If you're peering into the heavens at night and you see a brief burst of light, it's possible that you've seen a satellite flare. The process by which the light gets to your eyes is shown in the picture below. Essentially, a reflective surface on the satellite redirects sunlight to Earth where you might be standing and looking up. What conclusion that can be made about light waves from this? Drag and drop the best conclusion into the box. DRAG & DROP THE ANSWER You wouldn't be able to see the reflected light because it will always be blocked by Earth's atmosphere. Light waves can travel through a vacuum and also through some mediums. Satellites could not reflect the sun's light to Earth's surface during the day. Light waves can travel freely through any vacuum or medium.
