By calling it a "white surface", you've already described what happens. A large
fraction of the light, regardless of its wavelength, reflects from the surface, and
very little of it, regardless of its wavelength, is absorbed. If any of this were
appreciably different, then the surface would not be white.
What else can I help you with?
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 hapends when light hits a white surface?
When light hits a white surface, all the wavelengths of light are reflected off the surface uniformly, resulting in the surface appearing white to our eyes. This is because white surfaces reflect all visible wavelengths of light.
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.
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.
What happens to the colors of light when white light hits an object?
When white light hits an object, the object absorbs certain colors of light and reflects others. The colors that are reflected off the object are what we perceive as the color of the object.
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 hapends when light hits a white surface?
When light hits a white surface, all the wavelengths of light are reflected off the surface uniformly, resulting in the surface appearing white to our eyes. This is because white surfaces reflect all visible wavelengths of light.
What happens when light hits a rough surface?
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
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)
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 sunlight hits a surface?
The sunlight will be absorbed by the surface.If the surface is a mirror,lesser light will be absorbed.More will be reflected. If the surface is black,more light will be absorbed.
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.

What is it called when light hits a surface that it cannot pass through?
There is no scientific term for what happens when light hits an opaque object I'm afraid to say.
What happens to the colors of light when white light hits an object?
When white light hits an object, the object absorbs certain colors of light and reflects others. The colors that are reflected off the object are what we perceive as the color of the object.
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.
