Why does oil and water make a rainbow?
Water and oil can make rainbows because they can bend and fragment the light into the basic color spectrum.
When can light bend?
Light could bend when it enters a prism. A prism is a transparent object such as glass.
What causes the light from far away galaxies to bend?
If the light from a distance galaxy passes near a massive cosmic object, then the gravity of that object will distort space-time. That will cause the light to bend.
How do the lenses of a light microscrope makr an object look larger?
They bend light.
How do prisms work?
Refraction is when light bends through an object. White light is made up of all the colors of the spectrum. Different colors have different wavelengths, therefore they bend at different angles. So when white light passes through a prism the different colors bend at different angles, so they separate to produce the rainbow of light that we see.
What is a transparent object that allows light to bend?
A glass prism
How do objects bend light?
The object refracts the light, because of the bending of light or waves as it passes from the material to another.
What is normal eye not able to see clealy the object placed closer then 25cm?
An eye works by taking the light that is coming from a point on an object and bending it so that it is all focused on single point at the back of the eye. The lens of the eye can only bend the light so much and the closer the object is the more the eye has to bend the light. If the object is closer than 25 cm it can't bend it enough.
What is the relationship between electromagnetic spectrum light and sight?
Anything that can reflect light is only visible to an eye... others which cannot are dark..
What color of light are effective in getting the coleoptile to bend?
i have the same ? but its blue
What does bend mean in light?
When light hits and object, the light could bounce off in another direction. This is due to refraction.
What happens when you put an object in front of a light?
1) if the object is opeaque the will not pass through it 2) if the object is hard the light will bend and forming a shadow of that object 3) if the object is cold its temperature will become exact to the enviropment
