When a body hits an obstacle the force with which it hits the obstacle depends upon?

the mass of the body and its velocity. The force is given by the equation F=ma, where F is the force, m is the mass of the body, and a is the acceleration (change in velocity) upon hitting the obstacle.


What happens when an light hits a transparent surface?

When light hits a transparent surface, it can be transmitted through the material if the material's optical properties allow it. Some of the light may also be reflected off the surface and a small portion may be absorbed by the material. The amount of light that is transmitted, reflected, or absorbed depends on the properties of the material and the angle at which the light strikes the surface.


What happens to light when it hits transparent or opaque liquid crystal in a digital watch?

When light hits a transparent liquid crystal in a digital watch, it either passes through or gets reflected, depending on the electrical current applied to the crystal. Opaque liquid crystals block the light, preventing it from passing through. The manipulation of light by liquid crystals allows for the display of information in digital watches.


What is the turning back or turning aside of any wave when it hits an obstacle?

The turning back or aside of any wave when it hits something is called a reflection.


Which wave diffracts the most when encountering an obstacle?

Firstly, diffraction refers to what happens to a range of wavelengths. It means the different wavelengths are spread out, producing a spectrum under the right circumstances. Secondly, the 'obstacle' has to be transparent, so the waves pass from one medium to another. More properly, light hits the boundary between two transparent media (e.g. air and glass), and it is refracted(bent) as it enters the glass block. Shorter wavelengths are refracted more, so the beam is spread out, or diffracted. The easy way to remember this is 'blue bends best'.

What happens to a beam of light once it hits water?

The incident ray (the incoming light) hits the water and then the speed is slowed. It is called 'Refraction'. Which is the bending of light through a translucent or transparent object.

What happens when light hits a transparent material?

Even though you can see through a material..i.e. it is transparent...it may have color and a physicist will want to know this information. What type of light is hitting this material is important to include in your question as well as the type of transparent material. What type of light? (and the strength ...source would be great) What type of material? What color is the material? Answer: It allows light to pass through a material
