Does refraction occur only if rays are straight up and down?
No refraction can occur either way!
In which of the following would refraction occur?
More details!
What has to be different to allow refraction to occur?
The density. Refraction occurs at the boundary between two media of differing densities, such as air and water.
What surfaces refract light?
For refraction to occur, there must obviously be two different substances that are both transparent to the radiation or waves under consideration. Also, the two substances must have different indices of refraction.
Why does no refraction occur when the media have the same index of refraction?
Reflection happens only at the interface between two media, and two media with the same index of refraction act as if they were a single medium. Thus, at the interface between media with the same index of refraction, there is no reflection, and the ray keeps going straight. Continuing this line of thought, it is not surprising that we observe very little reflection at an interface between media with similar indices of refraction.
Does refraction occur only if rays are straight up and down?
No refraction can occur either way!
For refraction to occur in a wave the wave must?
For refraction to occur in a wave, the wave must enter a new medium at an angle.
In which of the following would refraction occur?
More details!
Does refraction occur for both sound and light waves?
Refraction occurs for any waves, where there's a change in the medium.
What has to be different to allow refraction to occur?
The density. Refraction occurs at the boundary between two media of differing densities, such as air and water.
Does refraction occur when light passes through a piece of glass?
Yes, it is true.
How does refraction occur in water?
It is because of the change in velocity of light in two different media.
Would refraction still occur if light did not change speed when passing from medium to another?
No
What is the difference between refraction and transmission?
the difference is transmission occur in same medium,but refraction occurs whn 2 medias are there,its actually bending of light at interface of 2 medias
Which two interaction will occur to the light ray when you move it left to right?
one is refraction i can assure you that.
What is the definition of critical angle?
The definition of critical angle is the angle of incidence that refraction can still occur.
Why refraction does not occur in opaque medium?
Refraction is the bending of the rays of light when it travels from one medium to another... For refraction to occur there should be some difference in the refractive index of the materials.... Refraction can also occur in Opaque medium........
