What happens as light moves from one transparent material into a different transparent material?

IF the refractive indexes of the two materials are not the same number, and
IF the light is not traveling perpendicular to the boundary between them, then
the direction of the light will change at the boundary. This happens because
of the slight difference in the speed of light in the two materials. The process
is called "refraction" of light. Without it, eyes and other lenses would not work.

What happens to light when opaque meets a transparent material?
shadow formed on the other side of transparent material
Explain what happens to light upon meeting opaque and transparent materials?
opaque material: some light will get reflected and some will get absorbed transparent material: light will go though it
What happens when light passes through one transparent material into clear water?
the light is transmitted through the transparent material into the water which is transmitted untill it hits soething opaque amd the light is absorbed into that.
What happens when light hits a transparent material?
Even though you can see through a material..i.e. it is transparent...it may have color and a physicist will want to know this information. What type of light is hitting this material is important to include in your question as well as the type of transparent material. What type of light? (and the strength ...source would be great) What type of material? What color is the material? Answer: It allows light to pass through a material
What happens to white light if it goes through a colored transparent material?
since white ligth actually contains all colors of light, the transparent material only lets its color of light through. ie: blue filter allows blue light in
What happens to light when opaque meets a transparent material?
shadow formed on the other side of transparent material
what happens when light is directed to a transparent material?
of course the light will scattered
What happens when light is directed at a transparent matrial?
It is refracted or 'bent' at the surface of the transparent material. (Obviously, to be directed at a transparent material the light must be travelling through a material that is at least partially transparent.) Please see the link.

What happens to light rays as they pass from one transparent material to another?
you ask me
What happens to the color of light that are not transmitted through a transparent or a translucent material?
they reflected

What is the material that light can pass clearly?
transparent material.
What king of material allows light to pass through?
the answer is transparent material
