What happens when light is reflected?
Reflections occur when light bounces of a smooth and shiny surface. Glass mirrors have a thin layer of silver on the back so that light is reflected.
What happens when light bounces off an objects?
Reflection happens when light bounces of an object.
What does a prism do in a periscope?
it bounces the light from the mirrors so that the light is bounced into the persons eye
What creates an image that appears behide the mirror as light bounces back and forth between the mirror and the object being reflected?
This would be plane mirrors.
How many images of a candle will be formed if it is is placed between two parallel mirrors separated by 40 cm?
In theory, there should be an infinite number. In practice, though, the quality of the mirrors - the reflective surfaces as well as the glass in front of them - will reduce that number. The separation between the mirrors will also play a role by dispersing light as it bounces back and forth between the mirrors.
What happens to the light when it strike a medium?
Light ray bounces back
What happens to light when driving on wet roads?
the light bounces of the water
If light from an object bounces of two flat mirrors before it enters your eye the image you see is?
Not reversed.
Why there are infinite images in parallel mirrors?
Technically speaking, it is actually quite finite. since light does not move instantaniously, the number of images you can see in the mirrors is limited by the speed of light However the speed of light is so great you would not notice this. the reason it appears to be infinite reflections in the mirrors is because the light bounces off a surface and keeps bouncing in between the mirrors infinitely it's a physical "optical" paradox.
Reflection is when light what?
Reflections occur when light bounces of a smooth and shiny surface. Glass mirrors have a thin layer of silver on the back so that light is reflected.
Can light pass through air?
Yes light can pass through air because when light bounces off mirrors in the process passes through air.
What happens when light hits objects?
it bounces!! like a bouncy ball!
