Where does energy go when a light is absorbed by an object?
The energy will of course also be absorbed by the object. For example, when an object is in sunlight and absorbs part of the light, its temperature will increase.
What does it mean when light is scattered?
It means that even if, before striking an object, light rays move parallel, after striking the object they will go into different directions.
What happens when an object absorbs all the light striking it?
it appears black
How do colored objects look under colored lights?
If the light is or contains the colour the object it is striking, then the object will appear to be the colour it originally is. If the light is not or does not contain the colour the object it is striking, then object will appear black. This is because an object will only reflect the light that is the same colour as it, all other light is absorbed. For example: Red, yellow, magenta, and white light will make a red object appear red as they all contain red light. Blue, green and cyan light will make a red object appear black.
To reflect mean to absorb light waves?
when light bounces off of a bumpy surface, will you see the object the light is striking
Light waves striking an object can cause it to increase its temperature from this you can infer that?
From this you can infer that energy has been transferred by radiant energy.

How and why shadows vary?
This will greatly depend on the angle of the light striking the object.
What is the light that strikes a reflecting or refracting material called?
Light. Quantum particles impeding on an object. Electromagnetic waves striking an object.

What did classical physics predict would happen to the light given off by an object as its temperature increased?
The Energy of the light would increase from visible light into the ultraviolet range-APEX
How does light influence the temperature of an object?
it is light
Can you get a tan when its 52 degrees out with wind?
Yes. The temperature doesn't matter, ultraviolet light striking the skin causes tanning.
A blackbody curve relates the wavelength of emitted light to?
The temperature of the object.
