Which surface are light rays reflected?
Any opaque or translucent surface will reflect light rays. The rays that are reflected are the one that you see- something blue would reflect blue light. IF the object is Opaque the rest of the light is absorbed. If it is translucent some light is absorbed while some passes through. Black objects absorb all colours of light while white objects reflects all colours of light. There are also some special objects such as mirrors that are highly reflective a produce an image by reflecting back the rays of light emitted from other objects.
Matter that does not transmit any light is what?
Opaque Materials, such as wood or steel, do not transmit light, accept in the case of a few Physicists, today, claiming that they have, in fact, transmitted light rays through different "holes" in different kinds of opaque materials.
What word describes a materail that does not let light through?
A material that will not allow the transmission of light is called an opaque material.
What is a smooth surface that reflects light to form a image?
a mirror
What is material that doesn't allow light to pass through?
My guess would be a wall. But, I'm not a Scientist. Hope this helped. I think the correct answer is OPAQUE. An opaque surface will reflect some of the light and absorb the rest, a reflective surface will absorb some of the light and reflect the rest, either will prevent light from passing through. A black hole will absorb all light and reflect nothing, this also prevents light passing through.
What are the essential condition for shadow formation?
a light surface; a surface; and an opaque object between the light source and the surface.
Does heat and light pass through opaque surfaces?
Light does not pass through an opaque surface. (That is the basic definition of "opaque"). Heat will be absorbed (or rather the energy of the impinging radiation - including the light) will heat the opaque surface and underlying substrate and this heat will be re-emitted (in all directions). So in a way the heat will "pass through" the opaque surface but it really is absorbed and sent back out later.
When does shadow appear?
A shadow appears when there is an interception of light rays,usually the sun,on a surface
When does a shadow appear?
A shadow appears when there is an interception of light rays,usually the sun,on a surface
When light strikes a blue opaque surface only blue light is?
... reflected, and perceived by passersby.
What do you know about shadow?
Shadow is a region of decreased illumination, caused by the interception of light coming from a point source (or something resembling a point source) by an opaque object.
How we get shadows?
Because something opaque comes between the light source and the surface onto which the light is falling.
What happens to light rays when they hit rough opaque objects?
When light rays hit rough opaque objects, such as a rough surface, they undergo diffuse reflection. This means that instead of reflecting off the surface at a single angle like with smooth surfaces, the light rays are scattered in various directions due to the uneven nature of the surface. As a result, the surface appears matte or non-reflective.
Which surface are light rays reflected?
Any opaque or translucent surface will reflect light rays. The rays that are reflected are the one that you see- something blue would reflect blue light. IF the object is Opaque the rest of the light is absorbed. If it is translucent some light is absorbed while some passes through. Black objects absorb all colours of light while white objects reflects all colours of light. There are also some special objects such as mirrors that are highly reflective a produce an image by reflecting back the rays of light emitted from other objects.
When a ray of white light hits an opaque surface with red orange yellow green and violet what colors will the surface appear?
The surface will appear white.
Why doesn't a colored opaque object reflect a one color image?
Because most of them aren't shiny. Those that are do sort of reflect a monochromatic image; look at a glass Christmas ornament sometime. You only get reflections when the object is smooth enough; if there are small imperfections in the surface, the light gets scattered every which way and there's no image.
How light travels when it hits a mirror?
it reflects back since mirror is a opaque surface .this phenomenon of bouncing back of light is called reflection.
