Properties of Light

What happens when light strikes an object? absorbed: transferred to the object (mainly as heat) reflected: it bounces off (such as with a mirror) transmitted: goes through (such as with glass) More about Light

Objects are classified by what they do to light: opaque: Does not allow light to pass through. All light is either absorbed or reflected. translucent: Can be seen through, but not clearly. Allows some light to go through, but some is also absorbed or reflected. (such as waxed paper) transparent: Allows almost all light to go through, so can be seen through clearly. (such as window glass) Light & Objects

Two types of reflection are: regular: When an object surface is smooth, and you see an image. Example: a plane (flat) mirror diffuse: When a rough surface scatters light in many directions, and no image appears. Example: paper is rough enough to scatter light so there is no image Light and Reflection

Light slows down as it goes from space to air. It slows down even more in water and glass. Why? The atoms get in the way. Light and Refraction
