What is the consensus model of how we see objects?

Back

The consensus model suggests that we see objects based on how they interact with light, including reflection, refraction, and transmission.

How do transparent and translucent objects affect light?

Back

Transparent objects allow most light to pass through, while translucent objects transmit some light but scatter it, making objects behind them less clear.

What is the role of scattering in seeing objects through a window?

Back

Scattering allows some light from the object (like a tree) to pass through the window and reach our eyes, enabling us to see the object.

What is a disadvantage of using steam to generate electricity?

Back

Disadvantages include the need for significant water resources and potential environmental impacts, but equal access to sunshine and water is not a disadvantage.

How does light behave when it hits glass?

Back

Light can be reflected, refracted, or transmitted when it hits glass, depending on the angle and properties of the glass.

What happens to light when it reflects off a smooth surface?

Back

Light reflects off a smooth surface at the same angle at which it hits the surface, following the law of reflection.

How does light behave when it hits a rough surface?

Back

When light hits a rough surface, it scatters in multiple directions, resulting in diffuse reflection.

What is the difference between reflection and refraction of light?

Back

Reflection is the bouncing back of light from a surface, while refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another.

What is the significance of the angle of incidence in reflection?

Back

The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, which is a fundamental principle of how light behaves when it reflects off surfaces.

What are the properties of light that affect how we see objects?

Back

The properties include reflection, refraction, transmission, and scattering, which determine how light interacts with different materials.
