What would happen to the ray of light if a transparent block were either more dense or less dense?

If a transparent block were either more dense or less dense, then the intensity
of the ray of light would most likely be less or greater, respectively.
Note:
This statement applies only to the case where the ray of light under discussion
had traversed the transparent block. The density of the block has no influence
whatsoever on the intensity of a ray of light in the next laboratory or the next
county.

If a glass block had two or three chips what would happen to the density measurement?
The density of the glass has not changed, but since air is less dense than glass, the density of the block has decreased.
What object is less dense than water?
A wooden block can be less dense than water.
Why optically dense mediums have high refractive index?
A transparent medium is sometimes said to have a high optical density (or to be relatively dense) if it has a high refractive index.
How can a large block of wax float on water even though it is more dense?
If it's in a block shape and it's floating on water,then guaranteed it's less dense than water.
Why is a block of iron more dense than a block of foam?
Because the molecules are more tightly packed.
Why is a colloidal dispersion opague?
Because it is too much dense so the light can not pass from it and most of it will be reflected so that is why it is opaque not transparent.
Why a block of gold is more dense than a block of iron of equal size?
since gold has way more protons and neutrons in it's nucleus in each atom.
What materials block x ray imaging?
Dense materials such as bones and metals block X-rays.
What does dense mean when you are talking about fur on snow leopards?
Answerwhen you something like, the fur is long and DENSE on the snow leopard,it means what?i guess either rough or oily or just the strands are dense
What would happen if you put something less dense then water into water what would happen if you put something just as dense as water into water and what would happen if you put something more dense?
-- It would float in the water, with part of it above the surface. -- It would hang just below the surface, or at whatever depth you placed it. -- It would sink down through the water like a rock.
A wooden block is in such perfect contact with the bottom of a water tank that there is no water beneath it. Is there a buoyant force on the block?
No. In fact, it's a question of density not of buoyancy. As it is less dense than the water, the water will sink below the block.
Why can't we see deeper into the sun than the photosphere?
Because the light emitted by the external parrt of the sun is strong enough to mask anything behind it.
