What happens to light when it passes thought a different medium?
It bends.
What happens when light scatters?
It is redirected as it passes through a medium.
What happens to light when it scatters?
It is redirected as it passes through a medium
What happens when a ray of light passes from rarer medium to rarer medium?
When a ray of light passes from a rarer medium to a rarer medium, it will continue in a straight line and its speed will remain constant. There will be no change in the direction of the light ray.
Is light reflected or refracted when it passes through a transparent medium?
Light can be both reflected and refracted when it passes through a transparent medium. Reflection occurs when light bounces off the surface of the medium, while refraction happens when light changes direction as it moves through the medium.
What happens to the direction of a light wave when it passes from a less dense medium such as air into a more medium such as glass?
The light bends when it passes from one medium to another. But only if it approaches the interface at an angle. In such a case it will still travel slower, but there will be no apparent bending.
What happens to the direction of light wave when it passes from less dense medium such as air into a more dense medium such as glass?
The light bends when it passes from one medium to another. But only if it approaches the interface at an angle. In such a case it will still travel slower, but there will be no apparent bending.
This happens when light bends as it passes throw water?
Refraction occurs when light changes direction as it passes from one medium to another, such as from air to water. This bending of light is due to the change in speed of light as it enters a denser or less dense medium, causing the light rays to change direction.
What happens when speed of light enters a new kind of medium?
When light passes from one medium to another with a different refractive index, andnot in a direction perpendicular to the boundary between the media, its speed changes.
What happens to the speed and wavelength of light wave passing from liquid to solid?
When light passes from a liquid to a solid medium, its speed typically decreases, as solids usually have a higher refractive index than liquids. The wavelength of the light wave will also decrease as it enters the denser medium, causing the light to bend towards the normal.
Is reflection the bending of light?
No,its called refraction. this actually happens when the light passes from one medium to another and thus the velocity of light changes, which enable the light to bend.
What happens to the dirtier of a light wave when it passes from a less dense medium such as air into a more dense medium such as glass?
The answer depends on what on earth you mean by the "dirtier" of a wave.
