What happens when light goes from water to air?
light rays bend away from normal as it passes from denser water to rarer air
Why the ray of light does not bend when it passes perpendicularly from rarer medium to denser medium?
Since the angle of incidence is 0, there is no chance of refraction and so the angle of refraction too becomes 0.
Is it possible to achieve total internal reflection if the object is in rarer medium?
First we should know what will be happen when the light ray goes from denser medium to rarer medium and rarer medium to denser mdeium.... 1. The light refracted away from the normal (Denser to Rarer) 2. The light refracted towards the normal (Rarer to denser) So it is not possibel to get total internal reflection whan the light travel from rarer to denser medium...... Conditions to achieve to get TIR 1. The light should travel from denser mediumt to rarer medium 2. The angle of incidence at the interface should be greater than critical angle if you are not satisfied kindly mail me cramkum@gmail.com
Why does velocity of light in rarer medium than in denser medium?
Light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium because you did not close your curtains. It then passed through the denser window glass into the rarer air outside. The people outside the house saw you running your finger around the bottom of the cake getting a little of the icing.
Why does a stick dipped in water appears to be bent?
Light bends when it passes at an angle into a medium of a different density. When light passes from a less dense medium into a denser medium, like from space into Earth's atmosphere or from air into water, it bends toward the normal, which is an imaginary line perpendicular to the boundary between the two media where the light passes through. Light passing from a denser medium to a less dense medium bends away from the normal.
What is emergent ray in refraction of light?
The emergent ray is the ray of light which passes through a denser medium(glass) to a rarer medium(air).
What is a rarer medium?
If the light travels faster in the second medium, then this medium is called the rarer medium.

What happenend light from rarer to denser medium?
It slowed down.
What is the diffraction of light waves?
Diffraction of light waves is caused by the density of the medium through which the light is passing. Diffraction results when light travels from rarer to denser medium.
How do light refract?
when light travels from rarer medium(which has relatively lower density) to a denser medium(which is of relatively higher density) the angle of incident light and refracted light is less than 180 degree(when the angle is considered at the point of incidence) and when the light travels from a denser to a rarer medium the angle will be greater than 180 degree.
When light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium it bends away from the normal Is it possible for the light ray to reflect back in the same medium?
Yes, at the critical angle, all of the light will reflect, and will not leave the medium.
What is the speed of light in oil?
Einstein says that the speed of light is the same to all observers. This raises some interesting problems and his theories of relativity set out to solve them. But that aside, the speed of light is the same in olive oil and a diamond as it is anywhere else.
