What happens to light as it strikes different materials?
the light will have a different color
Matter that does not transmit any light is what?
Opaque Materials, such as wood or steel, do not transmit light, accept in the case of a few Physicists, today, claiming that they have, in fact, transmitted light rays through different "holes" in different kinds of opaque materials.
Why does a light ray bend when it travels from the air to water?
Simply put, because the speed of light in the different materials is slightly different.
What is the bending of light rays as they pass through different materials?
REFRACTION
Which of the following types of waves travels at a different speed through different materials?
light waves
What are three materials that affect how to see light?
......,
What happens to light as it strikes different materials?

How do different kinds of materials affect the behavior of light?
Sound and light are both forms of energy that is carried from one place to another.they travel in all directions from the source.
Can light waves always travel in staight lines?
You mean "can light waves travel in nonstraight lines?"? Yes, if they are diffracted or pass through different materials. Gravity can also affect light waves and curve them.
Does light travel at different speeds through different materials?
no
How does light act when it hits different materials?
it bounces
How do different materials affect light and sound waves?
Light slows as it enters material with a higher density whereas sound waves speed up in materials of higher density. Light bends towards the "normal" as it passes from a less dense medium to a higher density medium ie air into glass. Both sound and light can be reflected from surfaces.
What three types of materials affect the behavior of light?
The type of light, the distance it has to travel and the substance that it passes through.
Does the type of cloth used affect how much heat it holds?
Yes. Different cloths are made of different materials - and different materials have different heat capacities and thermal conductivities.
Matter that does not transmit any light is what?
Opaque Materials, such as wood or steel, do not transmit light, accept in the case of a few Physicists, today, claiming that they have, in fact, transmitted light rays through different "holes" in different kinds of opaque materials.
How does light act as it passes through different materials?
It acts like light I guess
Why does a light ray bend when it travels from the air to water?
Simply put, because the speed of light in the different materials is slightly different.
