-- Its speed increases.
-- Its wavelength increases.
-- It refracts away from the normal to the interface at the point of incidence.

What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is lower?
It moves at a slower speed!
What happens when light traveling at an angel passes from one material into another?
When light traveling at an angle passes from one material into another, it undergoes refraction. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another, due to the change in the speed of light. The degree to which the light bends depends on the angle of incidence and the refractive indices of the materials involved.
When light passes from one material to another you may observe refraction?
Yes.
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.
Explain What happens when a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution and why?
When a beam of light passes through a colloidal solution it scatters because of tyndall effect.
What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is lower?
It moves at a slower speed!
What happens when light bends as it passes from one material to another?
it is refraction
What happens to light that strikes a transluctent material?
some of the light is reflected, some of the light is absorbed, and some of the light passes though.
A material through which nearly all light passes is?
A material through which nearly all light passes is called a transparent material.
What happens to a speed of a light ray as it passes from water to air?
It gets faster. As a result, it also changes its direction.
What happens when light passes through one transparent material into clear water?
the light is transmitted through the transparent material into the water which is transmitted untill it hits soething opaque amd the light is absorbed into that.
What is caused when light bends as it passes through a material?
Light does not bend as it passes through a material. It bends when it passes from one material to another. This is called refraction. Light can also be dispersed, that is separated into its different colours, if it is refracted enough.
When light passes through a material and spread out what is the material?
It is opaque.but when it passes through a translucent material depending on the structure of the material it may also spread.
What is a n opaque material?
Opaque Material That Light Passes Less
What is it called when light bends as it passes through a material?
refracted light
The bending of light as it passes from one material to a different material is called?
absorption
Light is refracted by?
when it passes through a new material
