When a beam of light is falling on prism surface and bend then which force is apply on its corner?

The trick behind this is that light is photons, which are massless.


When can light bend?

Light could bend when it enters a prism. A prism is a transparent object such as glass.


What is a rigid beam?

A beam that will not flex or bend - eg an I beam.


How do you make a light beam bend?

With crystals

reflection


Why doesn't the large beam of light bend like 2 beams in the middle of the tank?

Sorry we do not know what it is you are asking.


Will a spectrum be formed if a ray of monochromatic light falls on a prism?

No, a prism won't split a laser beam into a visiblespectrum. Light from most lasers is almost monochromatic, so glass prisms bend the light without splitting it.However, lasers are not perfect, and their spectrum is not an infinitely narrow line. The "linewidth" for a diode laser is a few megahertz, or about a billionth of a percent of the laser wavelength. So, if you use a prism to bend a laser beam, the beam will become slightly spread out, but only by about a hundred-billionth of the deflection angle.On the other hand, certain lasers are designed to emit light of several different frequencies at the same time. The argon-ion lasers used for laser light shows are these types. If you use a prism to deflect the beam of this sort of laser, the beam will be split into two or more colors. But once split, each color behaves as an independent monochromatic laser beam.


What is a transparent object that allows light to bend?

A glass prism


A 10-inch beam is in the path of a conduit run from a junction box which is located 38 inches from the beam The beam is to be bypassed by a 30-degree offset with the second offset bend occurring at t?

It is easier that you bend the conduit around the beam or pierce the conduit throough the beam, depending on how big the conduit is.


Why are magnets important to the particle accelerator?

they bend and/or focus the beam.


What is flexure member?

A beam or rafter that will bend under a load.


What is differential beam bending?

Differential beam bending is when the beam is being bent at equally but at opposite sides. The beam can be bend in separate areas of a single beam or be two different parallel beams.
