The of light rays is caused by glass bending light rays?
no, the light rays are caused due to reflection,transmission and absorption of light. Index of refraction.
What is the bending of light rays as it passes from one material into another?
Index Of Refraction
When light passes from a medium with a high index of refraction into a medium with a lower index of refraction which direction does the light bend?
A medium with a higher index of refraction, like diamond, is more dense than the medium with a lower index of refraction, like air. If the ray of light is moving from the less dense medium (lower index of refraction), to a more dense (higher index of refraction) the ray of light bends TOWARDS the normal.
What happens when a light moves from a material with a lower index of refraction to another material with a higher index of refraction?
The ray of light bends towards the normal.
How can the index of refraction for different substances be determined mathematically?
n(index of refraction) = c(speed of light in a vacuum)/v(speed of material in the sebstance)

How is the refractive index of glass is to water is related with that of air is to water?
Each substance has an index of refraction. The index of refraction of water is about 1.3330 . The index of refraction of air at standard conditions is about 1.0003 . There is no such thing as the index of refraction of "water to air".
When the mineral uvarovite has an index of refraction of 1.86. calculate the speed of light in this sample of uvarovite?
Use the definition of "index of refraction". In this case, you simply need to divide the speed of light in a vacuum by the index of refraction.
Why does no refraction occurs when the media have the same index of refraction?
Reflection happens only at the interface between two media, and two media with the same index of refraction act as if they were a single medium. Thus, at the interface between media with the same index of refraction, there is no reflection, and the ray keeps going straight. Continuing this line of thought, it is not surprising that we observe very little reflection at an interface between media with similar indices of refraction.
What is the refraction index of oil?

What is a property of a material that indicates how much it reduces the speed of light?
well kids, the answer is INDEX OF REFRACTION. (: science question on my homework
How does absorption reflection and refraction change the movement of P waves?
Absorption, reflection and refraction will all change of the movement of P waves. Absorption will reduce the energy of the waves. Reflection will bounce the waves back. Refraction will change the angle of the waves based on what they are bouncing off of.
How is the index of refraction of a medium related to the speed light of in the medium?
c divided by the index of refraction of the medium = the speed of light in the medium.
does light travels three-fourths as fast through water as it does a vacuum. what is water's index in refraction?
Water's index of refraction is 1.333
