Light does not refract via a single material. Refraction occurs when light passes from one material into another of a different density. It is the amount of difference in densities that causes the refraction. The greater the difference the greater the refraction.
I believe that the densest material would be diamond, so light passing through a diamond and into a vacuum would seem to be the greatest difference, causing the greatest refraction.
What else can I help you with?
What quality of a material affects how much it refracts light?
Its optical density.
Is it true that the less curved a lens is the more it refracts light?
No, the amount a lens refracts light depends on its material and curvature. A less curved lens will refract light less than a more curved lens if they are made of the same material. The refractive index of the material and the curvature of the lens both play a role in determining the amount of refraction.
Which color refracts most?
Violet because it has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency
What is a triangular shaped transparent object that refracts light as it passes through it?
A prism. It can be made of glass, crystal, or other hard clear material.
What factor determines how much a particular color refracts as is passes through a prism?
The refractive index of the material the prism is made of determines how much a particular color refracts as it passes through the prism. Different colors of light have different wavelengths, which causes them to refract at slightly different angles due to the material's refractive index.
What factor determines how much a particular color refracts as it passes through a prism?
The refractive index of the material the prism is made of is the main factor that determines how much a particular color refracts as it passes through a prism. Different colors of light have different wavelengths, which interact differently with the material's refractive index, causing them to bend by different amounts.
What color refracts the most?
white light
What refracts most of the light entering the eye?
The cornea is the main structure that refracts most of the light entering the eye. It is the clear outer layer that covers the front of the eye and helps to focus light onto the retina at the back of the eye.
What colour refracts the largest angle from a prism?
Violet light refracts the most from a prism because it has a shorter wavelength compared to other colors, causing it to bend more when passing through the prism.
Which colour refracts more in a prism yellow or blue?
Blue refracts the most in a prsm than yellow
What happens when light passes into a material where the speed of light is faster?
-- Its speed increases. -- Its wavelength increases. -- It refracts away from the normal to the interface at the point of incidence.
What do we call the materials that refracts light?
Refraction is caused when light changes the medium that it is moving through. Therefore any material that is transparent to light will diffract it.
