Which color of light passing from glass to air has minimum critical angle?
The color of light that has the minimum critical angle when passing from glass to air is red. This is because red light has the longest wavelength of all the visible colors, which leads to a smaller change in speed and a larger angle of refraction at the interface between the two mediums.
What is the critical angle of perspex and water?
The Critical angle of perspex is 42o.It is the same as the critical angle of glass.
What best describes why the critical angle of an air-glass boundary is 39.3?
The critical angle depends on the index of refraction of the two substances, in this case, air and glass. The angle can be calculated by Snell's Law. It won't always be exactly 39.3°, since different glasses have different indices of refraction.
How is the critical angle related to the refractive index of a medium?
The refractive number of a substance is a measure of how much the speed of a wave changes compared to the speed in a reference medium i.e. air or a vacuum. The critical angle is the angle of incidence above which total internal reflection occurs. When the angle of incidence of the light ray leaving the glass is less than the critical angle, the light ray speeds up on leaving the glass and is refracted away from the normal.
Why does light bend when it goes through glass at an angle?
Change in speed of the light in glass. Fermat showed that time is invariant in light paths. This results in Light following the Law of Signs. sin(Air Angle)/speed in air = sin( Glass Angle)/speed in glass .

What is the critical angle of perspex and water?
The Critical angle of perspex is 42o.It is the same as the critical angle of glass.
Why critical angle for water is greater than the critical angle of glass?
Because of the difference in the density of the materials.
What happens to light that moves from glass to air when its angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle?
It does not move from glass to air but undergoes internal refraction. That is, it is refracted back into the glass at the interface.
What will happen to a light ray incident on a glass-to-air boumdary at greater than the critical angle?
Anything greater than critical angle will cause the light to just be reflected.

What color of light has the gratest angle of refraction when passing from air to glass?
Red light does.

How is the refracting angle related to grazing incidence and grazing emergence?
Grazing emergence occurs when the incident ray is makes an angle between itself and the normal which is equal to the critical angle (42 for glass).
What is the critical angle of glass?
When light in glass of index of refraction n hits the surface at angle A relative to the surface normal (perpendicular line to the surface) it generally exits into the air at larger angle B. These three variables are related by Snell's Law: n Sin(A) = (1)Sin(B) (air has index of refraction approx. = 1 ) The critical angle A for internal reflection occurs when the exit angle is 90 so the exit light skims the surface. Anything larger then critical A and the light gets reflected back into the glass. So in Snell's law let B = 90; nSin(A) =(1)Sin(90) = (1)(1) so Sin(A) = 1/n For glass n ~ 1.5 so Sin(A) ~ .67 This is the sine of the critical angle. Now figure out what angle has a sign of .67 and Whala you have it.
How does the angle of minimum deviation of glass prism varyif the incident voilet light is replaced with red light?
fu** ur self..... what is the angle of min devi for a violet color
Where will be speed of light minimum-water or air or vacuum or glass?
The speed of light is minimum in Glass. It is because light travels at minimum speed in solids.
