What angle does light travel along that causes bending in refraction?

Bending of light as it passes through water?

Yes, light bends as it enters water. This is known as refraction of light. It is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in it's speed. Water has an index of refraction of 1.333 and air has an index of refraction of 1.From Wikipedia:In optics, refraction occurs when light waves travel from a medium with a given refractive index to a medium with another. At the boundary between the media, the wave's phase velocity is altered, usually causing a change in direction. Its wavelength increases or decreases but its frequency remains constant. For example, a light ray will refract as it enters and leaves glass, assuming there is a change in refractive index. A ray traveling along the normal (perpendicular to the boundary) will change speed, but not direction.

Why can the refracted ray can also be the incident ray?

It only happens when the incident ray is shone at 90 degrees. The refracted ray will then travel along the same path as the incident ray. This is known as total internal refraction.

Where in the eye does the refraction take place?

light passes trough the cornea then through the pupil and opening created by the iris, then the light passes through the lens, then travels along the aqueous humerous then arrives at the retina; the retina changes teh light into electrical impulses and send them trough the optic nerve then to the brain where an image is perceived.

What leads to earthquakes along a fault?

bending of the rocks followed by slipping...

What wave causes particles in matter to move back and forth along the same direction in which the waves travel?

A Compressional wave.

How does a car effect daily life?

It allows people to travel from place to place in a fraction of time. It also causes people to not realize their surroundings of nature along the way of travel.

How does refraction affect ocean wave action along the shore?

they spread out and expand less energy

Why bourdon tube is oval in shape?

Because it will provides maximum dflection in Only vertical direction and no any other bending of tube due to pressure occurs.instead if cross section is circular then along with vertical defletion or bending of tube there is also bending along horizaotal direction,which leads to error.so it has oval shape............got it

What is point of contraflecture?

The term "point of contraflexure" is often used in structural engineering, specifically in the context of analyzing and designing beams subjected to bending loads. In simple terms, the point of contraflexure is the location along the length of a beam where the bending moment is zero. When a beam is subjected to bending loads, it experiences tensile (positive) bending moments and compressive (negative) bending moments along its length. The bending moment varies along the beam, reaching a maximum at the points where the bending is the most significant. These points are usually located near the supports of the beam. However, in some cases, particularly in continuous beams or beams with complex loading conditions, there may be a section along the beam where the bending moment changes direction from positive to negative or vice versa. This section is known as the point of contraflexure. At the point of contraflexure, the bending moment is zero, and the beam's curvature changes direction. This point is essential in the analysis and design of structures as it affects the internal forces and stresses within the beam. Identifying the point of contraflexure is crucial for engineers to ensure the beam's stability and design it appropriately to handle the bending loads effectively. The bending moment diagram is used to visualize the variation of bending moments along the length of the beam and to locate the point of contraflexure if it exists.

What are the 2 conditions when the direction does not change on refraction?

-- Light approaches the boundary between any two media along the normal direction. -- Light approaches the boundary at any angle and the indexes of refraction of both media are equal.
