When a telescope views a far off star, one that is said to be a light year away for example, we are seeing beams of light (and the image of that star) that have been travelling for one year at 10,000,000,000,000 kilometers per year.(10 to the 13th. power kpy) So end-on, we see the results (visible). From the side,(invisible), it's travelling too fast. So the answer depends on whether we are seeing the light beam coming toward us or if it is passing by . CursingL: If you move at the speed of light. The light, that would usually bounce of you so other people would be able to process the image with there eyes, would stay on you and never bounce off. Think about that

How can we see a lazer beam?

If one shines into your eye (don't do this it is dangerous) then you would see it directly. However, a lazer beam going past you would be invisible UNLESS there was a substance in its path that could reflect parts of its light back to you (such as mist or dust).


Is beam of light is visible or invisible as it passes through a solution?

It depends on the solution. If the solution is clear and transparent, the beam of light will be visible as it passes through. However, if the solution is opaque or colored, the beam of light may be invisible or difficult to see.


How can absorption and scattering affect a beam of light?

How absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light is if the beam of light is farther away from an object, the light would be dimmer. But, if the beam of light was closer to the object, then the light would appear brighter.

What is a infrared beam?

An infrared beam is often used on a security alarm. When the beam is broken, an alarm sounds. The beam is invisible because infrared is electromagnetic radiation that has longer wavelengths than the ones with visible light.


Can you stop light in air?

If a beam of light strikes a perfect black body, it will be absorbed and, therefore, you will have been able to "stop light in air" as was asked. If your question is about stopping the beam and holding it in place in some way, you cannot. The speed of light is a constant, and will be found to be the same in any inertial frame. If you could measure the speed of a beam of light and were moving "along side" the beam to measure its speed, you'd find it a constant no matter how fast you were moving. Stopping a beam of light in air is not something that can be done as asked.


How can one see an invisible laser beam?

One can see an invisible laser beam by using special equipment like a laser beam detector or by observing the beam's reflection off of particles in the air.


What is Beam of light called?

A beam of light is simply referred to as light or a light beam.


If you were traveling on a beam of light the beam would?

Traveling on a beam of light is not possible for objects with mass, as light moves at the fastest speed in the universe and cannot be caught up to. Traveling at the speed of light would also cause time dilation effects, where time would appear to stand still for the traveler.


Describe how absorption and scattering can affect a beam of light?
