What else can I help you with?
What happens to light when it hits a different medium?
The light reflects or refracts on hitting the medium.
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.
What happens to the intensity of light when it enters a dnser medium?
There's no reason to expect that the intensity of light must necessarily change when it enters a different medium.
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 as light enters a medium and its speed increases?
It reflects a rainbow pattern
What happens to light when it strikes a transparent medium?
When light strikes a transparent medium, such as glass or water, it can be transmitted through the material, absorbed, or reflected. The speed and direction of light can also change when moving from one medium to another, a phenomenon known as refraction.
What happens when light slows down?
When light slows down, it is passing through a medium with a higher refractive index. This occurs because light interacts with the particles in the medium, causing it to be absorbed and re-emitted. The speed at which light travels is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the medium.
What happens to the light ray when it passes from a low speed medium to a higher speed medium?
It changes direction, according to Snell's Law.
What happens to light when it travels from 1 medium to another?
When light travels from one medium to another, it can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed depending on the difference in the two material's optical properties. Refraction occurs when light bends as it moves from one medium to another with a different optical density, while reflection happens when light is bounced off the surface. Absorption takes place when the light is absorbed by the new medium's particles and converted into other forms of energy.
