Light entering a diamond can be reflected off its surfaces (internal or external) or refracted as it passes through the diamond due to its high refractive index. The unique internal structure of a diamond causes light to bounce off its facets multiple times, resulting in its characteristic brilliance and sparkle. White light entering a diamond can also split into its spectral colors due to the dispersion property of the diamond.

What happens to light if it is neither reflected nor refracted?
If light is neither reflected nor refracted, it will be absorbed by the object it encounters. This absorption of light energy can result in the object heating up.
When light travels through a pair of eyeglasses is it reflected or refracted?
Refracted. Light passing through is refracted, light bouncing off of is reflected.
What is the place at which rays of light meet or appear to meet after being reflected or refracted by a mirror or lens?
The point at which rays of light converge or appear to converge after being reflected or refracted by a mirror or lens is called the focal point.
What happens when light hits the surface of an object an angle?
When light hits the surface of an object at an angle, it can be reflected (bounced off), refracted (bent), or absorbed by the object. The amount of light that is reflected or refracted depends on the surface properties of the object, such as smoothness and transparency.
What is the difference between reflected rays of light and refracted rays?
Reflected rays of light bounce off a surface at the same angle they hit it, while refracted rays of light bend as they pass from one medium to another. Refraction occurs when light changes speed as it moves from one medium to another, causing it to change direction.
How will you compare prism to raindrops?
Light is refracted and reflected by a (glass) prism Light is refracted and reflected by a raindrop
When light goes through a camera lens is it reflected or refracted?
It would be refracted.
When light is reflected or refracted it does what?
It bounces in a different direction
What happens to light if it is neither reflected nor refracted?
If light is neither reflected nor refracted, it will be absorbed by the object it encounters. This absorption of light energy can result in the object heating up.
What word describes stopping light so that it is not reflected or refracted?
When light is stopped it is normally said that absorption has taken place. Opaque objects normally absorb light and thus it does not get reflected or refracted.
What will happen to light that are not absorb?
Light that is not absorbed is either reflected, refracted, or transmitted.
What is happening to light when it is being reflected?
The light bends. Depending on whether it is a concave or convex mirror, the light is either being refracted or reflected
What happens to light when its strikes an object?
The light waves can be reflected, absorbed, they can pass the object or be refracted.,
When light travels through a pair of eyeglasses is it reflected or refracted?
Refracted. Light passing through is refracted, light bouncing off of is reflected.
What happens when white light strikes an object?
Depending on the object, it may be reflected, absorbed, refracted or internally reflected.
What happens to light rays when they hit an object?
They are reflected or absorbed. nope.. they are Refracted
What three things that light can do when it interacts with matter?
It can be: -absorbed -reflected -refracted (scattered)
