If light did not reflect or refract, objects would appear dark and invisible, as there would be no way for light to bounce off their surfaces or change direction when passing through different mediums. This would make it nearly impossible to see, resulting in a world without vision and a complete lack of visual perception.
What else can I help you with?
Would wax paper reflect refract absorb or transmit light?
Wax paper is typically translucent, allowing some light to pass through while also diffusing it. Therefore, it primarily transmits light but also scatters it due to its semi-transparent nature.
Does eye reflect or refract the light?
The eye mainly refracts light. Light enters the eye through the cornea and is refracted by the lens to focus an image on the retina. The retina then converts the light into electrical signals that the brain interprets as visual information.
Would you expect that ultraviolet light would be reflected by a mirror?
No, ultraviolet light would not be reflected by a regular mirror, as most mirrors are designed to reflect visible light. Specialized mirrors designed to reflect ultraviolet light would be needed for reflection.
How do you stop light from reaching it destination?
To stop light from reaching its destination, you would need to block or obstruct the path that the light is traveling along. This can be done using objects that absorb, reflect, or refract light, creating a barrier that the light cannot pass through. Examples include opaque objects, walls, or materials with high opacity.
What is a scientific word for bounce off of?
The scientific term for bounce off of is "reflect."
Would rather reflect than refract light?
Mirrors and other shiny surfaces.
What does light refract?
everything does. theoretically the only thing that does not refract light would be something that is pure black, although it is doubtful it is physically possible to make something that does that.Additional answerI presume you mean balloons. I also think you might mean reflect rather than refract, because why would a balloon refract light?

Why would a chip in a glass block cause light to refract differently?
It would cause light to refract differently because the angle at which the light hits the glass block would alter and there for the way the light refracts would also alter.
What item would most likely refract light?
your head
Does the earth refract light?
no because if it refracted then it would look bigger

Does diamond shine in night because it has high density?
No. Diamonds reflect any available light, including moonlight, starlight and other ambient light. If you were deep within a cave without light -- in absolute darkness -- your diamond would not shine.
What kind of mineral reflects light?
I think your question needs to be more specific, because everything visible, reflects light. If an object reflected no light, it would be invisible to us. Did you mean to ask which minerals are metallic and shiny, or which are transparent and able to be cut and faceted, like gems?
Can watches reflect light?
Yes. Watches reflect light. If they did not they would either appear clear or completely black.
Would a black microscopically flat or smooth object reflect light?
A flat object would reflect light but it depends on what sort of flat object is it.
