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 any kind of wave bounces off a barrier the bouncing back of the was is?
called reflection. Reflection occurs when a wave encounters a boundary and changes direction, bouncing off the surface. The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection according to the law of reflection.
Why does light reflect off an object?
Light reflects off an object because of the interaction between the incoming light waves and the surface of the object. The smooth surface of an object allows light waves to bounce off in a predictable manner, following the law of reflection. This reflection is what allows us to see objects, as the light that reflects off them enters our eyes.
What does the shape of the shadow tell us about light?
The shape of a shadow depends on the angle, shape and intensity of the light source. Shadows can be distorted or elongated when light is coming from a low angle, while they may appear sharper with direct overhead light. The size and shape of the object casting the shadow also influence its appearance.
How much solar energy is absorbed and how much is reflected from the earth's surface?
At the earth's surface about 51% of incoming solar radiation is absorbed, and 4% is reflected back into space.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%

How do you know what comets are made of?
Astronomers analyze the light reflected from comets with a machine, and can easily tell what major elements it is composed of.
How can you tell if an angle is a bisecting angle?
You can tell if a ray is bisecting an angle if the angle is cut directly in half into two congruent parts.
What is the relation of speed of light through a substance and the ange of refraction?
The speed of light in a single substance doesn't tell you anything about refraction. The angle of refraction at the boundary between two substances depends on the speed of light in both of them ... and also, let us not forget, on the angle of incidence at the boundary.

How can I tell if an angle is a right angle?
Measure it and if it is 90 degrees, then it is a right angle
Does mirror need light in order to work?
YES, just go try standing in the bathroom with the door shut and the lights off and tell me if you can see your reflection.Mirrors reflect light being reflected off your mug.
How can you tell when one figure is a reflection of another figure?
When you exchange the x and y values it creates a reflection.
How are color and luster similar and different?
i asked my teacher and he said just to put metallic or shiny to describe the color. the luster is metallic according to my book.

What does classify mean in the sentence classify the angle?
to tell what the angle is
