Frequency is the parameter of light which doesnt change on reflection because it is the ratio of velocity of light in medium and wavelength of the particle.Hence,when velocity increases wavelength also increases and when velocity decreases wavelength also decreases but its ratio always remains constant.

When you stare at a shiny objects the reflection of light doesnt go away how can you stop it?

turn the light off


Example of evidence that frequency of light does not change upon reflection?

When light is reflected off a mirror, the frequency of the light does not change because reflection is a process that does not alter the properties of the light wave. The frequency of light corresponds to its color, and when we see our reflection in a mirror, we observe the same color that was emitted towards the mirror.


When light is reflected does the direction of the light wave change?

Yes, the light wave goes in the direction of the angle or reflection.


How is reflection of light different from refraction of light?

Reflection involves the bouncing back of light when it hits a surface, following the law of reflection that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Refraction, on the other hand, is the change in direction of light when it passes from one medium to another, caused by the change in speed of light.


What is reflection for light?

A shining or polished surface changes the direction of light.This change in direction is called reflection of light.


Does reflection change the speed?

i think it can be the reflection off the trees that gets to the car


When light bounces off the surface of an object the light is in a different direction?

Yes, when light bounces off the surface of an object, it undergoes reflection which results in a change in the direction of the light. This change in direction is determined by the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection, according to the law of reflection.


What interaction of light with matter cause light to change?

Reflection, refraction, absorption.


What is the meaning of reflection and refraction?

Reflection is the bouncing back of light or sound waves when they hit a surface, changing direction but not entering the surface. Refraction is the bending of light waves as they pass from one medium to another medium with a different density, causing a change in speed and direction.


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 happens when there is reflection in light waves?

That means that the light waves rebound, and change direction.


What happens to the reflected ray of light when the screen is titled?

When the screen is tilted, the angle of reflection of the light ray will change in accordance with the law of reflection. The angle of reflection will be equal to the angle of incidence.
