the cloth appear blue.


Why do clothes get darker when they get wet?

Cloth normally reflects some light. Remember that materials absorb "not colors" and they reflect "colors" that they are. Make sense? If something is blue, it reflects blue light and absorbs the rest (the "not colors"). Let's jump. Take a piece of cloth that is absorbing some light and reflecting other light. Along comes water. Water is basically transparent to light. But it does refract, or "bend" light, do a degree. When cloth is wet, some of the light that otherwise might be reflected is scattered into the cloth, and the cloth is given a "second chance" to absorb more of the light - which it does. More light absorbed equates to darker color or appearance. Wet cloth absorbs more light because of the effects of the water. Water scatters some of the light, and the cloth absorbs more of that light than it would if it wasn't wet.

Why cant you see your reflection on a piece of cloth?

the reason is that mirrors and mattalic surfaces shine and are able to reflect light so if u r in the light u look at a mirror your eyes look at it andit bounces back so u see ur self cloth is not shiny aqnd cant reflect


Why can you see your reflection in an spoon but not in a piece of cloth?

A spoon has a smooth and reflective surface that can bounce light back towards you, allowing you to see your reflection. In contrast, a piece of cloth has a rough and uneven surface that scatters light in different directions, making it difficult for the light to reflect directly back to your eyes to see a clear image.
