Lights are a collection of rays moving together toward matter. There are three part behaviors of light, the visible, infrared and ultraviolet. The rays travel in forward lines and bend upon contact with reflective surfaces. The amount of bend in the light depends on the reflective nature.

When a wave changes from one medium to another causing it to bend?

The velocity of the light wave differs in different media. This is the main cause for bending of light ray as it traversed from one medium to the other


Causes of bending of light?

Bending of light is caused by light going through different mediums (or "media").For example, when it goes from air into a glass prism.The light would bend when the light hits the glass at an angle then bend again when it leaves the prism.This is called Refraction.The fundamental explanation of refraction involves the fact that light travels at different speeds in different mediums.Also, the phenomenon called "diffraction" can cause the bending of light.Another time that light can be bent is when travelling through a strong gravitational field. The explanation for this effect comes from Einstein's Theory of Relativity.


Will density of a substance cause it to fall faster?

All objects fall at 32 feet per second per second, meaning that every second, they are falling 32 feet per second faster. Air resistance may have a minimal effect but the density of the object will not affect the speed.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of offshore wind farms?

Offshore wind farms produce energy which is virtually emission free. After the initial expense of purchasing the wind farms, there are minimal costs involved in producing energy. Many people are opposed to offshore wind farms as they can ruin the view of the ocean and may cause noise.


The intensity of a sound wave?

Your ears and the sound pressure level meter like more the sound pressure of a sound wave.Note: Sound power (sound intensity) is the cause -and the sound pressure is the effect.The effect is of particular interest to the sound engineer.
