What happens when light is refracted through water from air?
The light will bend as it passes through.
What happen when the light passes from air into water?
Refracted. My bad typo.
How does the direction of a ray of light change as it passes from air into water?
When a ray of light travels it is in a wave and when it enters from air to water it becomes more dense and harder to move so the waves are refracted.
Is a rainbow light energy?
It is light that has been refracted by the water vapour in the air.
Light traveling between air and water is?
refracted because of the change in density from air to water

How ligth is affected passing throug water?
When light passes from air to water, the light is refracted because water is denser than air and therefore slows down the speed of the light.
How does the direction of a ray of light change as it passes from air into water?
When a ray of light travels it is in a wave and when it enters from air to water it becomes more dense and harder to move so the waves are refracted.
What happens to a beam of light as it passes from air to water?
When a ray of light passes from air to water, it slows down and the ray of light bends towards the normal to its plane of entry. This is called refraction, the ray of light is refracted. The refractive index of air is less than that of water.
Is a rainbow light energy?
It is light that has been refracted by the water vapour in the air.
Light traveling between air and water is?
refracted because of the change in density from air to water
Will light be refracted more when it goes from air to glass or from air to water?
Gets refracted more in case of glass than water as glass has higher refractive index with respect to air
Is light refracted more while passing from air to water or water to glass?
yes
When is light refracted?
light is refracted when it travels through air and then through glass
How is refraction related to light?
Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another. If you have your feet in a pool your legs looked bent because the light is being refracted as it moves from under the water through the air on its way to your eye.
What is a refracted wave?
It means that the wave changes direction when it passes from one medium to another - for example, from air to water, or from denser air to less dense air.
