What happens to light when it passes thought a different medium?
It bends.
When light bends what does it pass through?
When light bends, it is passing through a medium with a different optical density, such as air to water or glass. This change in medium causes the speed of light to change, resulting in refraction or bending of the light rays.
Why the ray of light bends away normal or towards normal when it passes from one medium to another?
When light travels from a less dense medium to a denser medium, it bends towards the normal. This is because light slows down in a denser medium, causing it to change direction. When light travels from a denser medium to a less dense medium, it bends away from the normal as it speeds up in the less dense medium.
What is refliction?
when the ray of light enters a medium in bends a come out this is known as refliction of light
What happened to light when it is refracted?
When light is Refracted it bends when it travels from one medium to another
What is going from one medium to another bends light called?
Refraction, which is the bending of light
Why light bends towards the normal?
Light bends towards the normal when it enters a medium with a higher optical density because the speed of light is slower in that medium. This change in speed causes the light to change direction. The phenomenon is known as refraction.
Why does the light bends when traveling from one medium to another?
Light bends when traveling from one medium to another due to the change in its speed caused by the change in the medium's density. This change in speed leads to a change in the light's direction, a phenomenon known as refraction.
When light bends it enters a different medium what is the process called?
Diffraction
Why light with longer wavelength bend least?
Light with longer wavelengths bends least because their lower frequency results in less interaction with the medium through which they are passing. This lower interaction means less bending or diffraction occurs as the light waves pass through the medium. Shorter wavelengths, on the other hand, interact more with the medium, causing more bending.
Why does red light bend the least?
Red light bends the least because it has the longest wavelength compared to other visible light colors. This longer wavelength causes red light to interact less with the medium it is passing through, resulting in less bending or refraction.
When sunlight passes through a prism what colour dispersed light bends the least?
Red light, which has the longest wavelength, bends the least when passing through a prism, while violet light, with the shortest wavelength, bends the most.
