When a substance is made of particles whose size is on the order of the size

of light wavelengths that substance will cause the light to scatter, resulting

in distortion of light that penetrates it. Thus light is transmitted but the

material is not transparent. For example, add a few drops of milk to water or

compare old, crazed, glass with new glass.

What is an example of an illuminated object?

An example of an illuminated object is a light bulb. When turned on, a light bulb emits light, making it an illuminated object.


What is the difference between a luminous objects and a illuminated object?

An illuminated object reflects light that came from somewhere else. A luminous object emitts its own light.


What is illuminated object?

An illuminated object is an object upon which electromagnetic radiation from some source is falling. We usually think of "illumination" in terms of light, but it's actually a broader concept. When an airplane is being examined by ground radar, they say that the radar is "illuminating" the target.


Is a light bulb luminous ojbect or an illuminated object?

A light bulb is a luminous object because it produces its own light through the process of converting electrical energy into light energy. An illuminated object is one that reflects light from another source.


Explain briefly why an object which appears yellow in daylight appears red when illuminated with red light and red when illuminated with magenta light?

The color of an object depends on the wavelengths of light that it reflects. When an object appears yellow in daylight, it reflects mostly yellow light. When illuminated with red light, which contains only red wavelengths, the object reflects primarily red light, making it appear red. When illuminated with magenta light, which contains red and blue wavelengths, the object absorbs the blue light and reflects only the red, appearing red.

Is the moon an illuminated object?

The Moon is illuminated by the Sun. At full moon, we see the bright part - the illuminated part. At new moon, we see mostly the dark part. (This part is also slightly visible, due to light reflected from the Earth.)

Is the sun an illuminated object?

Yes, the sun is an illuminated object. It emits its own light and energy through nuclear fusion processes happening in its core, making it one of the main sources of light and heat in our solar system.


Why does a blue object appear black when illuminated with light?

A blue object appears black when illuminated with light because it absorbs most of the light that hits it, including the blue light that gives it its color. This absorption of light prevents the object from reflecting enough light to appear blue, making it appear black instead.


Is light microscope illuminated only with sunlight?

Light microscopes can be illuminated with either natural or artificial light. Artificial light is often the best because it be put directly on the object magnified.
