Q

What Is A Diffuse Reflection & Why Do We See Them

A

A reflection that occurs when light bounces off an object at different angles. The result is a fuzzy image. (Rough Surface)

Q

Why Does A Green Shirt Appear Green Under White Light? What is Happening To The Light?

A

We see certain colors because the color we see is being reflected and all of the other colors are being absorbed. We see green because all of the colors of the spectrum are being absorbed, except for green. Green is being reflected.

17
Q

What Happens When Light Hits A Prism

A

Light is refracted

18
Q

How Does White Light Behave When Hitting Something White Compared To Something Black?

A

White: Light is reflected; stays cooler
Black: Light is absorbed; creates heat

19
Q

How Do Filters Affect The Light We See?

A

Objects can appear to change color if you view them in different color light

20
Q

What Happens If You Shine A Red Light On A Green Apple?

A

The green apple appears black in red light because it absorbs all of the available light
