You may be referring to the Doppler effect. I suggest to look up "Doppler Effect" in the Wikipedia; but briefly, waves get "compressed" in the forward direction, and "elongated" in the opposite direction.

Light from the sun travels through space to earth's atmosphere. What will light waves do when they move from an empty space into matter made up of different gases?

When light waves move from empty space into the Earth's atmosphere, they will refract or bend due to the change in the medium's density. The different gases in the atmosphere will cause the light waves to slow down and change direction, leading to effects like dispersion, scattering, and absorption.


How does the shadow change throughout the day?

Shadows are all about the Earth's rotation. As the Earth rotates throughout the day, the relative positions of the sun and Earth change. The sun is the primary light source for shadows, and if the light source is changing positions (this is relative to earth), then the shadows will change.

Describe the movement of the sun?

The sun appears to move across the sky due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. This creates day and night as different parts of the Earth are exposed to the sun's light. Additionally, the Earth's orbit around the sun causes the sun's position to change slightly each day, resulting in the changing seasons.

How do i change a direction of a light beam?

To change the direction of a light beam, you can use mirrors or lenses to reflect or refract the light in the desired direction. Adjusting the angle of the mirror or lens will change the direction of the light beam. Alternatively, you can physically move the light source or the object the light is reflecting off of to change the direction of the beam.
