What is Light waves?
Is the direction of the wave of the light energy in the same path of the photon.
What happens to the wavelength of light when a ray of light enters a glass slab from air?
when the light enters into another medium, its speed changes. Hence there will be the change in the wavelength. Speed = frequency times wavelength Since the speed of light is less is glass compare to the air, its wave length will be less in glass.
Do light travel in wave or in a straight path?
Light travels in straight paths because of its reflection
When light is reflected does the direction of the light wave change?
Yes, the light wave goes in the direction of the angle or reflection.
What frequencies of visible light are transmitted through a piece of glass if the glass appears orange?
Studyisland: no wave uh it's orange light.
What does rafracted mean?
deflection from a straight path undergone by a light ray or energy wave in passing obliquely from one medium (as air) into another (as glass) in which its velocity is different

What path is light wave from air to gas?
Air is a gas.
When light enters glass from air at an olique angle the wave crests change direction there new direction is what?
The angel of the light ray emerging is called "Angle of Deviation"

Yes, the light wave goes in the direction of the angle or reflection.

What is luminescent glass?
Luminescent glass is a glass containing or coated with a dye that absorbs sunlight. It emits light at longer wave lengths.
What happens to the direction of a light wave when it passes from a less dense medium such as air into more dense medium such as glass?
the light 'beam' (if you like) will slightly change direction this is bending light, light only travels in straight lines but due to the shape of the glass it changes direction when the beam exits the glass its should go back to its shape of ligh beam .
When light travels from air to glass the wave speed decreases B'coz glass is denser than air.?
Correct.
Does light travel further through glass water air or a vacuum?
Further in a given period of time? No. The speed of light is constant in all mediums. The speed of sound, however, which is a physical wave, does change.
