The direction of light propagation can be changed at the boundary of two media having different densities. This property is called refraction, and is illustrated in the following figure for the boundary between air and water.

What is the measurement of how well a substance reflects light called?
Luster
Bending of light waves when they pass through another substance?
this occurs when an object takes in light waves
How the beam would bend if the speed of light were the same in both air and water?
In that case, the ray of light would not be bent when going from one substance to another. It would be the same as if the substance remained in the same substance, for example, air. Refraction depends on the index of refraction, which is directly related to the speed of light in a substance - and not on any other physical characteristic of the substance.
How can light be refracted?
Light hits a substance. The substance makes light change speed. Light gets scattered through the substance. Then the light bends.
When substance give off light or another form of electromagnetic radiartion when they absorb energy?
Fluorescence
If light passes from one substance into another is usually called?
No
As light passes from one substance to another it is?
Its being Refracted.
What chemical is in a firefly when they produce light?
This substance is called luciferin.
What is the measurement of how well a substance reflects light called?
Luster
When there is not enough oxygen to light a fire another substance is made what is that substance?
You think probable to carbon monoxide, CO.
Transmission of light through a substance what is it called it is a crossword question?
its gay

How is refracted?
The refraction of light means that although light travels in straight lines, when it moves from one substance into another, it can change direction. This happens because the wave changes speed as it travels between different types of materials.As a light wave travelsbetween diffrent clear substances, the light wave bends. When light passes one substance to another, the light changes direction.
How can light refract?
Light hits a substance. The substance makes light change speed. Light gets scattered through the substance. Then the light bends.
