What happens when light bounces off an object

Sagot :

Absorbtion consists of when light strikes on an object and bounces off. 


When light bounces off an object, it either gets absorbed, or reflected. For example, light can get absorbed on surfaces which are black in color and they can reflect from flat surfaces such as a mirror. It all matters on the angle of incidence. The angle of incidence is also known as the angle of reflection.

 Angle of reflection = Angle of incidence

The ray of light approaching the mirror is called the incident ray. The ray of light that leaves the mirror is called the reflected ray.
