What happens when light hits an object? The light is reflected off the object.
We blue because blue is reflected; white because all colors are reflected.
The light that hits an object is called the angle of incidence. The light that bounces off the object is called the angle of reflection.
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection Molecular Expressions
This is called the law of reflection. Molecular Expressions
When light passes thru transparent objects (water, glass, etc.), the light is refracted (bent).
When light travels thru a prism, the refraction forms the spectrum. DiscoveryEducation Clipart
The spectrum is the colors of the rainbow… DiscoveryEducation Clipart
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet (ROY G. BIV). DiscoveryEducation Clipart
If the object is translucent, light is diffused as it passes through it. Designbuild-Network.com
If the object is opaque, the light will not pass thru the object and is reflected.
