What material has the greatest velocity of light?
air
Explain why refractive index values of liquids are greater than one?
The velocity of light in a liquid sample is always less than the light in air The velocity of light in a liquid sample is always less than the light in air
What is the velocity change when the ray of light passes from air to glass?
When a photon goes say from air to water, it slows down according to; n=c/v where n is refractive index of water c is velocity of light in air v is velocity of light in water It is stated that the frequency of the photon doesn't change when the photon enters the water. Only the wavelength changes.
What is the velocity of light in air and water?
The velocity of light in air is about 299,792 kilometers per second, while in water it is about 225,000 kilometers per second. This difference is due to the differing refractive indexes of air and water, which affects the speed at which light travels through these mediums.
When a ray of light from air enters to glass what happens to velocity?
The velocity of light decreases when it enters glass due to its higher optical density compared to air. This causes the light ray to bend towards the normal line at the boundary between air and glass.
What happens to the velocity and wavelength of light when it passes from air into water?
The speed of the light decreases, and its wavelength increases by the same factor.
Largest component of air?
The larges component of air - is Nitrogen (approximately 79 % by volume).
Is the velocity of light higher in water or in air?
The velocity of light is higher in air than in water. In a vacuum, light travels at its maximum speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, which decreases when it passes through a medium like air or water due to interactions with the medium's atoms and molecules.
What happens to light when it travels from air into denser?
its frequency remains constant but velocity changes.
What can you say about the speed of differentcolors of light in the air?
they have the same velocity but have different wavelength and frequency
What happen to the velocity frequency and wavelength of light as it leaves air and passes through a glass prism?
As light passes from air into a glass prism, its velocity decreases due to the change in medium. The frequency of light remains the same as it is determined by the source of the light. The wavelength of light decreases as it enters the denser medium of the glass, causing the light to bend or refract.
How many meters per second do light waves travel in air at a constant velocity?
