Tag: path of light

We can only see objects when light reflected from the object falls on our eyes.

Light does not require a medium to propogate. Ex: The rays from the sun.

The object, that allows no light to pass through, is called Opaque.

The path along which light travels in a homogeneous medium is called a ray of light

Light is an electromagnetic wave which is transverse in nature. It does not require any material medium to pass through and can travel through vacuum.

Moon does not emit its own light. It reflects the light incident on it from the Sun. So, Moon is a non-luminous body.

Light is an electromagnetic wave which is transverse in nature. So, it does not require any material medium to pass through. Light, thus, can travel through vacuum.

A green leaf can only reflect green light, so when red light is incident on it, the leaf will not be able to reflect any light making it look black

Definition:- The path a traced by light is called a ray of light. 

Irregular reflection makes us see all the objects and everything around us. If light gets regularly reflected then every object would act like a mirror and our surroundings would be illuminated. This would have a blinding effect on eyes making it harder for us to see.
