How is refraction of light related to wave length of colors?
The longer the wavelength, the greater the angle of refraction.
The refraction of light in a diamond is greater for?
Short Wavelength light
An arc of colored light in the sky caused by refraction of the suns rays by rain?
Refraction of sunlight by raindrops, the refraction depending upon wavelength to produce the colors
When is the speed of light increases or decreases after refraction?
Refraction comes into play only when the light travels from one medium into another medium. The speed of light is different in different media, so the wavelength changes due to refraction. The formula for wavelength is the ratio of the speed of light to its frequency. The most important point is that the frequency character of light remains constant eventhough it travels in different media. Hence the wavelength is directly proportional to the speed of light. So as speed changes, the wavelength also changes accordingly.
Is frequency a characteristic of visible light that does not depend on the light's wavelength?
No.
What about the angle of refraction and its relationship to wavelength?
The steeper the refraction, the smaller the wavelength.
Why critical angle is depend on wavelength used?
The behaviour of electromagnetic waves of depends on their wavelengths. As a result the critical angle for refraction changes according to the wavelength.
How do you measure the angle of refraction?
you measure the angel...tehn find the refraction

The refraction of light in a diamond is greater for?
Short Wavelength light
What is the critical angel?
The critical angel is the angle of incidence that yields an angel of refraction that is larger than the angels of incidence.
An arc of colored light in the sky caused by refraction of the suns rays by rain?
Refraction of sunlight by raindrops, the refraction depending upon wavelength to produce the colors
When a wave changes its speed and wavelength to go into a different materials this is called?
refraction :)
Explain why all colours refract at different angles?
When a beam of light crosses the boundary between a vacuum and another medium, or between two different media, the wavelength of the light changes, but the frequency remains constant. If the beam of light is not orthogonal (or rather normal) to the boundary, the change in wavelength results in a change in the direction of the beam. This change of direction is known as refraction. Which basically means each color is on a Different "wavelength" which causes it to go in a slightly different angel after it hits a refraction-able object
What is the equivalent wavelength of 1000 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.That would also depend on the speed of the wave. Speed = wavelength x frequency.
When the wavelength of the light is halved what is the amount of scattering?
the amount of scattering does not depend on wavelength..
Does the wavlength increase when a refraction of a wave occurs when the wave travels from one material into another?
The wavelength changes. Whether it increases or decreases depends on the index of refraction of both materials.
