What else can I help you with?
When light bounces is it absorbed?
When light bounces off a surface, it is not absorbed by the surface unless the material is specifically designed to absorb light, such as in solar panels. Instead, the light reflects off the surface, which allows us to see objects and colors.
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.)
When light bounces straight off a surface you say that it is refracted?
Actually, when light bounces straight off a surface, we say that it is reflected, not refracted. Refraction occurs when light passes through a medium and changes speed, causing it to bend.
What is it called when light bounces off objects?
It is called reflection when light bounces off objects. Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media, so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated.
What is it called when objects reflect light?
It is called reflection. When objects reflect light, the light bounces off the surface of the object and into our eyes, allowing us to see the object.
What happens when light bounces off an objects?
Reflection happens when light bounces of an object.
Why are you unable to non- luminous objects in a dark box?
Because light can't directly reach the objects, or reflect well off the inside walls of the box. So not enough light bounces off the walls, then bounces off the objects, and then goes to your eyes.

What happens to light when it bounces off the surface of an object?
When light bounces off the surface of an object, it undergoes reflection. The angle of incidence (incoming light) is equal to the angle of reflection (outgoing light). This interaction allows us to see objects by the light that is reflected into our eyes.
When light bounces off an object?
When light bounces off an object, it is called reflection. The angle at which the light hits the object is equal to the angle at which it reflects off the object, following the law of reflection. This process allows us to see objects by the light that is reflected into our eyes.
What are refractive and reflective?
refraction is the bending of light rays when they pass through an object reflection is the light energy that bounces off objects
How do you see objects when light bounces off them?
When light bounces off an object, it reflects in all directions. Some of this reflected light enters our eyes and is processed by the brain, allowing us to perceive the object. The color and intensity of the light that is reflected determine how we see the object.
