Does the speed of light differ?
The speed of light is different in different media; light travels more slowly in water than it does in air, for example.
What equation is used to determine speed of light through material?
Speed of light in a material = c / (refractive index of the material) . ' c ' = speed of light in vacuum = 299,792,458 meters per second.
Why wavelenth changes with speed of light?
Wavelength does not change with the speed of light, nor does the speed of light change for different wave lengths. Wavelength x frequency = c (the speed of light) always for any given medium through which it travels. Greater wavelength yields lower frequency, so the speed is always the same. Speed changes as light passes into different media transparent to light, but the change in speed has nothing to do with any change in frequency or wavelength. Those are related only to the nature of the material and the particular light energies it may pass or absorb. So white light passing through a red filter emerges red because the blue and green frequencies have been absorbed by the filtering material. That change in wavelength and frequency is not related to any change in speed within the filter.
What kind of material you need to change sun light to electric?
black material to absorb the light energy and then more steps follow until electricity is produced.
How light propagates through a material is given by the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in that material. What is this ratio called?
That is called the dielectric constant, also the square root of the relative permittivity.
How does light travel when it travels through material that doesn't change?
Light will bounce back to you
What is the material through which light travels?
what is the material through which light travels
What would be the consequences if the speed of light didn't change when it went trough a material?
The consequences would be that eyeglasses, magnifying glasses, and refracting telescopes would not work, and ophthalmologists would be out of business. Come to think of it, the lens of the human eye wouldn't work either. Now that we've had our fun, and to be technically correct, the question is meaningless. The speed of light doesn't change when goes 'through a material', and that's not how refraction happens. The speed of light changes when it crosses the boundary between two materials, but as long as it stays in one material, its speed is constant.
What material lets light through and you can see through?
Glass. Any transparent material, which is any material that lets light through, can also been seen through.
A material through which nearly all light passes is?
A material through which nearly all light passes is called a transparent material.
How does how does light travel through opaque material?
it cant travel through light.
What happens when light hits a transparent material?
Even though you can see through a material..i.e. it is transparent...it may have color and a physicist will want to know this information. What type of light is hitting this material is important to include in your question as well as the type of transparent material. What type of light? (and the strength ...source would be great) What type of material? What color is the material? Answer: It allows light to pass through a material
What material through which light travels through it?
glass
Does the speed of light differ?
The speed of light is different in different media; light travels more slowly in water than it does in air, for example.
What material allows some light to pass through it?
the material glass allows light to pass through it. when it passes through it changes the light into the colours of the rainbow. the colours come because the glass splits the light.
What cannot pass through an opaque material?
Light cannot pass through an opaque material.
What does translucent material do?
Translucent materials allows light to pass through it. Windows is a translucent material because it allows light to pass through it
