Can opaque substances refract light?
No, opaque substances can NOT refract light. It is impossible to refract light if it is blocking it's path.
Does clear glass refract light?
Clear glass does refract light when light passes from another medium like water to clear glass. But there is an exception. If the ray of light were to pass through water and hit the clear glass straight or at 90 Degrees to the surface, then clear glass does not refract the light.
How incident ray are refracted by a convex mirror?
A mirror does not refract light, it REFLECTS it.
The portion of a light ray that falls on a surface is?
The portion of a light ray that falls on a surface is incident ray.
How is light transmitted when it hits a surface?
The light is absorbed in the object but it mainly refract and the light changes direction.
Can opaque substances refract light?
No, opaque substances can NOT refract light. It is impossible to refract light if it is blocking it's path.
When a ray of white light hits an opaque surface with red orange yellow green and violet what colors will the surface appear?
The surface will appear white.
Is a mirror's surface opaque?
"opaque"
Is a mirror's surface transparenttranslucentor opaque?
"opaque"
Does clear glass refract light?
Clear glass does refract light when light passes from another medium like water to clear glass. But there is an exception. If the ray of light were to pass through water and hit the clear glass straight or at 90 Degrees to the surface, then clear glass does not refract the light.
What causes light to refract when it hits a piece of glass?
the light rays hit the piece of glass and the surface of the glass causes it to refract
How incident ray are refracted by a convex mirror?
A mirror does not refract light, it REFLECTS it.
Does heat and light pass through opaque surfaces?
Light does not pass through an opaque surface. (That is the basic definition of "opaque"). Heat will be absorbed (or rather the energy of the impinging radiation - including the light) will heat the opaque surface and underlying substrate and this heat will be re-emitted (in all directions). So in a way the heat will "pass through" the opaque surface but it really is absorbed and sent back out later.
What are the essential condition for shadow formation?
a light surface; a surface; and an opaque object between the light source and the surface.
Name the procedure in which a patient is given an X-ray-opaque drink so that a study can be made of the stomach and intestines?
Endoscopic evaluation of the lower GI tract. The "opaque" drink is barium, used for better X-ray visibility.
Is the sun opaque?
No. The body of the sun is ionized, thus opaque. In fact it takes about a million years for a photon to travel from the center to the surface.
When a light ray passes fro water to air?
it will to refract/bend because its passing from one medium to another
