Light energy passing through matter unaffected?
Light cannot pass though matter but matter is technically atoms, which are mostly space with a few, moving objects - electrons and the nucleus. For glass, the loss of light through the material occurs for all glass.
What is a piece of clear glass or plastic that bends light rays passing through it?
It's a prism. A prism splits the light up in all color's of the rainbow.
What do you call something that blocks light?
OPAQUE is the word that describes an object or substance that blocks light (or other energy form). TRANSLUCENT describes objects that allow transmission of light, but scatter it from the original form or direction. TRANSPARENT describes objects that allow the passage of light, usually optically clear substances such as glass.
If a light mean travels through the air then through a glass container and finally through some water inside the container it might change directions how many times?
Light changes direction each time it passes from one medium to another - from air to glass, from glass to water, from water to glass, from glass to air. It will only NOT change direction if it is passing from one medium to another at exactly 90 degrees.
Starlight passing through a device for separating light produces a display of colors and lines called a?
Spectrum
Is a telescope with incoming light passing through glass refracting?
refracting
Does smoke create rainbows?
Light passing through a transparent medium like glass/water does. Smoke is made of small particles of unburnt carbon, and light passing through is does not get split into a rainbow.
How is light affected when passing through water?
Light is affected by everything it touches. If it touches a glass of water, it *refracts* (bends).
Why does a glass bottle magnify words?
Because the surface of the bottle is curved - which bends the light passing through it - just like a magnifying glass does.
The speed of light will be minimum while passing through?
While passing through glass.
What color light is transmitted through blue glass?
Blue light. That's why the glass is called blue.
What is light that vibrates in only one direction after passing through a filter called?
polarized light
Why are plastic and glass called filters?
It filters the light through
Why does light changes its colour after passing through some transparent coloured like a red coloured transparent piece of glass or any such glass or matter?
the light changes colour as some of the wavelengths are absorbed by the coloured glass
Light energy passing through matter unaffected?
Light cannot pass though matter but matter is technically atoms, which are mostly space with a few, moving objects - electrons and the nucleus. For glass, the loss of light through the material occurs for all glass.
We can see through a glass how can we see through a glass?
When the light falls on an object , then it can be visible to our eyes , because of light . This is called reflection on an object . Hence , the statement : We can see through a glass has a question that : How will we see through a glass ? So whenever the object is in the path of the light the object is visible to us .
Why glass is called a transparent object?
Because light can pass through it.
