Why cant you see visible light to see molecules?

In order to "see" something with eyes, the object must be longer than the light wave refracted from it. Molecules are too small to be refracted.


Why are you more likely to see a mirage on a hot day than on a mild day?

The density of air increases as the air gets cooler. The greater the difference in densities is, the more the light refracted.


Why cant you use visible light to see molecules?

Why does water seem to shimmer when the sun is shineing?

This effect is called a 'Mirage.' It occurs when the light rays from a distant object are refracted by heated air so that the object appears to be nearby.


How does a prism create light dispersion?

Refraction. White light is made up of coloured components with different frequencies, which are refracted to different angles when passing through the prism. Blue light is refracted the most, whereas red is refracted the least. This allows us to see the entire spectrum of visible light.


What happened to light when it is refracted?

How light is reflected and refracted in a diamond?

Light is reflected and refracted in a diamond based on the angles of its facets relative to the source of the light.
