What happens if you are driving a car at the speed of light and you cut your headlights on?
They'll leave your car at the speed of light, and when that light passes anybody, they'll measure the speed of the light as it passes them to be the speed of light.
What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is lower?
It moves at a slower speed!
What will happen when ray of light passes through a glass slab?
speed of light will decreases
What happens to the speed of light as passes from water to air?
It increases.
What happens when light passes through vacuum?
it travels at c (speed of light in a vacuum)
What happens when a light ray travels through air into glass?
Light speed slows down in the glass.
What happens to speed of light when light goes into air?
That depends what it comes out of. If it passes into air from vacuum, thenits speed decreases. If it passes into air from water or jello, then its speedincreases.
What happens to the speed of light when it travels from air into glass?
It decreases.
What happens to light as it passes through different mediums?
Its speed and wavelength change.
Does light slow down when it passes through glass and also emerge at a lower speed?
Light travels slower in glass based on its refractive index of 1.5.
What happens to the speed of light when it passes from water to glass?
the speed of light it different when it is passed through air, water or glass because all these have different optical densities. Speed of light is fastest in air, slower in water and slowest in glass.
What happens when light passes from air into another medium?
It's either absorbed, reflected or refracted by the material, or any combination of the three. Refraction happens in transparent materials like glass, the speed and possibly direction of the light may be altered. Light travelling through glass, water or diamond for example, will travel slightly slower.
