What happens when light passes through the prism in wrong angle?
There is no 'wrong angle' - it either passes through the prism or it doesn't. The blue or violet waves will be the most diffracted.
How Light passes through water?
It happens by the refraction of light.
What happens when light passes through a cylindrical lens?
sh@@ happens
What happens when light is refracted through water from air?
When light passes from air into water, it undergoes refraction, causing it to change direction. This is due to the change in speed of light as it moves from a less dense medium (air) to a denser medium (water). The light ray bends towards the normal (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface) when entering the water.
What happens when light passes through lens?
The light refracts or bend .
What happens when light passes through one medium to another?
When light passes from one medium to another, its speed and direction may change depending on the difference in the refractive indices of the two mediums. This change in speed and direction is called refraction. The amount of refraction is determined by Snell's Law, which relates the angle of incidence and refraction to the refractive indices of the two mediums.
What happens when a bright light passes through a prism?
When a bright light passes through a prism, it is refracted and dispersed into its component colors due to the different wavelengths of each color. This separation of colors creates a spectrum of colors known as a rainbow.
What happens to light when it passes through different substances?
it refracts
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 light passes through a plasma?
When light passes through a plasma, it can interact with the free electrons and ions within the plasma, causing scattering, absorption, and emission of light at different wavelengths. This interaction can result in phenomena such as refraction, diffraction, and interference, altering the properties of the light as it passes through the plasma.
What happens when light passes through vacuum?
it travels at c (speed of light in a vacuum)
