How does the curve in a lens cause it to refract light differntly from a flat piece of glass?
cause i dont know
Explain why a flat piece of glass does not bring light to a focus while a curved piece of glass can?
When light passes through a flat piece of glass, like a window, the light is refracted at both surfaces, but the exiting ray of light is parallel to the entering ray and hence the light's path is not really changed.
What color light is transmitted by a piece of magenta glass?
Magenta
Would a clear piece of glass or a tinted window reflect light the best?
tinted glass
What frequencies of visibile light are transmitted through a piece of glass if the glass appears black?
No wavelengths.
What causes light to refract when it hits a piece of glass?
the light rays hit the piece of glass and the surface of the glass causes it to refract
What is a curved piece of glass or other transparent substance that is used to refract light?
A lens
What is a curved piece of glass or other transparent substances that is used to refract light?
A lens
What is a piece of material which light can pass through and is used to refract light?
A prism- can be made of glass or plastic

What is a curved piece of glass or other transparent materials that is used to refract light is called?
It's called a concave lens.

What does speed change when a ray of light leaves air and enters a piece of glass?
The speed of light slows down ... in general, the denser the material, the lower the speed of light. (For example : air to water to glass.) The maximum speed is in a vacuum.

What is a piece of glass used to diffract light?
PRISM
A triangular piece of glass that reflects light?
A prism?
Transparent material with one curved side?
A lens is a piece of glass or other hard clear material molded with either one side flat and the other curved, or both sides curved. The curving side/s are to refract or bend light.
