What is it called when light bends as it passes through a material?
refracted light
How does incident light emerge from a prism?
Incident light hits a prism, refracted or reflected light emerges from it. In what manner it is different from the incident light depends on the angle of incidence and the angles of the prism. Commonly it may be refracted, dispersed or reflected back.
How incident ray are refracted by a convex mirror?
A mirror does not refract light, it REFLECTS it.
Material that transmits some light and blocks some light?
Translucent. A material which transmits 100% (or close to 100%) of the light striking it is called transparent. A material which blocks 100% of the incident light is called opaque.
What is caused when light bends as it passes through a material?
Light does not bend as it passes through a material. It bends when it passes from one material to another. This is called refraction. Light can also be dispersed, that is separated into its different colours, if it is refracted enough.

When is light not refracted?
Light is not refracted when while it passes through a vacuum, or through any uniform material.
Light is refracted by?
when it passes through a new material

How is an incident ray related to a reflected ray?
The relation between the incident ray and reflected ray is described by the material which is reflecting the incident ray. depending upon the material used the incident ray is scattered or reflected or refracted or transmitted or absorbed. For example if you take rainbow the sun light is incident on the rain drop , it reflected back of drop several times and due to that we get the rainbow with various colours.
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.
Can light be bent or refracted when hit a new material at an angle?
yes it is true
What happens to a beam of light once it hits water?
The incident ray (the incoming light) hits the water and then the speed is slowed. It is called 'Refraction'. Which is the bending of light through a translucent or transparent object.
When light rays are bent they are called?
refraction or refracted
