Nothing. It continues to travel in a straight line.

What happens to interstellar gas as it passes through a spiral density wave?
what happens to interstellear gas as it passes through a spiral density wave
What happens when light passes through a plasma?
Light passes thru, gets absorbed or is reflected dependent on the wavelength of light and the density of the plasma.
When a beam of light passes at an oblique angle into a material?
The result of a beam of light passing through a material relies entirely on the optical density of the material. If its density is lower than air, then the angle of incidence will be less (more acute) than the angle at which it enters. The opposite is true for a material with higher optical density.
Why does the light bend as it passes from air to glass or from glass to air?
This is due to the difference in optical density.
What does the term density and refractive index mean?
The optical density of a medium is not the same as its physical density. The physical density of a material refers to the mass/volume ratio. Optical density determines how much a light wave is slowed down as it passes through a medium. The more optically dense a material is, the slower that a wave will move through the material.The refractive index is a measurement of optical density. A medium with a low optical density, would have also a low refractive index.For example air, having a low optical density has a refractive index of 1.0003, whereas water, with a higher optical density, has a higher refractive index of 1.333.
What is marginal rays?
Marginal rays are the light that passes through an optical system that is away from the optical axis.
What is the difference between material density optical density?
I was also looking for the answer to this question. I decided to see what Wikipedia had to say about it, and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorbance This article kinda explains how they are related. Good luck!
When a ray of light passing through a point in a lens does not undergo deviation?
When it passes through optical centre.
When light passes from a low density object to a high density object its speed will?
bend towards the normal or it's speed will decrease
When a beam of light passes at an oblique angle into a material of lower optical density the angle if incidence is what?
less than the angle of refraction.
What happens to the recturm?
the food passes through
What happens when light passes through a cylindrical lens?
sh@@ happens
