Why can you not see round corners?
All electromagnetic radiation from VHF and higher frequencies (including visible light) travels only in straight lines. However these frequencies will reflect off certain surfaces, one surface that visible light reflects off is a mirror, which if properly arranged can be used to see around corners.
The bending of light rays around corners is called?
diffraction
Diffraction is the tendency of light to?
Diffraction is the tendency of light to spread around corners.
What is it called when light travels from air to glass?
When light travels from air to glass it is called refraction. As it travels, the light ray slows down and bends towards the normal. The normal is a line drawn at right angles to the boundary of the medium.
Does light travels in straight line?
Yes because, Light travels in a straight path called a light ray.

who can anser me The distance light travels in a year is called?
The distance light travels in a year is called light-year
Earth travels around the sun in light years?
how many light years the earth travels around the sunNo. The Earth travels around the Sun in a measurement of time called a year, which is one revolution or trip around the sun: approximately 584,020,178 miles.A light year is a measurement of distance that light travels in one year, which is approximately 5.88 Trillion (5,880,000,000,000) miles!
Why can you hear around corners but cannot see around corners?
Sound waves have a longer wavelength which allows them to bend around corners more than light waves.
Diffraction is the tendency of light to?
Diffraction is the tendency of light to spread around corners.
Why is light called a ray?
light is called a ray because light travels in straight lines
Why is light called light?
light is a type of energy, it travels in packets of energy called photons
What is called the distance light travels in a year?
A light year
What is called light that can be bent when it travels?
Refraction.
What do shadows tell you about the sun?
Sharp shadow show us that light travels in straight lines and cannot bend around corners.
What is it called when light travels from air to glass?
When light travels from air to glass it is called refraction. As it travels, the light ray slows down and bends towards the normal. The normal is a line drawn at right angles to the boundary of the medium.
