If you can see the light reflected, then it has hit your eyes, and your brain is processing it as the sense of sight, if you cannot see it, then it has reflected somewhere other than your eyes-IE; back into space, or it is a wavelength of light that the human eye cannot detect.
What else can I help you with?
What is reflected wavelengths?
Reflected wavelengths refer to the light waves that bounce off a surface instead of being absorbed or transmitted through it. The color we perceive is a result of the wavelengths of light that are reflected back to our eyes. Different surfaces reflect light in different ways, influencing the colors we see.
When reflected light bounces back at the same?
When reflected light bounces back at the same angle it hits a surface, it follows the law of reflection. This law states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This phenomenon occurs with smooth surfaces like mirrors or still water.
What are solid particles that produce color by reflecting or absorbing light?
Pigments are solid particles that produce color by selectively absorbing and reflecting light. The color we perceive is based on the wavelengths of light that are absorbed and those that are reflected back to our eyes.
What is the light rays that bounce back called?
The light rays that bounce back are called reflected light rays.
When light rays hit a rough surface and bounce back at different angles?
Light will be both absorbed and will be reflected unevenly (scattered) when impinging on a surface that is irregular. It depends on the light and the surface, but some light will be absorbed, and the rest (a little or a lot) will be scattered when it is reflected in different directions.
How will light hitting a solid surface be reflected back?
when a light ray is thrown on a PLANE surface two things occur which cause light to reflect 1- the incident ray is equal to the reflected ray 1- the incident ray , the reflected ray and the normal, at the point of incidence, all lie at the same plane
Why the color of crumpled plastic white?
The color of crumpled plastic is white because it reflects light of all wavelengths in the visable range. Light is reflected from a reflective surface at approximately 2 precent of the total light shining on it. When there is a second reflective surface beneath it light is also reflected but if both photons are in the same phase then the square of the total from both surfaces is reflested back ie. 16 percent, if they are out of phase they cancel out and no light is reflected. So when several reflective surfaces are layerd most of the light is reflected. If it is illuminated by white light then white light will be reflected.

Why does something shiny stop heat radiation?
Types of light energy are reflected off of shiny surfaces back into the atmosphere. Other surfaces, such as darker ones, absorb the light energy and heat up much quicker.
When reflected light bounces back at the same?
When reflected light bounces back at the same angle it hits a surface, it follows the law of reflection. This law states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This phenomenon occurs with smooth surfaces like mirrors or still water.
Why are image reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth surface?
Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.
What is the reflectivity of a surface called?
The reflectivity of a surface is called its albedo. It is a measure of how much of the incoming radiation that hits a surface is reflected back without being absorbed. High-albedo surfaces reflect more light, while low-albedo surfaces absorb more light.
What is the bouncing back of a ray of light sound or heat when the ray hits a surface that is does not go through?
We call that "bouncing back" a reflection. Heat in the form of infrared (IR) radiation is like light, and light and sound are said to be reflected off surfaces that do not absorb them.
What are solid particles that produce color by reflecting or absorbing light?
Pigments are solid particles that produce color by selectively absorbing and reflecting light. The color we perceive is based on the wavelengths of light that are absorbed and those that are reflected back to our eyes.
Does light bounce back if reflected?
yes it does
What is the light rays that bounce back called?
The light rays that bounce back are called reflected light rays.
The bouncing back of a ray of light?
Reflected. Fran
