explain that light travels in a staight line until it stikes an object or travels from one medium to another (one object to another)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. Light can be reflected by a mirror, refracted by a lens, or absorbed by the object.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Light waves can superpose on one another, bend around corners, reflect off surfaces, be absorbed by materials they enter, and change direction when entering a new material.

The final answer would be: Light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. Light can be reflected by a mirror, refracted by a lens, or absorbed by the object. Light waves can superpose on one another, bend around corners, reflect off surfaces, be absorbed by materials they enter, and change direction when entering a new material.

I write the final

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh, ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know example about reflectedm refracted and absorbed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol example of reflected ,refracted and absorbed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me research quick.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Absorption. Light stops at the object and does not reflect or refract. Objects appear dark or opaque. Example: wood. Reflection on a smooth surface. Light bounces off the surface of a material at an angle equal to the angle of the incoming light wave. Example: mirrors or glass. Reflection on a rough surface (also called Scatter). Light waves bounce off at many of angles because the surface is uneven. Example: the earth (that’s why the sky is blue). Refraction Light goes through the object and bends at an angle. Example: diamond (greater angle) or water (lesser angle)
