Which medium is most dense glass water or diamond?
Diamond, because it refracted the light the most.
Which medium is the most dense and how do you know glass water or diamond?
diamond
The average speed of light is greatest in?
The velocity of light travelling through a material relates to the index of refraction of that material. In this group, air has the lowest index of refraction, follow by water, fused quartz, and crown glass. This means like travels the fastest through air, then water, then fused quarts, and finally glass.
What are three objects that are transparent?
Diamond, glass, Muscovite mica. And the cornea of your eye is the most obvious.
What color light is refracted the most?
violet or the blue side of rays refract moreRefraction is the change in direction of a light beam commonly caused as it passes from one medium to another. Snell's law relates the angle of incidence and angle of refraction by n1 * sin(theta1) = n2 * sin(theta2).The reason different wavelengths of light refract at different angles in a medium (such as water or glass) is because the index of refraction (n2) varies by wavelength, this variation with wavelength is known as dispersion.In most materials that you would observe refraction, the index of refraction decreases with wavelength. This is called normal dispersion. (If the index of refraction increases with wavelength, it's called anamolous dispersion.)Thus, in glass (prisms) or water (rainbows), which exhibit normal dispersion, the index of refraction is greater for shorter wavelengths. Violet light, which is the shortest wavelength of visible light, will refract the most.by the way- this is not my thought, I got this from yahoo! UK and Ireland' from a guy named askbrian
What material refracts the most?
Light does not refract via a single material. Refraction occurs when light passes from one material into another of a different density. It is the amount of difference in densities that causes the refraction. The greater the difference the greater the refraction. I believe that the densest material would be diamond, so light passing through a diamond and into a vacuum would seem to be the greatest difference, causing the greatest refraction.
What is the of a diamond?
Unique chemical composition, hardness, refraction etc., and most every diamond is microscopically different from every other diamond.

Light traveling from air into glass has an angle of 45 degrees The angle of refraction in the glass is most likely?
27.7 degrees if the glass is crown glass.
Which medium is most dense glass water or diamond?
Diamond, because it refracted the light the most.
Which medium is the most dense and how do you know glass water or diamond?
diamond
Can glass produce sparkling effect if it cut similarly as the diamond?
No. Diamond has a high refractive index where silicone -- the base element in most glass -- does not enjoy this characteristic.

What happens when a ray of light is directed at a block of glass?
When a ray of light is directed at a glass block, it may be reflected. However, in most cases, refraction will take place when the ray is redirected in a different angle.
What are three objects that are transparent?
Diamond, glass, Muscovite mica. And the cornea of your eye is the most obvious.
How do you examine a diamond at home?
You can take the diamond and test to see if it can scratch glass(warning: this may cause damage to the diamond) also if you own a magnifying glass put the diamond up to it... If there are tiny imperfections it's most likely real, you could also literally smash it with a hammer... If it doesn't break or even chip, the diamond is real.
Why diamond is hard enough to cut glass?
Yes. Diamond cuts through everything. In fact, diamond is the hardest natural material on Earth. (Diamond or laser can cut diamond.) The question was 'why'... the answer is because it is the most compressed carbon based material.
