What is a change in direction that occurs when light ray bounces off of a surface?
The change in direction that occurs when a light ray bounces off of a surface is called reflection. Reflection is determined by the angle of incidence (angle at which the light ray hits the surface) and the angle of reflection (angle at which the light ray bounces off the surface).
When light bounces straight off a surface you say that it is refracted?
Actually, when light bounces straight off a surface, we say that it is reflected, not refracted. Refraction occurs when light passes through a medium and changes speed, causing it to bend.
Reflection occurs when light strikes and then?
When the light waves strikes an object and bounces off
What represents the light that bounces off of the surface?
The light that bounces off of a surface is called reflected light. When light hits a surface, some of it is absorbed, and the remaining light waves bounce off in different directions, creating reflection.
When light bounces is it absorbed?
When light bounces off a surface, it is not absorbed by the surface unless the material is specifically designed to absorb light, such as in solar panels. Instead, the light reflects off the surface, which allows us to see objects and colors.
What type of reflection occurs when light bounces off of a SMOOTH surface such as a mirror?
Specular reflection occurs when light bounces off of a smooth surface such as a mirror!
What is a change in direction that occurs when light ray bounces off of a surface?
The change in direction that occurs when a light ray bounces off of a surface is called reflection. Reflection is determined by the angle of incidence (angle at which the light ray hits the surface) and the angle of reflection (angle at which the light ray bounces off the surface).
What colors are there when light bounces off a surface?
Any light that bounces off of the surface is the same color as it was when it hit the surface.
When light bounces straight off a surface you say that it is refracted?

When light bounces off a surface the surface is?
Regular reflection.
When light bounces is it absorbed?
When light bounces off a surface, it is not absorbed by the surface unless the material is specifically designed to absorb light, such as in solar panels. Instead, the light reflects off the surface, which allows us to see objects and colors.
What process occur when light bounces off a smooth shiny surface?
When light bounces off a smooth, shiny surface, the process that occurs is reflection. The light waves bounce off the surface at the same angle they hit it, creating a clear reflection of the light source. This process is responsible for our ability to see our own reflection in mirrors and other shiny surfaces.
What describes when light bounces off a surface?
When light bounces off a surface, it undergoes reflection. The angle of incidence (angle at which light strikes the surface) is equal to the angle of reflection (angle at which light bounces off the surface). The Law of Reflection governs this interaction between light and surfaces.
When light bounces off of a shiny surface what is it said to be?
When light bounces of a shiny surface, such as a mirror, this is called specular reflection.(Diffuse reflection is when light bounces of a rough surface, such as a wall. You can tell it's a rough surface because you can't see your reflection.)
What is bouncing of light from a surface?
Bouncing of light from a surface refers to the phenomena of reflection, where light rays striking a surface are redirected back into the medium they came from. This reflection occurs due to the smoothness and the angle of the surface.
