How do you compare the angle of incidence and the angle refraction?
The angles of light are the result of the law of sines: sine( incidence angle)/speed of incidence = sine(refraction angle)/ speed of refraction
What is the bending of light from one medium to another?
It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.
A lens makes the light change direction what is the change of direction called?
Scattering is an interaction of light with matter that causes light to change its energy, direction of motion, or both. so the plain answer is scattering the particles.
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 .
What does refraction means in terms of rainbows?
Refraction of bending lightrefraction means the bending of light, and the refraction of light in a prism causes to 'split' light in all its colors (that we can see and not see)Refraction is the bending of light. The bending of light is defined mathematically by Snell's law. The degree of bending through rain drops produces the various colors of the rainbow.
When light passes through a lens what do you call the result?
Refraction
How do you compare the angle of incidence and the angle refraction?
The angles of light are the result of the law of sines: sine( incidence angle)/speed of incidence = sine(refraction angle)/ speed of refraction
How does refraction change light?
What is Refraction?? What is Refraction??
What is the bending of light from one medium to another?
It is called refraction, but some material bounces off the light and it is called reflection.
When does light undergo refraction?
light undergoes refraction when the matter changes the speed of light
When convexity of the lens is increased and light refraction does what?
The light refraction is decreased.
What does light bend when it passes from air into glass?
refraction
What is light refraction used for?
Refraction of light allows for the change of appearance of an object
What is reflection and refraction light?
Reflection of light is the bending of light from its point. while refraction is the diverging of light from its bearing.
What is the name for bending light?
Refraction or Refraction of light is the scientific name for the bending of light. Same Thing.
Is a light bulb an example of reflection or refraction?
It is refraction
When there is no refraction of light and why does it happen?
There will be refraction when light passes from one substance to the other (for example, from air to water), when the two substances have different indices of refraction, and when light passes the surface at an angle. In other cases, there is no refraction.
