When light waves enter a new medium and bend what occurs?
When light enters a different medium, the amount that the light is bent as it enters the medium is determined by the medium's index of refraction.
When light passes from a medium with a high index of refraction into a medium with a lower index of refraction which direction does the light bend?
A medium with a higher index of refraction, like diamond, is more dense than the medium with a lower index of refraction, like air. If the ray of light is moving from the less dense medium (lower index of refraction), to a more dense (higher index of refraction) the ray of light bends TOWARDS the normal.
If the index of refraction of a medium is 1.4 determine the speed of light in that medium?
Speed of light in air (which has an index of refraction of 1) is 3 * 10^8 m/s. So divide the speed of light by the index of refraction of the new medium to obtain the speed of light in that medium. Hope I helped!!
How is the index of refraction of s medium related to the speed of light inThe medium?
The index of refraction of a substance is(The speed of light in vacuum) divided by (the speed of light in the substance) .
How is the index of refraction of a substance related to the speed of light in the substance?
The substance's index of refraction isSpeed of light in vacuum / Speed of light in the substance

How is the index of refraction of a medium related to the speed light of in the medium?
c divided by the index of refraction of the medium = the speed of light in the medium.
When does refraction happen?
Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another having different optical densities.
What does light do when it enters a medium?
refraction occurs if the medium is water. or it bounces of a solid,my guess :D
How is refraction linked to light speed?
When light enters a different medium (refracts), its speed changes.
What do you called when the light bends as it enters a different medium the process is known as?
Refraction ~ look to related link below .
When does the refraction takes place?
Refraction of light takes place where a beam of light passes from one medium to another and the speed of light in those two media is different.
What is the name of the effect where light rays are bent as they enter a medium with a different density?
Refraction
