The path of a light ray from glass into water?

Depends on the angle the light ray hits the water.


How does the speed of light compare in water glass and diamond?

Speed of light in vacuum = ' c '-- Speed of light in Air . . 99.97% of ' c '.-- in Water . . . . . . . . 75% of ' c '.-- in Crown Glass . . . 64.9%-- in Flint Glass . . . . . 61.7%-- in Diamond . . . . . . 41.3%


How refraction and dispersion demonstrated in light?

Using a glass of water, you can demonstrate both principles. 1. Place a spoon halfway submerged in the water. Note that when you look through the side surface of the water, the spoon appears to be bent, or disjointed, at the surface of the water. This is due to refraction of the light passing through the water to your eye. 2. Place the glass of water several inches in front of a white background. place a bright a light source in front of the glass/background. Note that the area behind the glass is not as brightly lit as the rest of the background. This is because the light passing the water is dispersed and fewer Photons/Area are hitting the background. That is to say, there is less light density behind the glass where the light was dispersed. Note that the opposite effect (brighter behind the glass) can occur, if the glass of water acts as a "Focusing lens" due to its shape!


Why microwaves are dangerous for us and visible light is not?

The degree of interaction between water and microwaves is much greater than that between the former and visible light. As such, microwaves heat up water while visible light does not -- visible either goes though water or bounces off it. Since our bodies consist of a lot of water, microwaves hitting us would cause us to heat up fairly rapidly -- exactly like food in a microwave oven. Getting cooked in a microwave oven is a LOT more dangerous than being illuminated by a lot of visible light.


What happens to the speed of light when it passes from water to glass?

the speed of light it different when it is passed through air, water or glass because all these have different optical densities. Speed of light is fastest in air, slower in water and slowest in glass.

What is a transparent material that refracts light rays?

A transparent material one that allows light to pass through with little absorption or distortion. If there is distortion, one might use the term translucent instead of transparent. More technically, one refers to a materials as being able to transmit light for a particular range of color as being transparent in that color range. Water is transparent for light in the range that the human eye can detect, but just outside that range, it becomes highly absorptive and would, if we could see, appear black. This is generally true for glass, air, salt and other materials which we would nominally characterize as transparent. Objects that absorb in a portion of the visible spectrum will transmit light that is a color formed from the portion of the spectrum that is not absorbed (portion that is transarent).

What is Ramanathan-molecular scattering of light in fluids?

The Ramanathan scattering of light is the phenomen of visible light scaterring into the 7 different invisible colours of light, when it comes in contact with water, the water sufficing as a glass spectrum to diffract the light into the colours. This phenomenon takes place naturally after rain as the rainbow appears.


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.


Does light travel fastest in space in air in water or through glass?

Light's apparent speed is fastest definitely in a vacuum and slower in water or glass. Light in air behaves more like in a vacuum than in water or glass.

Does water evaporate faster in a dark glass or clear glass?

It depends on how much light is shining on the glass. If there is a lot, then the water in the dark glass will evaporate faster because the temperature will be higher. If there is no light, then it does not matter.
