What happend to rays of light when they are refracted by a convex lens?
Now suppose that the rays of light are traveling through the focal point on the way to the lens. These rays of light will refract when they enter the lens and refract when they leave the lens. As the light rays enter into the more dense lens material, they refract towards the normal; and as they exit into the less dense air, they refract away from the normal. These specific rays will exit the lens traveling parallel to the principal axis.
Why is a spectrum of colors not obtained when light passes through a glass slab?
The light has to pass through in a way that the colors are separated and refracted, but if they pass through glass and are not refracted in a certain way they will not separate the spectrum
How colour affects the ability of a material to conduct heat?
Color is the way light reflects off of a certain object. Certain colors can retain heat better, like black since it absorbs light. White reflects light, and is therefore cooler. This is also useful on a hot day, because black clothing can get stuffy and hot.
What color light is refracted the most?
violet or the blue side of rays refract moreRefraction is the change in direction of a light beam commonly caused as it passes from one medium to another. Snell's law relates the angle of incidence and angle of refraction by n1 * sin(theta1) = n2 * sin(theta2).The reason different wavelengths of light refract at different angles in a medium (such as water or glass) is because the index of refraction (n2) varies by wavelength, this variation with wavelength is known as dispersion.In most materials that you would observe refraction, the index of refraction decreases with wavelength. This is called normal dispersion. (If the index of refraction increases with wavelength, it's called anamolous dispersion.)Thus, in glass (prisms) or water (rainbows), which exhibit normal dispersion, the index of refraction is greater for shorter wavelengths. Violet light, which is the shortest wavelength of visible light, will refract the most.by the way- this is not my thought, I got this from yahoo! UK and Ireland' from a guy named askbrian
Why does light that is normal to a refracting surface not get refracted?
Because the angle of refraction depends (among other things) on the difference between the angle of incidence and the normal. Therefore, if if the angle of incidence is equal to 90 degrees (normal), then the angle of refraction is zero. This is the reason why images, when viewed straight-on through a window, do not appear distorted. Or, think about it like this: If light was refracted when normally incident, which way would it refract?
Why would a chip in a glass block cause light to refract differently?
It would cause light to refract differently because the angle at which the light hits the glass block would alter and there for the way the light refracts would also alter.

What is the cause for a problem check engine light to a car Toyota Trecel 1995?
The only way to find out for certain is to use an automotive code scanner that is designed for your vehicle.
What does the word refract mean?
The way light changes direction as it passes through a prism. Look at the Dark Side of the Moon album cover for an example of refraction.
How does a lenes work?
a lens is a transparent material that refract slight in a particular way.
How are colors separated in the rainbow?
Rainbows occur shortly after it rains. White light (sunlight) consists of each color, each with a different wavelength. The rain partices act like a prism. The light goes into the prsim and refracts into every color. Other waves don't refract this way but certain colors bend more than others. The rain droplets bend the white light into separate colors to make a rainbow.
How do dresses inspire you?
They inspire you by their tequniques that are used in the dresses. Such as sequines, or how theyve designed the dresses in a certain way
Certain videos or pictures make you react a certain way?
Not really. They can be 'designed' to elicit a certain reaction in an audience, but, if the audience is aware of how film-makers manipulate them, then they can avoid reacting predictably.
Slow glass that reduces the speed of light?
Most forms of glass do not change the speed of light. Darker glass lets less light through it Glass at an angle to light may refract ( bend) light or glass may break light up into all the colours the light is made of rainbow / spectrum. The only way anyone has successfully stopped and restarted light is using magnetic beams
How do the scientists know that the center of the earth is hot?
By the way earthquake waves refract as they pass through it.
does a bottle reflect or refract?
The following answer assumes a clear glass bottle, generally round cylinder in shape: If you can only choose one or the other: refract. Light shines through a bottle and gets "bent" along the way before it comes out the other side. However, common observations reveal that the surface of a given glass bottle is shiny, thus reflective, as well.
What colors make up the Sun?
Although the sun is a Yellow dwarf, the light that comes to use is white. White is made up of all the colours in the spectrum. If you refract the light through a prism you will see all the colour much the same way as u see a rainbow.
