Why doesn't a clear window refract white light?
It does. The light refracts when it enters one side of the glass, and then it refracts in the other direction when it leaves the other side and goes back into air. The slab of glass doesn't distort the image, because its surfaces are flat and parallel. So light leaves the glass in very nearly the same direction as it was headed when it arrived.
Can water bend light?
Yes it can , water refracts light , even though the light isn't as straight as it should be it refracts it. If you need proof , get a glass of water and place a pen into it and you will see as if the pen is broken. -Mikhail out That is actually why you have the rainbow:) Ange de la mort
When light travels sideways through a glass of water and comes out the other side how many times will the light ray refract?
It refracts four times.
What is the verb for the word refraction?
The verb for refraction is refract.Other verbs are refracts, refracting and refracted.Some example sentences are:"I will refract this beam of light"."The light refracts instead of reflects"."The professor is demonstrating the science of refracting"."The ray of light refracted through the glass prism".
What is something that refracts examples?
a magnifying glass
What would be more affected underwater a convex mirror or a concave lens?
what do you call a curved piece of glass or other transparent material that refracts light
What is the change of path of a light ray from air into glass?
it refracts closer to the medium
Does water absorb light?
It doesn't water refracts or bends the light which is why the straw looks bent in a glass of water
How is light affected when passing through water?
Light is affected by everything it touches. If it touches a glass of water, it *refracts* (bends).
Curved glass that bends light rays?
A lens is a curved glass that refracts or bends light rays. The two principal types of lenses are convex and concave.
Can you give me an example of how light refacts?
Light refracts when the light photons changes medium, such as from air into glass. A curved glass surface will result in different levels of refractions and hence the different colors.
Why doesn't a clear window refract white light?

What causes light to refract when it hits a piece of glass?
the light rays hit the piece of glass and the surface of the glass causes it to refract
What is something that refracts?
a magnifying glass
Why can we see glass when it is transparent?
atoms vibrate, causing it to heat up. Making it transparent.
How is light reflected and refracted in the telescope to allow it to enlarge distant images?
a lens is curved piece of glass, plastic, or other clear material that refracts light that pass through it. Because lenses for different uses must bend light in different ways, not all lens are alike.
