When a ray of light hits a surface two things will happen to the light. What are they?
When a ray of light hits a surface, two things can happen: reflection, where the light bounces back off the surface, and refraction, where the light enters the material and changes direction.
What happens to light when it hits a surface?
When light hits a surface, three things can happen: it can be absorbed by the surface, reflected off the surface, or transmitted through the surface. The amount of light that is absorbed, reflected, or transmitted depends on the properties of the surface material.
What will happen if the light hits a plane surface and a rough surface?
If the light hits a plane surface, regular reflection will take place and if light hits a rough surface, diffused (irregular) reflection will take place. Here is a diagram for both. Diffused (irregular) Regular
When light hits a material what are three things that can happen?
When light hits a material, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the material. Absorption results in the light energy being converted to other forms of energy, such as heat. Reflection involves the light bouncing off the surface of the material. Transmission is when the light passes through the material.
What happen to the rays as it hits the surface of the mirror?
When light rays hit the surface of a mirror, they are reflected back at the same angle they hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the light ray is reflected off the mirror).

What happen to light when it hits the surface of a curved mirror?
It is reflected.
Why does light change direction when it hits things?
Light changes direction when it hits a shiny surface

What happens when light hits a rough surface?
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
What happen when light hits a flat surface?
-- Part of the light is transmitted through the surface. -- Part of the light is absorbed by the surface material. -- The remainder is reflected away from the surface, at the same angle relative to the normal direction as the angle from which it arrived. The polarization of the E-field is also inverted relative to the incident light.
What happen to the rays as it hits the surface of the mirror?
When light rays hit the surface of a mirror, they are reflected back at the same angle they hit the mirror. This is known as the law of reflection. The angle of incidence (the angle at which the light ray hits the mirror) is equal to the angle of reflection (the angle at which the light ray is reflected off the mirror).
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.
When light bounces off a mirror what happen to it?
When light hits a mirror, it reflects off the surface at an equal but opposite angle to the angle at which it hit the mirror. This results in a clear and specular reflection.
What 4 things happen to light when it hits an object?
it can be transmitted, reflected, refracted or diffused. In most cases, some combination of these occurs.
