Where do you have refraction?
Observing the diameter of a straw in a tall (clear) glass of water is great demonstration of refraction.A partly-filled glass of water that is placed on a sunny window sill will show a rainbow when the sunlight hits it just right.=================================Answer #2:I encounter it every morning when I put my glasses on.
Is glass a intermerlicular force or intra merlicular force?
Glass is an amorphous solid, not a force.
What is the most important property of glass?
It is a noncrystalline solid
What are the optical properties of glass?
solid, transparent, fragile, recycable
Ice in a glass represents what state of matter?
is ice an example of the liqiud state of matter?
What does light do when it enters a medium?
refraction occurs if the medium is water. or it bounces of a solid,my guess :D
What is it called when a seismic wave bends as it passes from liquid to solid rock.?
it is called refraction
When light passes at an angle from air to glass do the light changes direction due to refraction?
yes light changes its direction when it passes form air to glass due to refraction of light coz air has less density n glass is a solid so it has more density due to that when light goes form air to glass then its speed decreases n its always bends towords the normal. but if light will go perpendicularly form air to glass then it will not change its direction.
What is it called when a seismic wave bend as it passes from liquid to solid?
refraction
Is glass an Amorphous solid?
Yes, glass is an amorphous solid.
How does the speed of light change from gas to a liquid to a solid?
It depends on the specific gas, liquid, or solid, but in general the index of refraction is higher in solids or liquids than in gases. The speed of light is inversely proportional to the index of refraction.
What kind of solid is glass an example of?
Glass is an example of an amorphous solid material
Why glass is not crystalline?
glass does not have a crystalline structure but it is still a solid. There are a few solids that don't have crystalline structure such as coal, a block of wood and a brick. Solids that do not have a crystalline structure are known as amorphous solids.
Is glass a solid and why?
Glass is indeed a solid. It is a solid because it displays every mechanical property of a solid (as opposed to another state of matter).
What is it called a seismic wave bends as it passes from liquid to solid rock?
refraction
What is most likely to be amorphous a glass or solid sulfur or solid calcium or gold?
Glass
Is a glass gas?
Glass is a solid, not a gas.
