Why so some things EMIT light and others only REFLECT it?
Things emit light when they produce their own light source, like the sun emitting light due to nuclear fusion. Things reflect light when they do not have their own light source but instead bounce off and scatter light that hits their surface, like a mirror reflecting sunlight.
What do you understand by the term reflection of light . Name two objects which can reflect light?
Reflection of light is the phenomenon where light rays bounce off a surface after striking it. A mirror and a smooth metal surface are two examples of objects that can reflect light.
What are the two types of reflection of light?
The two types of reflection of light are regular reflection, where light rays reflect off a smooth surface at the same angle they hit it, and diffuse reflection, where light rays reflect off a rough or uneven surface in different directions.
What are two examples of illuminated and luminous objects?
Luminous objects are things that generate their own light such as The Sun and Fireflies. Illuminated objects are things that reflect light that has come from another source, things like The Moon or anything in your room when you switch on your light.
Do shiny things reflect light?
Yes, shiny objects reflect light because they have a smooth surface that allows light to bounce off without being absorbed. This reflection gives shiny objects their glossy appearance.
Do invisible things reflect light?
No, invisible things do not reflect light because they do not interact with photons in the visible spectrum. Invisibility is often achieved through techniques like bending light around an object or using materials that do not reflect or absorb light in the visible range.
What are some things that don't reflect that light?
Any object that is black will theoretically not reflect any light.
What are some things that don't reflect light?
Any object that is black will theoretically not reflect any light.
What things emit and what things Reflect?
Things that emit include light bulbs, the sun, and fire, which release energy in the form of light and heat. Things that reflect include mirrors, glass windows, and shiny surfaces, which bounce light off them without absorbing it.
What are three things that can reflect light?
Water surface glass
What are 3 things that reflect light?
Mirrors reflect light by bouncing it off their smooth surfaces. Water reflects light, especially when the surface is calm and acts like a mirror. Glass windows reflect light depending on the angle of incidence.
Why so some things EMIT light and others only REFLECT it?
Things emit light when they produce their own light source, like the sun emitting light due to nuclear fusion. Things reflect light when they do not have their own light source but instead bounce off and scatter light that hits their surface, like a mirror reflecting sunlight.
What are 2 things that reflect light?
Mirror surfaces reflect light by bouncing of incoming light waves at equal and opposite angles. Glass surfaces reflect light due to the difference in refractive index between the air and the glass material.
Why can't dirty things reflect light?
Dirty things may not reflect light well because the dirt particles on the surface can absorb or scatter the light instead of allowing it to bounce off and create a reflection. The irregularities and inconsistencies on the dirty surface can also disrupt the smooth reflection of light.
What do you understand by the term reflection of light . Name two objects which can reflect light?
Reflection of light is the phenomenon where light rays bounce off a surface after striking it. A mirror and a smooth metal surface are two examples of objects that can reflect light.
What gives things their color?
Objects get their color from the way they absorb and reflect light. Different materials absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light, which our eyes perceive as color.
If the Moon's rock is not metallic then how does it reflect light from the sun to shine down on us?
Metals are not the only things that reflect light. Can you see anything around you that is not metal? You see it because it is reflecting light.
