Does refraction occur for both sound and light waves?
Refraction occurs for any waves, where there's a change in the medium.
2 similarities between reflection and refraction?
Refraction is when light slightly bends because glass or water is in the way. This makes the object look bent or crooked. For example when you put a straw in a glass of water, the straw looks as if it were bent, but it really isn't. Reflection is when the light particles of an object bounce off of another object showing the same image. You can't see your reflection on all objects though.
What are the 2 conditions when the direction does not change on refraction?
-- Light approaches the boundary between any two media along the normal direction. -- Light approaches the boundary at any angle and the indexes of refraction of both media are equal.
Is a rainbow artificial light or natural light?
Fireworks are manmade.
What is the similarity between echoes of sound and images in a mirror?
Echoes of sound and images in a mirror involves sound waves and light waves respectively being reflected off a surface.
Is refraction a property of transverse waves longitudinal waves or both?
Refraction Phenomenon becomes possible for both transverse (light waves) and longitudinal (sound waves)
Does refraction occur for both sound and light waves?
Refraction occurs for any waves, where there's a change in the medium.
A lens makes the light change direction what is the change of direction called?
Scattering is an interaction of light with matter that causes light to change its energy, direction of motion, or both. so the plain answer is scattering the particles.
What is the name given to a change of direction of a ray of light?
'Refraction' and 'reflection' both change the direction of light.
What is the relation of speed of light through a substance and the ange of refraction?
The speed of light in a single substance doesn't tell you anything about refraction. The angle of refraction at the boundary between two substances depends on the speed of light in both of them ... and also, let us not forget, on the angle of incidence at the boundary.
What does refraction mean in sound?
If light is refracted, that means it is bent around a barrier. This property of light is due to its wave-particle duality, meaning it exhibits both wave and particle properties. Since light is a wave, it can bend around objects--similar to how a water wave can bend around a pier.
Which travels sound or light?
Both light and sound travel. Light travels the fastest.

Do light and sound both move in waves?
Yes, both light and sound can be described as waves. Light waves are electromagnetic waves, while sound waves are mechanical waves. They both propagate through a medium, although light can also travel through a vacuum.
Can both light and sound travel through glass?
Both light and sound can indeed travel through glass. These are substances in which light and sound often travel through.
What are the 2 conditions when the direction does not change on refraction?
-- Light approaches the boundary between any two media along the normal direction. -- Light approaches the boundary at any angle and the indexes of refraction of both media are equal.
Are echoes of sound and mirror images examples of refracted waves?
it is a reflection because the sound waves does not travel to another medium that is the condition of refraction
