This property is known as refraction. It applies to any type of waves. the angle of refraction is determined by Snell's Law: sin i/ sin r = refraction index

When do waves bend traveling through a medium?
The bending of a wave occurs when the wave hits a object?
How does density change between the different layers of earth?
The deeper you get into the earth, the more weight you have above you. This results in pressure that increases the density of the material below.
What is the effect of shape on the density of samples of the same material?
it has no effect. density of a substance is the same no matter the size or shape of the sample.
How do you make a shade cloth?
First you have to prepare the warp of the material this will give it its density and patern length wise . then it has to be woven, that is placing the material with wire.
In order to complete a convection current the rising material must eventually?
Cool enough to increase in density and sink.
The bending of light when it goes from air into gelatin is called?
Refraction ( the bending of light as it passes from a one transparent material to another with a different density)
The bending of a light ray as it passes from one substance to another one with a different density?
Refraction
If two objects are the same size will they have the same mass?
No, they will not, unless they are the same material. Every material has a different density, and mass = density x volume
Why does sound travel at different speeds through different mediums?
because of material density
What word tells the Amount of material that makes up something?
Density is the amount of material which will make up something. Density can be varied accordingly to make items of the same material, but for different uses.
What is the the density of a mineral?
Density is defined as mass per unit volume: This is the density of any material, including minerals. There a a great many minerals each with a different density.
How is wave and velocity related?
Because of bending of any wave, such as a light or sound wave, when it passes from one medium into another of different optical density.
How do you convert cm3 to gram?
You have to know the density of the material in order to convert its mass (grammes) to its volume (cm3).
When do waves bend traveling through a medium?
The bending of a wave occurs when the wave hits a object?
What can you infer about the density of a material if a sampleof it floats in water?
That the material's density is less than the density of water.
What are the usefulness of density in identification of unknown substance?
Density is useful for identifying an unknown material because it is a physical constant. A physical constant is a unique characteristic of the material in question. This constant never change or vary with the shape or amount of the material/substance.
How many tons are in one container?
Different containers can hold different masses, and that depends on the volume of the container and the density of the material.
