How the angle of incidence affects the degree of bending of light in a semicircle prism?
The larger the angle of incidence, the larger the degree of bending light is. I hope that helped!
What separates visible light into is many colors by bending each wavelength at a different angle?
Prism
State the relationship between the amount of bending and the index of refraction as light passes from an optically less dense medium to an optically denser one?
The amount of bending that a light ray experiences can be expressed in terms of the angle of refraction (more accurately, by the difference between the angle of refraction and the angle of incidence). A ray of light may approach the boundary at an angle of incidence of 45-degrees and bend towards the normal. If the medium into which it enters causes a small amount of refraction, then the angle of refraction might be a value of about 42-degrees. On the other hand if the medium into which the light enters causes a large amount of refraction, the angle of refraction might be 22-degrees. (These values are merely arbitrarily chosen values to illustrate a point.) The diagram below depicts a ray of light approaching three different boundaries at an angle of incidence of 45-degrees. The refractive medium is different in each case, causing different amounts of refraction.
What causes the bending of light?
Bending of light is caused by a light ray going through different mediums, for example from air into a glass prism.Light would bend when it hits the glass (at an angle) then bend again when it leaves the prism.This is called refraction.The basic cause is the fact that light travels at different speeds in air and glass."Diffraction" can also cause light to bend.Another phenomenon is the bending of light in a gravitational field. This is harder to explain. The reason comes from Einstein's Theory of Relativity.
When should you use conduit bends?
You should use conduit bends when you want to bend a pipe to any angle, either 90 or 30 degree angles. To achieve this, you need to master the maths formulas for bending conduit.
What is the medical term meaning chronic flexion of joint?
In medical terms, flexion means decreasing the angle of a joint.
What is the medical term meaning twisting of a joint?
Athetosis is involuntary writhing movement at a joint.Torsion is a general technical word for twisting.Sprain is sometimes the result of twisting of a joint.Athetosis
What is the medical term meaning slanted or at an angle?
Oblique means slanted or at an angle.
Decreasing the angle of a joint?
Flexion.
What is the medical term meaning instrument used to measure the angle of a joint?
Goniometer

What does the medical term flex mean?
In medical terminology, "flex" refers to the movement of a joint that decreases the angle between two body parts. It is the opposite of extension, which increases the angle between body parts. An example of flexion is bending the elbow or knee.
What angle does light travel along that causes bending in refraction?
The angle of incidence.
What is the medical term meaning fold of the skin flap over the angle of the eye?
epicanthus (singular)
Defraction states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle or reflection?
Diffraction is the bending of waves around an object.
What is bending of waves as they travel at an angle from one object to another?
Refraction
The bending of a wave as it passes an angle from one medium to another?
refraction
