What happens when light hits the surface of an object an angle?
When light hits the surface of an object at an angle, it can be reflected (bounced off), refracted (bent), or absorbed by the object. The amount of light that is reflected or refracted depends on the surface properties of the object, such as smoothness and transparency.
Is light reflected or refracted when it passes through a transparent medium?
Light can be both reflected and refracted when it passes through a transparent medium. Reflection occurs when light bounces off the surface of the medium, while refraction happens when light changes direction as it moves through the medium.
What happens to light if it is not reflected off an object?
If light is not reflected off an object, it can be absorbed by the object, transmitted through it, or refracted within it. The specific interaction will depend on the properties of the object and the nature of the light.
What happens when a ray of light strikes a flat water surface?
Whenever light hits a water surface, some of the light is reflected off, and some of it is refracted, or "bent", deeper into the water. The proportion that is reflected and refracted depends on the wavelength of the light and the angle of incidence. When light goes straight down into the water, most of it penetrates the surface and goes into the water. When the light impacts at an angle, more of the light is reflected away.
What happens to light that enters the water?
When light enters water, it can be absorbed, reflected, or refracted. Some light is absorbed by the water molecules, causing it to heat up. Other light can be reflected back at the surface if the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. Finally, light can be refracted as it changes speed while passing from air to water, causing it to change direction.
What happens to light rays when they hit an object?
They are reflected or absorbed. nope.. they are Refracted
What happens to light when its strikes an object?
The light waves can be reflected, absorbed, they can pass the object or be refracted.,
What happens when white light strikes an object?
Depending on the object, it may be reflected, absorbed, refracted or internally reflected.
How will you compare prism to raindrops?
Light is refracted and reflected by a (glass) prism Light is refracted and reflected by a raindrop
What happens when light hits the surface of an object an angle?

Is light reflected or refracted when it passes through a transparent medium?
Light can be both reflected and refracted when it passes through a transparent medium. Reflection occurs when light bounces off the surface of the medium, while refraction happens when light changes direction as it moves through the medium.
When light goes through a camera lens is it reflected or refracted?
It would be refracted.
What happens to light if it is not reflected off an object?
If light is not reflected off an object, it can be absorbed by the object, transmitted through it, or refracted within it. The specific interaction will depend on the properties of the object and the nature of the light.
When light is reflected or refracted it does what?
It bounces in a different direction
What happens when a ray of light strikes a flat water surface?

The proportion that is reflected and refracted depends on the wavelength of the light and the angle of incidence. When light goes straight down into the water, most of it penetrates the surface and goes into the water. When the light impacts at an angle, more of the light is reflected away.
What word describes stopping light so that it is not reflected or refracted?
When light is stopped it is normally said that absorption has taken place. Opaque objects normally absorb light and thus it does not get reflected or refracted.
What will happen to light that are not absorb?
Light that is not absorbed is either reflected, refracted, or transmitted.
