What causes light rays to bend when they enter a new medium in a new angle?
when light rays enter a new medium in a new angle it may speed up or speed down
What entry angle allows light rays to avoid being refracted?
If light rays entered from one medium to another at 90 Degrees of the surface between the mediums, then the light rays would not be retracted. The light will straight through from the first medium to the second.
What is the name of the effect where light rays are bent as they enter a medium with a different density?
Refraction
Which term describes the notion that light rays bend when they enter a new medium?
Refraction
BENDING of light rays when they enter it diffirent medium is known as?
Refraction is the bending of light waves as they pass from one medium to another.

What causes light rays to bend when they enter a new medium at an angle?
Light rays bend when they enter a new medium at an angle because they either slow down or speed up. They speed up the most if they are in a vacuum.
What kind of meduim does not permit light rays to enter?
An opaque medium.
What entry angle allows light rays to avoid being refracted?
If light rays entered from one medium to another at 90 Degrees of the surface between the mediums, then the light rays would not be retracted. The light will straight through from the first medium to the second.

Refraction
What happen when light travel through medium?
When light travels through a transparent medium it is slowed down according to the refractive index of the medium. Also if light is incident at an angle onto a surface of such a material, the light rays are bent or refracted by an angle at the boundary of the material, the angle again depending on the refractive index.
BENDING of light rays when they enter it diffirent medium is known as?
Refraction is the bending of light waves as they pass from one medium to another.
When light rays enter a new medium at an angle what does the change in speed cause the ray to do?
The change in speed causes the light to bend. If it is travelling from an optically dencer to an optically rarer medium the ray will bend away from the normal. But if it is travelling from an optically rarer to an optically denser medium then it will bend towards the normal.
What is true of an angle of light rays coming into an object and the angle of light rays reflected off an object?
Reflected rays are equal to the angle of incoming rays.
What is true of the angle of light ray s coming into an object and the angle of light rays reflected off an object?
Reflected rays are equal to the angle of incoming rays.
Why perpendicular light rays don't refrect through a medium?
As it is parallel to the normal to the surface, the angle of incidence is zero and hence the angle of refraction also has to be zero. Hence no deviation and no refraction.
