I know this is probably a stupid one here.. But like, isn’t light just photons bouncing around? My lightbulb is firing these photons out when it’s switched on but presumably it’s not sucking them back in when it’s off?
So where da light go?
Also shouldn’t it get brighter the longer the light source is on as there’s more photons?
Where are they all going?
In: Physics
It goes into everything that you can see. Anything black absorbs nearly all light that hits it, anything red absorbs all light except red light, etc. Even white things and mirrors, that mostly reflect light, absorb a small amount. This means that almost immediately after light stops being emitted, it is absorbed into your room.
