How does light interact with different materials?

Can you explain how light interacts with different materials?

Sure! Light can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed depending on the material it encounters.

What happens when light hits a mirror?

When light hits a mirror, it reflects off the surface, allowing us to see our image.

And what about glass? How does light behave with it?

Light passes through glass but bends at the surface, a process called refraction.

Are there materials that absorb light completely?

Yes, materials like black paint absorb most of the light that hits them, converting it to heat.

What about colors? How do they affect light interaction?

Colors affect light interaction by determining which wavelengths are absorbed and which are reflected, influencing our perception.
