The way light is reflected off a mineral's surface is determined by its crystal structure and chemical composition. The specific orientation of the mineral's crystals affects the angles at which light is reflected, resulting in different luster and color characteristics. A mineral's surface can appear metallic, glassy, pearly, silky, or dull based on how light interacts with it.
What else can I help you with?
What is the light called when it has bounced off another object?
The light that has bounced off another object is typically referred to as reflected light. This occurs when light waves strike the surface of an object and are redirected or "reflected" off the surface.
When light bounces off of a shiny surface what is it said to be?
When light bounces of a shiny surface, such as a mirror, this is called specular reflection.(Diffuse reflection is when light bounces of a rough surface, such as a wall. You can tell it's a rough surface because you can't see your reflection.)
In which direction does light oscillate if it is reflected off a shiny transparent surface?
Light oscillates in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the shiny transparent surface when it is reflected. This is known as the normal direction.
What name is given to reflected light?
The name given to reflected light is "reflection." This is when light waves bounce off a surface and change direction.
What represents the light that bounces off of the surface?
The light that bounces off of a surface is called reflected light. When light hits a surface, some of it is absorbed, and the remaining light waves bounce off in different directions, creating reflection.
How does light reflected?
Light can be reflected because it bounces off a surface at an angle.
What are 3 examples of light being reflected?
- light reflected from a window- light reflected from a mirror- light reflected from snow
When light is reflected from a rough surface the reflected light does what while producing no image?
Bounces off

What are property that affects how much light will be reflected off it?
The extent of smoothness tells us that how much light will be reflected off any substance.If the surface is frictionless the light reflected will be cent percent.

Does transmitted and reflected mean the same thing?
No, in the context of light, transmitted and reflected are not the same. Transmitted light is when light passes through a material, while reflected light is when light bounces off a surface.
When light is reflected from the surface it is?
When light is reflected from a surface, it bounces off the surface in a predictable manner called the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (reflected light). This process allows us to see objects by the light they reflect into our eyes.
What surface will a ray of light be reflected?
A ray of light will be reflected off a surface that is smooth and shiny, such as a mirror, glass, or water. These surfaces have the ability to reflect light rays according to the law of reflection.
