What are items that resemble the path of light when it travels through space?
lazer
How would you describe the behavior of light as it travels from the container to the air or as it travels in different media?
Light always takes the shortest path possible through any medium. As such, when it travels through a vacuum, it travels in a straight line (no refraction). When it travels through the air, the molecules in the air scatter it very slightly, causing some diffusion and refraction, depending on the composition of the air through which it passes. When it travels through water, the shortest path through that medium is not a straight, collinear line from the point of incidence...it is actually offset by a small angle (the angle of refraction). The bent path that light takes through water or another substance is actually the shortest path available to it through that medium.
Can a path of light be bent?
It's a tricky question, and I am answering from the point of view of an interested layman, not a physicist. Light travels on a straight path through space. The interesting reality is that the space around gravitational fields bends.Light travels in a straight path through bent space. Also, light can be transmitted through optical fibers in communications systems, and the light follows the fiber through whatever bends are put into it.
What are proporties of light?
light travels in a straight path
What items that resemble the path of light when it travels through space?
It travels in a straight line but also it travels through empty space ! 😅
What is the path that light travels if it does not hit an object or travel through a new medium?
Straight. Gravity bends light. It can act like a lens
What does light travel on?
The way light travels depends on what is in it's path.
What does light travel depend on?
The way light travels depends on what is in it's path.
When light travels through a pair of glasses is it refracted?
yes it is because the eye glass has a refracting effect that bends the path of light in to your eye at the right angle
Property of a light that leads to formation of shadow?
They are light travels in a straight line and light cannot pass through opaque objects./ some light cannot pass through translucent objects.
Does light travels in straight line?
Yes because, Light travels in a straight path called a light ray.
What path does light take as it travels through the microscope?
For a compound microscope iss; light source, diaphragm, stage, (slide), objective lens, body, eyepiece, eye.
