The angle at which it strikes the surface.
A shiny surface.
The temperature
The lighting conditions
What determines how a ball will bounce off a surface?
Yes,  they do.
Although they know alot of reflection they typically do not use the principles....
No
Do pool players use the principles of reflection to get a ball to go to a certain place?
they are reflected back.
The light rays are reflected back.
they stop in the surface
They get absorbed
they go through the surface
What happens after light rays strike a reflecting surface?
The angle can indicate how the light will bounce off the surface.
How the light will bounce off.
how much the light will shine
It says how shiny the object is.
When light hits the surface at an angle, what can the angle indicate?
They need to know about reflection
Knowledge of reflection enables the pool player to hit the ball at a certain angle in order to go to a certain place.
The knowlege and patience to strike the pool ball at certain spot.
They need to know about swimming.
they need to know how to strike a ball in soccer
What information is useful to pool players when they strike a ball?
For the surface to be shiny.
A strong and sturdy surface.
the surface needs many angles
The light has to be powertful enough
What is needed for light to bounce off a surface?
Pool
Swimming
basketball
Swimming in a pool
What sport relies on knowledge of reflection?
Light.
Pool table
Pool water
Shiny objects
What can bounce off a surface similar to a ball?
You can predict the angle of the reflected light. They need it to go to a certain place. They know the angle it will hit the side of the pool table.
They can know the angle the ball will hit the side of the pool table
they can know the best position for them to play
They know how fast to hit the ball.
They need it before swimming in a pool.
How does knowledge of reflection help pool players?
The surface is shiny on the area being used to judge the reflection.
A soft and blurry surface can lead to a good reflection.
The knowledge of ball sizes could help.
The knowledge of friction could help.
What has to be true in order to use a knowledge of reflection to help in sports?
It depends on how the light initially strikes the shiny object. Light does not always go straight toward a surface. Therefore, not all light bounces straight back.
because light can disapear after some time.
Why doesn't all light bounce straight back when reflected off of a surface?
pool players
People who engage in many sports.
All the people in sports.
basketball players
Swimming players
What type of people know alot about reflection?
Light rays strike a reflecting surface. They are then reflected back. You can predict the angle of the reflected light. Imagine a ball bouncing off a surface. Light can do the same thing. That is, assuming the surface is shiny. So how do you know where light will go after it strikes a shiny surface? It depends on how the light initially strikes the shiny object. Light does not always go straight toward a surface. Therefore, not all light bounces straight back. Sometimes, light can hit a surface at an angle. The angle at which it strikes the surface tells us how it will bounce off. While light is different to a ball, they react in a similar manner. Many sports rely on knowledge of reflection. Pool players know a lot about reflection. They take great care when they strike the pool ball. They need it to go to a certain place. They know the angle it will hit the side of the pool table.
