What happens to light rays as it travels from the transparent glass of air?
prism
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
Describe how a light ray travels as it moves through empty space?
when light rays mave from one medium to another such as from air to water
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 do light rays travel in straight lines?
It does not, it travels as a wave
What happens to light rays as it travels from the transparent glass of air?
prism
How does light travel under sea?
Light travels under the sea through rays of sunshine that hit the water. Light only travels a few feet under the sea.

Why does a light ray bend when it travels from air to water?
Air and water have different refractory periods, meaning that light rays are "bent" differently in air and water. This characteristic is found in all materials light can pass through (oil, glass, etc.) so light bends when it travels between substances all the time.
What do you call the straight path that light travels?
light travels in straight paths called rays
What does the angle of incidence always equal?
What happens when light rays travel from water into the air
