Light like other electromagnetic radiation can travel through some objects and can bounce off of others. The universe is filled with electromagnetic waves, each wave has a different frequency and a different wave-length. All electromagnetic...

When light hits an object, some of the light spectrum is absorbed and some is reflected. The colour you see is the reflected light. The rest is absorbed. For example a red T shirt will absorb all the colours in the light spectrum a nd reflect red.

This learning activity, from the book Be a Scientist: Light, helps students discover the physics of reflected light. Students will use three mirrors to follow a path of light, then use one mirror and plot the angle of reflection on a piece of paper. ... What happens when light hits an object that it can't pass through?

Light is a type of energy known as electromagnetic radiation. It is given out by hot objects such as the Sun, light bulbs, and LASERS. When light hits ... Light rays reflect (bounce) off objects. The Moon shines because it reflects light from the Sun. Smooth surfaces, such as mirrors, reflect light in one direction.

thus, we can only see them when light from another source reflects off of them, and hits our eyes. Understanding how light waves reflect off objects allows us to understand how we see things the way we do. Luckily, there are just a few simple rules that describe how reflcted light behaves.

Having no magnetic properties makes it much easier to cloak objects in the visible range but also causes a small amount of light to reflect off of the cloaked object.

Centuries ago, the ancient Greeks thought that vision was the result of rays coming out of the eyes and “touching” the objects in front of them. Today we know that light waves reflect off objects into the eye, stimulating nerve endings that eventually lead to and are interpreted by the brain.

Why does light reflect? We see objects by the light reflected off of them. Can anyone explain on a molecular/atomic/sub-atomic level what the mechanism is that makes a light wave "bounce" off of an object? posted by jsonic to science & nature (9 comments total)
