What happens when you shine a light through a fog what is this called and why does it happen?
The fog is called a colloidal solution. When light is shined through this colloidal solution, the light scatters in all direction because of the substance contained in this solution type.
Light which bounces off the surface of an object is called?
When light changes direction as it passes through a boundary.
Property of a light that leads to formation of shadow?
They are light travels in a straight line and light cannot pass through opaque objects./ some light cannot pass through translucent objects.
When light is bounced off an object it cannot pass through it is?
There are many objects that no light can pass through, although of course, it depends on what type of light you're talking about. The name of the type of object that visible light cannot pass through is called opaque.
What happens to light that passes through a convex lens?
Light travelling through a concave lens will spread out. In most optical systems that use a concave lens, such as a telescope that needs to magnify the focal plane image, this is a desirable effect.
What is light traveling though an object called?
If light travels through an object, it is still called light. If you want to specify, you might say "light travelling through an object".
What happens when light travels through a pair of eyeglasses?
It is refracted
What describes light travelling through a wave?
wave model of light
What are heat waves called that are travelling at the speed of light?
radiation
When light is travelling through a medium it travels in a?
it travel in a staight line
What does light have to do with eyeglasses?
Bend it
What does refracting to light?
Any change in the refractive index of the medium through which the light is travelling causes refraction of light.
How do eyeglasses help?
Eyeglasses help by focusing the light through the cornea, the clear part of the eye just above the iris (colourd part of your eye).On to the back of the eye called the Retina which is photo sensitive. They can correct the light when it focus too far past the retina, far sighted (hyperopia). Or when the light focus too far in front of the retina, near sighted (myopia).
What is it called when a group of rays are travelling in straight lines?
Beam of light
How do the lenses in eyeglasses help people to read?
Eyeglasses work by bending light rays in the eyes of those who can't see well so that they reach the back of the eye properly (called the retina). When the light rays reach the appropriate part of your eyes you see better.
Do light waves travel towards or away when travelling through a slower medium?
towards the normal
What causses refraction?
The velocity of light (and other electromagnetic waves) depends on the medium through which it is travelling.
