When is the only time that light waves travel at thespeedof light?
Light waves ALWAYS travel at the "Speed of Light"....based on the medium that the waves are traveling through. It just so happens that they go the FASTEST in a VACUUM.
What happens to the speed of the sound and the light as it enters the plastic?
Depends on the type of plastic.
Can light travel through air?
yes. if light didn't travel through air, then you wouldn't be able to see anything!
What does light travel through quickly?
through nothing
What happens to light that strikes clear plastic?
A common technique in chemistry is spectroscopic analysis. This is where light is passed through a solution to determine its composition. The spectrometer will give a reading of absorbance or percent transmittance. The absorbance tells you how much light is absorbed, while the percent transmittance tells you what percentage of the light passed through and was not absorbed. If when you say clear you mean "colorless," all the light will pass through. The plastic is most likely not entirely colorless so only a small portion of the light will be absorbed, and it will have a high percent transmittance value.
What 3 solids will allow light to travel through them?
glass, plastic, crystals (although a crystal wil lallow light to pass through it, it will also diffract the light)
What happens to waves when they travel through narrow slits?
the light goes through it and travels with each other.
Can light travel through plastic or glass?
Yes it can. Unless the plastic and/or glass is too thick. Some types of glass and plastics make it harder for light to go through. ----------- The question is: Can light pass througth plastic or glass? The answer has to be either "both" or "glass", instead simply saying "yes"
Can light travel through brick?
no if an object is OPAQUE then light can't travel through it (unless it has a hole in it)

Why doesn't light travel through a vacuum?
Light does travel through a vacuum.
How does how does light travel through opaque material?
it cant travel through light.
Does light travel through sponge?
Light will not travel through an opaque sponge.
What is vthe percentage of light travel through black plastic bag?
A fairly small percentage. The exact percentage depends on how thick the plastic bag is, and the exact material.
What can light travel through that sound cant travel through?
light can travel through a vacuum whereas sound cant
How does light travel through the moon?
The moon is opaque. Light cannot travel through it.
Can both light and sound travel through glass?
Both light and sound can indeed travel through glass. These are substances in which light and sound often travel through.
