This sounds so stupid but I’ve always wondered when you turn off the lights they immediately disappear (I know the light travels fast but where to ?? )
Does each light wave/particle go from its source to disappear continuously?
(The more I write the stupider it sounds sorry)
In: Physics
It’s a good question, when light hits something(a wall for example) a part of it is absorbed (into heat) and a part is reflected(which is why you see the wall) when you shutoff the light it bounces around while being absorbed each time until it’s all absorbed, also this happens so fast that it’s basically instantaneous.
