What behavior of light enables magnifying glasses and contact lens to bend light rays and help people see more clearly?
The ability to make images bigger is called refraction which bends light. Magnifying glasses help make objects bigger so they use refraction.
When light passes into more dense material it bends away from the normal?
When traveling through a dense material, light doesn't necessarily bend at all.The bend occurs at the boundary between two different materials, and whetherit bends away from the normal or toward it depends on both of their densities.
How can you bend light?
Refraction is the process that bends light.
The thickest lenses deflect and bend light?
The most.
Why is light not visible through a bent pipe?
light does not bend and can not provide sufficent amounts of light in for visibility
Which plant hormone causes plants to bend toward light?
kung fu fighting na na na na na na na na na na
What process causes the plants stem to bend toward the light?
This is due to tropic movement(tropism) in plants in which the fixed part of a plant(such as stem) moves in response to a stimulus.If the stimulus is light(as you have asked) then it is termed as Phototropism.And further more stem shows positive phototropism.
Does light bend when it reflects on glass?
no , and its not calld 'bend' its called 'reflected' but its like bend but ITS NOT :)
What is the thing that plants do this towards the light?
Plants have things in them called auxins. The lighter the place, the more auxins a plant will have. Auxins make the plant's cells stretch towards the light, making the plant bend and get taller.
What makes a plant bend toward a light?
The ability of a plant to bend toward a light source is known as phototropism. The hormone in a plant stem auxincauses elongation. Light destroys auxin when it strikes the stem. Because auxin is still present on the shaded side of the stem, the cells on the darker side are able to elongate more than the cells on the lighted side, causing the plant to bend toward the light. Phototropism by sunlight is also called heliotropism. The TickleMe Plant will fold it leaves and bend it branches when Tickled
What is light called that appears to bend called?
refraction
Why do the roots of plants bend away from sun light?
why roots of plant grow away from light
What conditions will bend light?
This phenomenon is called diffraction. when light is incident on the opaque substances having width comparable to wavelength of light then light bend.
When a plant grows toward the light what do you call it?
Its called phototropism. It's actually really cool, the shaded side's cells elongate, causing the plant to bend towards the sun
What is a telescope that uses an object lens to bend light toward the plane where the image is found?
reflecting telescope
Telescope that uses an objective lens to bend light toward the plane where the images is formed?
a refracting telescope
Telescope that uses an objective lens to bend light toward the plane where the images is formeds?
