Does light's Energy Decreases as it travels from air into water?

No the Energy of the light doesn't change when it passes through rarer to denser medium. Only Wavelength changes which cause change in its direction. Since Frequency is directly proportional to the Energy and frequency is constant during refraction therefore the energy also remain constant.

What kind of energy travels through water better than through air?
what kind of energy travels through water better than air
What kind of energy does water gain it travels down a waterfall?
Kinetic Energy.
When energy is transferred from the air to the water what happens to most of the energy?
Most of it will end up in the water It travels through the water.
When heat energy travels by convection energy is transferred by the circulation of heated material?
Yes, when heat travels by convection the energy is transferred by the circulation of a heated fluid, such as air or water.
What is the Difference between wave and tsunami?
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
Why light travels slower in water than in air?
Light travels slower in water than in air because when light enters the water medium, according to the collision theory, the particles of the water gets some of the light energy and displaces light from its real path. As the energy is absorbed, it is a fact that on decreasing the energy of anything, it will get much slower in performing that work. So light travels slower in water than in air.
What is the difference between tsunami - seismic wave?
A tsunami wave is a wave of energy that travels through water, while a seismic wave is a wave of energy that travels through earth.
When ammonium chloride dissolves in a beaker of water the beaker becomes cold to the touch explain this phenomenon?
When the ammonium chloride dissolves in the water, it is an endothermic reaction. The energy for the reaction comes from the water. Since the water is losing energy, the temperature of the solution decreases, which in turn decreases the temperature of the beaker because of heat transfer.
What is the disturbance that travels in water waves?
it is the momentum or energy which is imparted from one wave to another
When water freezes does the thermal energy increases or decreases?
It decreases, it is less dense.A2.Any body can only pass thermal energy on to another body if the first is at a higher temperature than the second. Therefore when a body cools it has less potential to pass energy to another one. In addition, when water freezes it releases latent heat to the atmosphere (which of course must be colder than the freezing water), so that is another reduction in it's potential thermal energy.
How does wind start a wave?
As wind travels across the water's surface, it pushes against the water and energy in the wind is absorbed by the water.
How does running water make electricity?
Moving water can be used to produce energy because potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy. Stored water is converted into kinetic energy. As the water travels, it is converted into electrical energy thus being used for electricity.
