When white light hits a blue surface what happens?
The blue surface absorbs most colors of white light except for blue, which is reflected. This reflected blue light is what we perceive with our eyes as the color blue.
What happens when light hits a white surface?
When light hits a white surface, the surface reflects most of the light that strikes it. This high reflectivity causes the surface to appear bright and white to our eyes. This is because white surfaces reflect all visible wavelengths of light equally, resulting in a neutral color appearance.
Which is the better reflector of light a black surface or a white surface?
A white surface because black absorbs the light, while white while reflect it. A good experiment is to wear a black shirt outside and a white shirt outside and see which makes you hotter in the sun
Does white light reflect or bend?
White light can both reflect and bend. When white light hits a smooth surface, it will reflect off the surface at the same angle it hit it. When white light passes through a different medium like glass, it will bend due to refraction.
What happens to the colors of white light when it hits opaque colored surfaces?
Opaque colored surfaces absorb certain colors of white light and reflect others. The color we perceive is the result of the reflected light that the surface does not absorb. So, if white light hits an opaque green surface, for example, the surface absorbs most colors except green, which we then see.
When a ray of white light hits an opaque surface with red orange yellow green and violet what colors will the surface appear?
The surface will appear white.

What happens when light hits a rough surface?
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.

How is a reflection of light off a white wall similar to the reflection of light off a mirror?
when light hits an object some light is absorbed and some is reflected. when it hits a mirror, almost all of that light is reflected. when it hits a white wall a lot of the light is reflected but not enough to form an image our i can detect. a wall is also not smooth so the light is reflected at billions of different angles
What will happen if the light hits a plane surface and a rough surface?
If the light hits a plane surface, regular reflection will take place and if light hits a rough surface, diffused (irregular) reflection will take place. Here is a diagram for both. Diffused (irregular) Regular
When a ray of light hits a surface two things will happen to the light. What are they?
When a ray of light hits a surface, two things can happen: reflection, where the light bounces back off the surface, and refraction, where the light enters the material and changes direction.
Why does light change direction when it hits things?
Light changes direction when it hits a shiny surface
Why don't white surfaces absorb as much light as black surfaces?
it's depends on element's of black surface that element absorb the sun light and convert it to thermal energy and in the other side white surface doesn't had a much element like black surface.
