What is the name given to the change in direction of the ray of light as it enters a prism?
Refraction
What happens when you shine a light ray into a light prisim?
When the light ray strikes the surface of the prism, both when it enters and when it leaves, it bends owing to the different in the speeds of light in air and the material of which the prism is made. The amount of bending depends in part on the frequency of the light which is related to the colour of the light, hence the appearance of a colour spectrum which can be seen from a triangular prism.
What happens when a ray of light is shone into a prism?
The various frequencies are separated.
When a ray of light from air enters to glass what happens to velocity?
it decreases
When does total internal refraction happen?
Total internal refraction happens when a light ray travel from a lighter medium to a denser medium. Ex. A light ray passing through a Prism.

What happens when a light ray enters an anisotropic material?
they make anistropical babies
What happens when a light ray enter a prism?
All the colors of the visible light spectrum are made visible.
When a ray of light from air enters to glass what happens to wavelength?
It will not change. Glass slows light but does not change it frequency.
Does a light ray bend if it enters a glass block perpendicularly?
No, a light ray does not bend if it enters a glass block perpendicularly.
When does total internal refraction happen?
Total internal refraction happens when a light ray travel from a lighter medium to a denser medium. Ex. A light ray passing through a Prism.
When light passes through a prism why does the light ray bend towards the base of the prism?
reflection
What will happen the ray is shone at the prism?
when the ray is shone at the prism, refraction occurs and the light will split into it's original colour.
How can a spectrum be recombined to form white light?
you get your spectrum by placing a prism in front of a single ray of white light, then by putting another prism opposite it the light will then go through that prism and in the end you will end up back with your single ray of light that you started with.
