Why do shiny surface do not absorb light?
Shiny surfaces do not absorb light because they have a smooth surface that reflects most of the light that hits them. This reflection prevents the light from being absorbed into the material, giving it a shiny appearance.
What occurs when light hits a bumpy or rough surface?
When light hits a bumpy or rough surface, it gets scattered in different directions because the surface features disrupt the regular reflection pattern. This scattering of light creates a diffuse reflection, resulting in the surface appearing matte or non-shiny.
Does specular reflection occur when it hits a dull surface?
No, specular reflection occurs when light hits a smooth and shiny surface, such as a mirror. On the other hand, dull surfaces scatter light in different directions, which is known as diffuse reflection.
What happens when a wave hits a hard surface?
When a wave hits a hard surface, it reflects off the surface. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Some energy may also be absorbed by the surface, causing it to vibrate.
Does a spoon absorb light?
No, a spoon does not absorb light. It reflects and scatters light that hits its surface, allowing us to see its shiny appearance.
What happens to sunlight hits earth surface?
It gets absorbed by the surface, reflected, and even radiated back as infrared rays where it is absorbed by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
How does light interact with shiny metal?
It reflects the light, that is how the surface seems shiny.When light hits a shiny surface it is reflected and is sometimes bent.
Why does light change direction when it hits things?
Light changes direction when it hits a shiny surface
Why do shiny surface do not absorb light?
Shiny surfaces do not absorb light because they have a smooth surface that reflects most of the light that hits them. This reflection prevents the light from being absorbed into the material, giving it a shiny appearance.
Why do a pair of metal scissors appear shiny?
A pair of metal scissors appear shiny due to the smooth surface of the metal reflecting light in a uniform manner. When light hits the metal surface, it reflects off the smooth surface without scattering, creating a shiny appearance. The shininess of the scissors is a result of the reflection of light waves off the metal surface, giving it a polished and reflective look.
What happens when light hits a rough surface?
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
What happens to the sunlight that hits the surface of the Earth?
Sunlight that hits the Earth's surface is absorbed by the Earth. It is then reflected back.
Is glass shiny or dull?
Most glass is shiny but can be made to look dull.
What happens when you use shiny objects to reflect light onto the screen?
Some of the light is scattered on its journey to the screen. When the light hits the screen, some of it is reflected from the surface. The rest is refracted through the material of the screen. What happens then depends on screen and what is on its other side.
What happens when hits a black surface?
im assuming that u meant "what happens when LIGHT hits a black surface?" the reason for this is that the black surface ABSORBS the light, and so none of the light waves can be reflected back (which is what makes it look black)
What occurs when light hits a bumpy or rough surface?
When light hits a bumpy or rough surface, it gets scattered in different directions because the surface features disrupt the regular reflection pattern. This scattering of light creates a diffuse reflection, resulting in the surface appearing matte or non-shiny.
