What happens if light moves from a material in which its speed is lower to one in which its speed is higher the ray is bent away from the?

The ray bends away from the "normal" a line that runs perpendicular through the boundary of the two materials.

What happens when a light moves from a material with a lower index of refraction to another material with a higher index of refraction?
The ray of light bends towards the normal.
What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is lower?
It moves at a slower speed!
What happens when light has higher frequency?
Light, or any kind of wave thing, has shorter wavelengths when its frequency is higher than it has when its frequency is lower.
Does light travel faster in a material with a higher index of refraction?
Light travels faster in liquid material with a higher index or reflection.
Light travels faster in a material with a lower index of refraction.?
true

It moves at a slower speed!
What happens when light moves from a material in which it's speed is higher to a material in which it's speed is lower?
-- its speed decreases -- its wavelength increases -- if it doesn't approach the boundary perpendicular to it, then it bends closer to the perpendicular
What happens when light has higher frequency?
Light, or any kind of wave thing, has shorter wavelengths when its frequency is higher than it has when its frequency is lower.
Does light travel faster in a material with a higher index of refraction?
Light travels faster in liquid material with a higher index or reflection.
What happens to the amount of light needed as you move from a lower to a higher magnification?
you are viewing a smaller area so you need less light
Would fluorescent material glow if it was illuminated by infrared light?
Not normally - the idea behind florescence is higher energy light (ultra-violet) powers lower energy light (visible light).
A material with a higher or lower R-value is a better insulator?
Higher
Does ultra violet light have a lower or higher wavelength then visible light?
Lower
Is the frequency of purple light higher or lower than yellow light?
higher
Is the frequency of blue light higher or lower than violet light?
Indigo has a higher frequency..
Does higher energy light have a higher frequency than lower energy light does?
yes
