If light could not be refracted, it would not be able to change direction when it passes from one medium to another, such as from air to water. This would result in light traveling in a straight line only and could have significant impacts on how lenses, prisms, and other optical devices function. The phenomenon of dispersion, where light splits into different colors, also relies on refraction, so that would not occur.
What else can I help you with?
How would you separated white light into it's component colours?
White light can be separated into its component colors using a prism. When white light enters a prism, it is refracted at different angles based on its wavelength, with shorter wavelengths (such as violet) being refracted more than longer wavelengths (such as red). This results in the white light being separated into its rainbow spectrum of colors.
How does total internal reflection depend on the angle of incidence of light rays?
Total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. The critical angle is the angle at which the refracted ray would be at 90 degrees to the normal. If the angle of incidence is less than the critical angle, the light ray will be refracted out of the material.
What would you observe if light were passed through a prism?
If light is passed through a prism, it will be refracted into its component colors, creating a spectrum of colors known as a rainbow. This occurs because different colors of light have different wavelengths, leading to their separation as they pass through the prism.
What would happen if albert could ride a beam of light?
According to Einstein's theory of relativity, as an object with mass approaches the speed of light, its mass would increase infinitely and it would require infinite energy to accelerate further. Therefore, it is impossible for Albert to ride a beam of light as he has mass.
What will be the colour of sky if there is no atmosphere in the earth?
Colour is reflected and refracted light. If there is nothing from which incident light may be reflected or through which it may be refracted, then there is no sensation of color. In this case, the colour of the sky would be incumbent on whether or not there were other entities in the path of the light (such as dust or ice).
When light goes through a camera lens is it reflected or refracted?
It would be refracted.
Does the earth refract light?
no because if it refracted then it would look bigger
What would happen if a car could travel at the speed of light?
It would turn to energy
What happens if a hollow prism is used?
Using a hollow prism would result in light passing through it without being refracted or dispersed, as there is no medium inside to cause the bending of light. This would make the prism essentially transparent and not useful for deflecting or separating light.
How would light behave if it was scattered absorbed reflected refracted separated and transmitted?
if we assume that you mean in that order the light would be gone once it was absorbed. (what was left of it once it was scattered anyway)
Is light refracted hen it goes through the lens in a normal eye?
That's how lenses work. If the light didn't refract, there would be no value to having a lens.
What would happen if could make sound move at the speed of light?
First of all, how would you go about to do that? I don't think that is even possible.
Are rainbows in space?
No. Not in outer space. That would require atmosphere and moisture. There is refracted light in space, however. Just not in rainbow form.
How would you separated white light into it's component colours?
White light can be separated into its component colors using a prism. When white light enters a prism, it is refracted at different angles based on its wavelength, with shorter wavelengths (such as violet) being refracted more than longer wavelengths (such as red).

What would happen to humans if there was no light?
They would die.
How does total internal reflection depend on the angle of incidence of light rays?
Total internal reflection occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. The critical angle is the angle at which the refracted ray would be at 90 degrees to the normal. If the angle of incidence is less than the critical angle, the light ray will be refracted out of the material.
What would happen if the sun was the only source of light?
It is the only source of light!
