That happens right at the "interface" or "boundary" ... the exact place where

the two media meet, and it's a different one on each side of that point.

Do Light waves bend or refract at what between two media?

They bend at the interface between two media.


What happens to the light waves as they pass threw windows?

They refract


Do light rays reflect or refract when they hit a concave mirror?

refracts light waves


What travels in waves?

Mechanical waves such as sound and water waves.Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio, microwaves, x-rays.


Does red bends the most when the light rays bend?

No. The longer the wavelength the less the waves refract. Infrared bends even less.


Light from the sun travels through space to earth's atmosphere. What will light waves do when they move from an empty space into matter made up of different gases?

slow down and refract


Can sound refract?

yes, sound is a wave. waves can be refracted.


Why can radio waves refract around buildings while light waves cannot?

that's easy .. you know that radio waves has very wide wave length ( 10^3 meter ) while light _ by which you mean visible light i guess _ has smaller wave lengths which ranges between ( 7000 and 4000 ) Angstrom (the angstrom is 10^-10 meter) also from the conditions diffraction is to pass by narrow slit .. and it depends on the ratio ( wave length of light / width of the object or slit )


Where is visible light found in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Electromagnetism is manifest along a continuum between slower radio waves and faster energy gamma waves. Visible light can be found in the range between infrared light (slower than waves of visible light) and ultraviolet light (faster than waves of visible light).


Difference between infrared waves and red light waves?

Infrared waves have longer wavelengths compared to red light waves. The wavelengths of infrared waves are too long for the naked eye to see, while red light waves can be seen as part of visible light.


What is relation between light and electromagnetic waves?

Light is an electromagnetic wave.


What is the difference between a radio telescope and a light telescope?

radio telescope detects radio waves and a light telescope views light waves.
